04/26/2023: Currently in the middle of all the work. The novella is coming along and I am rereading the book in order to keep it consistent. Some notes could be wrong if I don’t. The rest is coming along nicely. The main thing I need to do is prepare some of the smaller stories, and rework the website. There won’t be any major changes, but just some things I believe will be effective. We’ll see what happenes.
Sequel Work
04/12/2023: I finished the novella for the first draft of part 1 and I need to get some of the other information finished as well. For the most part, I have the back bone of the story. If all goes well, I might have the first story completed by late May and move on to the next story afterwards. Something else that’s giving me a lot more clarity in the writing is keeping details aligned with one another and a closer emphasis on the threads. Last time the world was a bit smaller and simpler. This time I am trying to branch out and see how much is needed.
There's Work to be Done
04/05/2023: The book is coming along. So far, the first novella, draft 1, is coming along nicely. There will be at least three. Trying to keep it at 3. I don’t know when it will be done but, my goal is at least to finish the third draft by the end of this month. Then I will have two books ready this year. If I build up my catalogue of stories and then try to complete them later, things will be done sooner than ever. Here’s to planning. I won’t wait too long. Let’s get this done. Some proud temporary sketching here.
More Work Done
03/29/2023: Currently just working on the first part of the next novel and trying to get the first anthology completed. The anthology should be done by May and the next novella should be done in June. I will get them done. Too many plans.
A little More Planning
02/24/2023: Too long since I’ve made so many plans. For now, it’s about time I shift things into high gear and get things done. I tried to do full novels, and it helps, but with stories bouncing around in my head I feel it might be better to go back to publishing novellas instead and get them out faster. This way everything will be more streamlined and the stories will be in a continuous march. We’ll see what happens. The anthology is done but, on hold for edit until later on. Here’s to the new year, a month and a half later.
The Plan
02/01/2023: It’s been too long but things are coming together. The first anthology is almost done. There is also a redraw I am thinking of for “The Day I Lost The Sun”. I have some work to do for this year. Let’s see what happens.
Getting There
01/04/2023: The children’s book is done and now I need to edit the novel since it actually not done. Aside from that, I also need to work on the anthology. It is nearly done for the initial beta read. Let’s see what happenes.
Work To Do
12/28/2022: There is a lot of work to be done. Let’s start now.
The Deed Is Done
12/21/2022: I have completed working with the children’s book. Just need to verify physical copies, for the ebooks are ready. The only thing that is left is to work on the short stories. I will keep them as ebooks until I have a collection. So, just things to work with. I will get them done hopefully by February.
Done With One
12/14/2022: Finally managed to publish a paper copy for the book. I will do a little work on the ebooks later on but for now. Things are going to remain simple and clean. The book will be available soon. I just need to adjust a few things, wait for a proof read, and it will be ready. Now back to the anthology.
Kids Book Under Way
12/07/2022: So two things as of now. 1) The children’s book is almost available and has been published. Just need to wait for the processing to finish. 2) I am almost done with the anthology as well, so this should be a productive week. Still trying to get things sorted out for now.
Books Are Go!
11/30/2022: Getting some progress along the way. The kids book is almost done and will be announced later. With some work getting done, I will focus on the anthology next. Not certain when that’ll be done but, the ball is rolling.
Working on More Plans
11/16/2022: Currently working between a children’s book and first anthology. I just need to see how I can throw everything together for now. There’s the map, details of the world, and a coherent history I need to try and maintain. I have a general idea of what I want but, I also know that any short story can blow up and turn into something else. The first novel was suppose to be 12k words at most until things went deeper. Get the work done.
Better Covers
10/19/2022: Need to work on covers more. Surprised how much I did.
Progress and Planning
10/19/2022: Back at the computer for a day but, still planning ahead. Current plan is to write the shorts as a book and then add some key details in between. In the meantime, I’ve completed one for Manor of the Shiyuna (unedited). Not sure how to post this on the sight but a link will be here..

Getting Things Done
09/21/2022: I’ve been away for a little while but, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been active. So far, I’m working on the short stories and have one finished. Using them to flesh out the world for now. Not certain how many short stories I will make for an anthology but, I will think of something. Five is looking like a good number. I’m also posting them for reading on wattpad. Still working on the drawings and trying to put the ideas down but, one step at a time.

Some Progress
08/24/2022: As things progress, I’ve reached a few milestones. I have most of the notes needed done and a short story in the works. The second novel is outlined and ready for a first draft. So…progress. Still more to do. My only question is if I should try to make a fake language. I don’t know.
Another Plan
08/10/2022: Done with the novel’s story layout and I have a few good ideas coming along for it. Once this is done, I will go back to the world notes. I have to work out a few issues in it. Trying to remember the lessons of Brandon Sandersons’ rules on magic. I don’t know when this will be done but, I’m getting there.
More Notes
07/26/2022: There are more notes and drawings to do. I think I’m getting better. Either way, still need to get the childrens’ book done and the working on the outline for the “Priestess of Kelvert.”
More Notes
07/20/2022: Currently working on the notes and getting a few more things done for the story. Both should be done soon.
