Continued to make no progress on stories. Reason this month: Work. The holidays may result in more writing time, but there are already two other tasks vying for that timeslot, not counting the "relaxing over the holidays" task, so in practice I'm unlikely to have story updates until the new year.

Did make progress on non-writing tasks:

Spent most of October's free time focusing on a Halloween project (which sadly ended up mothballed again). The goal is now to get at least one story finished by the end of November before S4 josses even more than S3 did.

Task updates:
- Got an Almost Finished(tm) avatar picture. Got formal permission to use the avatar picture on fimfiction and in print, at appropriate resolutions (i.e. not art-print quality).

Spent most of September focusing on work. The good news is, my contract has been renewed, so I'm less stressed and might be more creative this month.

Task updates:
- Got more handshaking done for the avatar art. This is Almost Done (tm), and looks good so far. Payment has been handled, and permission-for-use and final artwork are pending.

Didn't get any writing done in August, but did get several other things accomplished:
- Letter of Reference (in CeleMac) has been proofread by a friend. Red ink ahoy.
- LaTeX documentclass for formatting stories is done.
- Commissioned avatar art. Sketch is done; progress beyond that is unknown.
- Commissioned story art for Letter of Reference. Progress unknown.

Got a modest amount of writing done in July.

Story progress:
- First draft of "Letter of Reference" in CeleMac is done and published. Needs proofreading.
- Bare-bones outline of "Meeting the Relatives" in Celemac is up. Virtually no story-prose yet.
- Detailed draft of "Doing It Wrong" in Celemac is up. About a third of the prose is done, interleaved with notes.

Story tasks:

Created an account. Not much to see yet.

Story progress:
- Placeholder for "CeleMac Vignettes". Need to write down outlines on paper before any online writing happens.
- Placeholder for "Evil Dead, Chainsaw Good". Need to consolidate the notes I already have and make a proper detailed outline before online writing can start.

Other tasks:
- To-do: Commission avatar. To be handled during the August retreat if possible.
- To-do: Commission story picture for CM V. Lower-priority.
