An update on everything.
Added 2022-04-17 15:15:26 +0000 UTCSo as you may have noticed, there was a sudden disappearence at the start of march and no real consistant updates for a little bit. Well this sunday update is to basically catch everyone up and perhaps try and answer a few questions. Since I tend to over explain things, ill try and keep things bullet point.
What's going on with the manga: It's gonna be 'redone'. In my haste, I got manga production started before my works final draft. That's being corrected.
Why the silence: My emotional state had tanked, whenever it does, I tend to collapse inside of myself emotionally and it become laborous to try and reach outwards.
Why did it tank?: Land lord is evicting us. We found a new house so that crisis is averted, though it was a panic I was not ready for, on top of everything else.
Why the eviction?: He's an asshole.
So how's the novel?: Again, first book is 'done' pending editing, which... is happening! Sort of. A fellow author I encountered at my local flea market hooked me up with a website to find professional editors and a printing company. The timeline is about a month and a half approximately.
So your gonna have a novel?!: Yes, which means yes, those who are at a certain tier, ill now be able to actually send you all the book as promised! This also means I can start selling it locally. Also once it's printed, ill begin work on making an Audio Book edition for those who prefer that.
Will you still make the Manga?: Yes, that isn't going to stop.
Anything more I can help with?: Many ways actually, one obviously by sharing this patreon. You can also share my twitter. I also started a go fund me http://gf.me/u/278ibw with a larger goal. This is a short term call for help because of all the financial difficulties I've been getting into.
Difficulties?: It's explained in more detail on the go fund me page, but basically through a mixture of happenstance and my own poor choices, I made things more difficult on myself than they needed to be. I'm humble enough to know and say, I F'd up, and ask for help.
The second novel has started being developed, and I'm already a chapter and a half into it. Events take place almost immediately the ending of the first book. I also finally made the full map of the entirety of the story of Lethia and co that takes place after the intiial three books. It will explore the rest of the world that I had developed and each book would focus on a different one of the five central cast. Despite all the difficulties and challenges, I refuse to give up.
Just as a heads up, moving day is going to be coming up probably after next sunday, and we will have to set up our own internet service. There might be a gap between updates for a bit. However once everything is set up, not only will have I have a new home, ill be able to set up a good studio for twitch streams again! I do deeply miss playing games with everyone, and look forward to getting back onto twitch.
Stay safe out there!
