I Talk Too Much

some other updates (story stuff mainly)

Alright

So

I have decided that I'm going to give myself an official deadline for Forgotten Demons, since that stirred me into motion with Shattered Souls.
The last chapter/epilogue/fun facts page/whatever will be posted January 6th, 2019

Yes, that's in five months

The full book will be approximately 22 chapters, and if I diligently update every other Tuesday, I'll be able to do it.

That means this project will have been going on for more than a year, but to make it a year exactly would be too short (bc FD was first published in October)

Reflected Ruin will still be October 13 (what is it with these thirteens, seriously), and I'm kind of working on Maps as well. I've got my original projects to think about as well (Should the Ravens Ever Leave, Morality, To Shape the Stars), but I feel like those can wait a bit longer.

I'll hopefully be publishing War of Wither's End soon after that, on the Author Trilogy's second anniversary (Jan 13)
This is being extremely optimistic, but if I really focus and put my mind to it, I think I can pull it off

By the way, I'll be posting chapter 7 tomorrow. After that, I'm going to get a bit more rigid with my publishing schedule

From now on, if I don't update on a designated Tuesday, I'll most likely say smth about planning to post that Thursday.
If I miss a designated Thursday, start harassing me

Oh and lemme see if I can summarize the next FD chapter

*ahem*

Major Lukden, me making up a lot of bullshit about how potions work, the Saffridge crew are weirdos and all apparently have a death wish

Yeah

And about the fire, it seems like we're no longer in danger of having to evacuate. I've purposely been avoiding watching the news, but I've heard from my parents that the wind has shifted and that the fire department will put as much effort as possible into keeping the fire from coming any farther this way. I think it's gone up to about 30% contained, but again, i haven't been paying attention. 

The air outside has been officially declared toxic, though, due to all the fucking smoke. The sky is still all grey and yellow and horrible, and it's stiflingly hot.

I greatly appreciate all your kind words and assurances. I'm still scared and feeling extremely stressed, but you did help a lot.
My friends came over a few days ago, and even though all we did was talk and watch movies, that calmed me down a great deal as well.

I'm still gonna be kind of inactive, but I'm working on stuff and trying to improve my mental health. Like I said, I'm trying to knock out my procrastination habits, which will hopefully mean more FD chapters soon.

Peace, love, and Redvines,
