I'm finishing up the covers for the first few books in my Warhammer series, and 'Farseer Falling's brand new, hand drawn cover is finished! I'm super proud of how it turned out! The cover for 'Aquila' is also in progress, and I plan to get it finished over my time off coming up next week. Super excited for everyone to see it!
I put the new character guide updates on hold to put my entire focus on rebuilding my chapter buffer for 'Imperium', which is coming along nicely so far. I've got about a month's worth of updates built up right now, and once I get a few more chapters done, I will finish up the guide pages and post those next.
In good news, I won't be modifying my update schedule! 'Imperium' will continue to receieve updates on Fridays and Saturdays for the forseeable future. Once I get the entirety of the story finished, I will start posting on Sundays in addition to the two regular days, as usual.
In addition to the regularly scheduled 'Imperium' update, the first chunk of characters for the character guide have been posted! Be sure to go and give it a look if you'd like some character bios and artwork! My apologies to my followers who likely got bombarded with notifications for this. The rest of the 'Aquila' characters are getting their artwork and bios touched up and should be ready to get posted tomorrow barring anything weird happening.
Might have to tone back on the posting for 'Imperium'. Work has been hectic since I just got news of my new outplacement position, and I've been busy getting all of my paperwork in order for that. It's exciting, but it means that I haven't had a ton of free time. Therefore, I might have to cut back to just doing one post on Friday or Saturday until I get more stuff written.
In other news, the coloring for the character portraits is now officially finished! I'm brushing up the character biographies, so the guide should be going live this weekend!
So, as of today, 'Aquila' is completed! The Prologue of the second book, 'Imperium', is dropping tomorrow at the usual time. A casual note, both my Prologues and Epilogues are actual chapters and not author's notes. I know that sometimes people use them like Prefaces, but mine actually have lead-ins to the chapters proper. I'll be continuing Friday and Saturday updates until I finish writing the story, which will then kick the updates up to three times a week again. I have about 1/6th of the book finished right now, so it will likely be a little bit before that happens.
I am also working on doing the coloring for my portraits for the character guide, and I plan to try and finish them up this weekend and get the biographies polished up. The first segments will include all characters from 'Farseer Falling' and 'Aquila'.
I have been working on doing some edits to 'Farseer Falling' to do some timeline corrections and unifying a few things that got changed in the story after I really started writing it. Those updates will be going live first over on my AO3 account, but they'll be hitting over here once I go through all of the chapters in one big update batch. I don't know if you get updated when I do that, but if you see an influx of 'Farseer' updates one day soon, my apologies.
In other news! I got the lineart for all of my characters officially done and am working on doing coloring for them for the upcoming character guide! I plan to start putting that up after the close of 'Aquila', but the 'Farseer' characters may be up a little early since those are all done.
I want to thank you for taking an interest in the story I want to tell. you are probably the first person to vote on my stories that wasn't someone I sent the story to directly.
Okay, so I wound up staying up super late last night and finishing going through and doing minor edits across both stories on my Google Docs files, so all of the chapters of 'Aquila' and 'Farseer' have had all of their spelling and grammar issues hopefully corrected and have been updated accordingly. Wattpad wouldn't always keep my changes when I made them, and there were some pretty whack issues I found. I checked all of the upcoming chapters, too, and those are all checked and fixed. There might be a few minor content edits for 'Farseer' in the coming weeks, but I made most of the changes I needed to, so everything should be good going forward.
I have also finished a good chunk of my character portraits for the upcoming character guide! I plan to release that a little bit after the conclusion of 'Aquila'.
Just as a minor notice, I will be going through over the next several weeks and editing both 'Farseer' and 'Aquila' to clean up some editing mistakes that Wattpad didn't save, for some reason, and to fix a few minor continuity errors in the timeline in 'Farseer'. I was working off of older notes when I was writing it and some of the names and dates were a bit wrong for the current 'Aquila' timeline. Most of the changes will be fixing some basic revision stuff with some grammar and spelling mistakes, so there isn't a real big reason to re-read anything.
In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys the three chapters a week!
Some good news for my 'Aquila' regulars! I have officially written enough to begin posting every Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday! This new schedule will begin this Friday, and the final chapters of 'Aquila' will be posted on November 9th at the usual time of 4:00 PM CST.
