Suddenly there is music...
To anyone interested in my progress on A Phantom Melody, I've now written 1,271 words of chapter five, and it's also tentatively titled. I'll definitely be keeping up with my self-imposed schedule at this rate.
I probably would have had more written by now, but last night I sat down for about two hours and hashed out the first 2,000 words (roughly) of a short story I've been meaning to write for a while. I'm also pushing myself to finish a lot of my open-ended story projects as the schoolwork slips out of overdrive, so I'm keeping track on here of my progress. I find that such notation helps me to keep focused. So, here are the stories I currently have unfinished, and a brief description of where I stand with them, from most completed to least.
Untitled Dragon Story -- 2,127 words written; 838 words of random planning
The Free Way -- 1,608 words written; hand-written planning (at least 2 pages front and back)
The Key -- 748 words written; planned out a bit, but in sporadic and disjointed places
The Arena -- 597 words written; not really planned, though I did discuss the concept with my friends
Hopefully, updating my progress on these frequently will give me cause to write more. Since it'll be a while before I have a finished novel I can publish (mine's still at around 47,000 words and has been there for almost a month), I'm looking into getting some of my short fiction published, but of course before it can be published it has to be completed.
I have an eerie feeling that I'm writing completely to myself...

Let's just say that half of the characters in the story didn't really need to be made up, they already existed :)
