Well, definitely had a lot more progress than lately with this project, the sample chapter from Heart of Corruption has been completed, proof-read and sent out to a few people. Hopefully I'll get some feedback on the chapter to see if my direction is true or not. Good and bad feedback would be best really, so I can see where I went right and where needs improvement.
On another note, I've finished the storyline for Book 2 today! Wasn't expecting it but I got to an excellent finishing point, ends on a nice cliff-hanger to keep interest going for the third book. Speaking of which, I'll begin the storyline for the third book later on, there are a few more projects in the mean time that I would like to finish before this, besides which, I have a lot to keep me occupied on this project.

Update 12
Been quite productive this week, managed to get the first chapter almost finished, just need to flesh it out a little more before getting it approved. At least I've had a lot more time to write since getting my laptop and coming to Germany. So hopefully I'll have time to work on it and have it completely ready before I head back on Wednesday. Haven't had much of a chance to work on Book 2 storyline though, most of my free time has been taken up with relaxing or writing Book 1.

Update 11
As I mentioned in my Status update, I might not be able to do an update next week due to time constraints while in Germany, I'll do my best but at least you'll know what's going on if you don't see anything next weekend.
As for the status of Cycle of Corruption 2, it's coming along very well, I've even managed to surprise myself, while writing I created a character on the spot and even named them immediately, something which I usually have great difficulty with. On the subject of names I've now gotten a name for all characters involved in the book, granted I borrowed some nice-sounding names from foreign languages but they sounded fitting. ;)
As far as progress is concerned I think the storyline is about 80% or so complete now, which means it'll soon be time to shift my focus to another storyline. Thankfully I'll be taking my laptop to Germany and all the spare time I'll have will allow me to work on the actual writing of Book 1. Which means I'll have that sample chapter ready very soon.

Update 10
Well this week hasn't exactly gone as planned, I've pretty much gotten nothing done apart from advancing the storyline of book 2, mainly due to feeling so terrible starting Sunday and only just started recovering on Thursday.
The sample paragraphs didn't get written sadly, but there's nothing to do this weekend so I'll make a load of notes to myself to create those samples to be posted so as to keep fans interested, I know it's probably very boring to just read updates all the time, but as soon as my laptop (eventually) arrives I'll be able to produce a lot more work in a shorter time.
I'll make it my upmost priority over the weekend to get those paragraphs finished, after all this time of following I think my followers deserve at least a small preview of what's to come.

Update 9
As mentioned in the Myspace update, I'm very tired and had a lot going on at work. This has two effects, firstly it means this post will be somewhat short, secondly most of my ideas for the storyline are still on my PDA as I haven't had time to transfer them over in all honesty.
But the storyline for the second book is going along strongly, new ideas coming at me when I least expect it. Usually as I'm trying to sleep, but that's why I keep my PDA close-by at all times, for those moments of inspiration!
I know you'll be wondering about the chapter, I am too, it's coming along quite well, but with the slow progress I think I'm going to have to whip up a few sample paragraphs in the mean time to act as tasters until my laptop can help me power through the chapter itself. The paragraphs will (hopefully) be finished this weekend as I don't have much planned apart from a trip to Homebase and getting things ready to transfer files off the PC.
Once the sample paragraphs are finished and proofed a lucky few will receive them in their inboxes. I'm hoping for detailed feedback but really I'd be happy with knowing if it was good or bad.
