I am slowly working on Fading Light aka I have started chapter 8 and I hope to get it done soon (somewhat hopping once I get this chapter done I will find my flow again)
The hope is that I will have a buffer rebuilt by the end of the year, given that it is the end of the year and things will be getting more busy for me its hard to say if that will happen, started college applications and I start in January (should hopefully be getting all of that figured out in the next weeks) I am also basically done with my trade (I'm currently at a trade school and 2 years of college was one of the advancements)
So what have I been doing since I put posting on chapters one pause? Slowly working on writing, coming to the realization that I need to write a storyboard for the next draft where I am gonna have some big changes to smooth things out (and hopefully that will even out the word count across books) and working on reference sheets
So I have 200+ characters for the Black Dawn Series and I want refs for all of them for the sake of the fact that I draw them and I do want a visual version of this series whether it be a pmv audiobook type thing, animation (would need help with that since I don't have much experience in that) or comic
So my current plan for going back to posting chapters is wait till I have up to that point I stopped on DA or at least get through Burning Horizon posted on there because I am fine with that site being a little behind since I actually can just schedule everything to be posted which propbs will be a little bit into January since with me posting chapters (and refs) daily on there book 1 gets finished being posted in early December (this wouldn't be delaying things as much if I had scheduled it starting in October like I meant to)
besides that point not sure how much of a buffer I can make before the end of the year and once the year ends
current goals are (that aren't school related)
-finish refs (most of the mollys are done so its mostly toms, "last minute" kits, dead people, Scout and her fam)
-working on family trees
-finish Fading Light
-work on Corrupted Desires
-rework "Three Views" oneshot
-work on Price of Peace a little
-Storyboard the 2.5 Draft (or really should called the 3.0 draft)
-more oneshots because they can be helpful since they tend to be shorter than some chapters

my most complex ref is "Duke" he's antagonist
I also should make a combo ref of him possesing Shatterednight

example of that would be on the series back cover (the middle cat)
The tan cat is Loki and he's a smug bastard who will be a bigger antagonist in the 3rd series (whenever I reach it)
