Sapphire of Night story updates and rambles

plans for the new year

So 2021 has come to an end. I have to say it wasn't an extremely bad year. I for the most part have been posting "weekly" on wattpad (somewhere between Friday & Sunday)

I have about 10 chapters left of book 3 of the 2nd draft of the Black Dawn Series and I will basically be half way through posting book 2 (its debatable whether chapter 15 or 16 is the halfway point given book 2 & 3 are 31 chapters) and I think I can officially get Price of Peace going (just need to acknowledge it isn't going to be perfect)

I know I met my writing goals for the Black Dawn Series which was get book 2 done by July 19th and Twisted Shadows at chapter 16 by the end of the year

For the new year I have a couple of goals

For DeviantArt I want to get back to posting things. Like the refs (which I do need to finish getting done), family trees for BDS (will be posting them as I go hopefully) random drawings I finished but never posted, concept drawings, maybe comic attempts (I want to have a comic but I don't know how to comic.. Maybe I will do a drawing and then have text in scripted format like a couple of people I follow do for their stories since I am dialogue heavy..)

I somewhat want to put the second draft of Black Dawn on here, maybe I will do it in that drawing format, maybe not, either way even if I do wattpad is going to remain ahead for any story I post in writing format

As for wattpad I do want to keep posting as I do now, if I get a big enough buffer between the stories maybe I will make a rough schedule for it

My writing goals are as follows

Finish Twisted Shadows

Try to get started and ended Fading Light by the end of the year

Write Corrupted Desires

Write some more oneshots for Black Dawn Series

Maybe storyboard a short warriors fic and post it or make a thing of concept oneshots for the warriors fics that I might not get around to ever fully making

Get Price of Peace moving (if possible reach the incomplete concept that you did for a contest but can't post because big spoilers)

Maybe storyboard some concepts for the inbetween series for BDS

Maybe post concepts for the Diamond Legacy

But yeah my main goals are try to keep up on writing bit by bit, keep posting the "weekly" content on wattpad, be a little more active on DA

Irl goals be keep up on trade work, start prepping a bit more for college and looking into my ideal career more, gain a little more confidence, work hard on driving (I started drivers ed and am on break and get to finish hopefully before February but I am not a confident driver), try to be more social (I say as were I am going right now, not many people are extroverted), practice writing some guides and tips from things I know how to do, learn how to record videos (also find out if I need another program to record for audio), practice drawing more things (like evil trees or relearn however I did the old background sky for the series cover that I never posted because I lost motivation whenever I made that and was on a cover hype and ended up using shiny night sky)

ps. I am aware its not 2022 yet for me in est but I thought I would post this ahead of time

I hope you all have a great start to the new year
