Hello Everyone! I'm sorry to spring back up after so long, but I've been taking some time to myself for the last few months and am grateful to everyone's patience. But hopefully I will be returning sometime this year (Originally in January, but life was still a bit chaotic. I moved house and found a new job, so time was a bit limited.)
          	
          	This morning I started thinking of the direction I wanted WTSF to take and I realized that simply editing the original wasn't going to cut it. I found it to be choppy and I felt like it was a bit too fast paced. Frankly the overarching plot would be finished by the end of book 3 at the pace I was writing, and I fully intended to do a full 6 books. I still intend to.
          	
          	I've decided for the time being I'm going to fully complete Book One's reworking and then publish it all at once AFTER I get halfway through writing Book Two. Then I'll continue that pattern of not releasing the books until halfway through the next as to make sure I'm not burning myself out. 
          	
          	I want to thank everyone again for their patience and understanding and I hope that when time comes, you'll enjoy Where the Stars Fall: Looming Shadows to the fullest. I want to be sure it's the best it can be before then.
          	
          	I hope everyone has a great day and hopefully I'll be back in a few weeks with updates!

Thank you so much for your continued support!
          	  
          	  A tiny update: I am currently working on the basic plot line development before diving into writing specific scenes for key events. I honestly did not even write a full plot chart before starting the original, so hopefully this time it'll help keep things running without losing momentum!

Working ahead is honestly the best way to go, in my opinion! That way there’s a solid upload schedule and you can change things where you feel is necessary.
          	  
          	  I can’t wait for you to start posting again!

@kittennoodle Thank you so much! Your comment honestly made my week! I've been really inactive due to life happening, but hopefully I'll be back to writing come January 2022 (hopefully lol)!

Hello Everyone! I'd like to extend my sincerest apologies. I've been on an impromptu HIATUS due to some personal things happening in my life at the moment. I've gotten a new job and been going through some family stuff and have not been able to write for a few weeks.
          
          WTSF:LS is NOT cancelled and will be back on schedule as soon as possible. I hope everyone can understand and patient until I can get back to it. Thank you for all of the support and attention you all have given WTSF:LS. It really means a lot to me in this rough time in my life. 
          
          WTSF:LS should be back on track by the end of October at the latest. Thank you all again!

I'm trying to decide how long I want Book One to be... Looming Shadows is currently at 202 Word Doc pages and counting. I'd rather it remain under 500 pages just because the actual Warrior Cats books ranged between 300 and 450 pages. We're only on chapter Nine so I think the book should be between 18 and 20 chapters and then maybe I'll do like a preview for Book 2.
          
          
          *UPDATE* Book Two of WTSF will be named either "Cold Season" or "The Shivering Bones"

Hello! I'm so sorry that Chapter Nine was pushed back a day, but it's still being written. I have a bit of  a block writing the scenes after Chapter Eight's cliff hanger. I'm on a roll now though and it should be out either by Midnight tonight or sometime tomorrow.
          
          Again, I'm so sorry. My, like, sense of time is hardcore off right now due to life. So, like i'm waking up at 2 pm and going to bed at  3 am. It's wack.

Chapter Eight is complete and Chapter Nine is in the last stages! I'll be posting Chapter Eight this Saturday (8/15) and Chapter Nine the Saturday after that (8/22). Chapter Ten will HOPEFULLY be complete by (8/29) and we'll be getting close to the half-way mark of Looming Shadows!

Hello! So I've been really inspired to write in the past week so I've been able to pump out chapters left and right. I'm going to write a few chapters in advance so that I can post them once a week for the month of August. 
          
          Looming Shadows is planned to have approx 25 actual chapters in total. The next book is on the back burner currently, but it is also in development behind the scenes.
