Stormweaver project sneak peak! And new chapter next week!
New Chapter coming next week! Had a hell of a time figuring out how I wanted to tackle the conversation that was last week's cliffhanger.
Also, check these prototype pins out! We decided not to go with these colors, but the look cool regardless!!

Still not quite where I want it to be for the final book, but this def hits on more of the things I wanted to get out of this chapter! Hope you like it!

Nooo it wasn't accidentally scheduled for 9pm this time 🤣 I just didn't have time to wrap some thoughts on the campaign before just now.
I've also found that the ending falls more flat than i'd like, so I foresee edits, hopefully by the end of the week!

Next Stormweaver chapter coming Monday!
Hey guys! Sorry, I really wanted to get you the new chapter tomorrow, but I had to scrub a bunch of pages that I didn't even want to post as a v1 of the chapter cause they were honestly just meandering bullshit.
Napping, caffeinating, and picking it back up shortly with more of a push into moving the things forward now that we're headed out of the initial setting scenes for the book!

Sorry all! I thought I had this scheduled for 9am, but I fucked up and made it 9pm instead! Only realized when I noticed I hadn't gotten any comment notifications.
This chapter is weird, sorry! I swear it wasn't my intention to write this section, but it popped into my head and refused to get out. I wanted to insert some action earlier in the book, and while this is Chapter 7 right now, it might end up being the Prologue, with parents getting pushed to a later chapter for so... 2024-02-17 00:05:36 +0000 UTC View Post

Yall, this chapter is brutally rough, I'm sorry! I haven't reread through any of it because it flew onto the page for me! That means that there's still a looooot of tweaking to be done (and a billion spelling errors!), but I'm definitely much more pleased with it than I was v1. Took a lot more time with the characters we all loved, revisited a theme I didn't want to erase from Book 2 to Book 3, and addressed some character inconsistencies we all saw in v1!

Chapter 6 rewrite coming Monday
Hey guys! Quick apology, because I had been planning on getting you the rewrite of Chapter 6 today, but I completely forgot it's the final day for the A Darker Shade of Magic Kickstarter, I'm sorry! I've been all hands on deck since yesterday morning, and I need to take either Saturday or Sunday off just for my health. So: Chapter 6 rewrite coming Monday.
It's got some similar themes but with a lot of changes that need...

We're still doing some minor tweaks on a couple, but those bottom ones are very close to being the final! These aren't coming to Kickstarter till later this year (we want to be further along with fulfilling the books before we jump on this), but they'll hopefully be fun things for everyone to have!

2024-01-23 14:12:38 +0000 UTC View PostSTORMWEAVER: Probably doing a full rewrite of Chapter 6, and I'm kinda excited about it.
I am of the opinion that this recent rough Chapter 6 of Stormweaver is possibly the worst chapter I've ever written. which is okay. that's what draft and writing roughs is for, and I wasn't going to NOT show it to you cause I didn't like it.
in fact, I've had an idea for a heavy rework 6 that I think (at least right now) is going to be so much better, and I'm psyched for it, which is awesome cause I usually hate cutting out writing since I prefer to move forwa...

I am almost positive there's going to be a v2 of this chapter cause i'm not really happy with certain elements of it, but for the time being this is my "don't get it right, get it written!" version!
Enjoy, and have a good weekeeeeend!

Chapter 6 coming Saturday, and we're FINALLY doing something with the Type emblems!
Chapter 6 coming Saturday! I wanted to get it out tomorrow, but with Shades of Magic still going strong and the new Wildcrown brand rolling out this week, I've had even more on my plate than usual these last two weeks, I'm sorry ðŸ˜
In other news, though, we're finally going to be using those CAD-Type emblems I showed off last year for something cool! Stay tuned for that project coming later in the yeeeear!

Because I added a new Chapter 1 in December, this is the next chapter after what was Chapter 3!
A little shorter this week, but with at least one really important moment that I think is going to be key to people's perceptions of certain characters.
Haven't reread the second half of this chapter yet, btw! So my apologize for the extra rough nature of it.

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great holiday! I spent a lot of time with family, but I'm feeling great going into the new year! So a few things:
New chapter next week! And new and improved writing schedule will ideally improve pacing!
As most of you are aware these first initial chapters have been very slow coming, as I warned they would be. However, with the new year I'm hoping to kick off my renewed writing schedule thanks to my team taking over a lot more at Wraithmarked and...

Hey guys! Just a quick drop today with a new Chapter 1 to the book. This is a short insert chapter I wanted between the Prologue and the old Chapter 1 that I think adds a good amount to the world/story/early-book situation. Hope you like it!

Sorry again for taking so long on this one guys. LIke I said the early chapters are gonna be a little slow coming out until I can get my rythm, but I think I'm getting there! Just gotta get through some of the setup to where things are flowing again.
