Here we are at the end of the month!
          
          It took a bit longer than I had hoped, but it feels like this spoopy weekend will be a great time to launch the first five revisited chapters of Lutari: Mind Games. 
          
          Starting with Chapter 1 tomorrow, there will be one a day (about midnight or so in the UK) up to and including November 1st, which is the Pagan celebration of Samhain. 
          
          There will also be an extra chapter released on Hallowe'en which covers a darker short story that was written for the original story.
          
          I look forward to any and all feedback!!

Hi friends!
          
          It's been about six months now since my last update to Lutari Book One, but I wanted to make an official announcement that the currently published version will be taken down next month as I feel my complete rewrite better tells the story I was hoping to deliver.
          
          I found a number of issues with the way the story was flowing, how the characters were dragging myself as the writer off of my original template, the introduction of certain themes that never got continued... the list is long for things I didn't like about the project. So, what better way to go about editing those parts than to do a complete rewrite from word one of the Prologue!
          
          The new telling will be delivered under the revised title "Lutari: Mind Games" and will be updated on a twice-monthly basis for less stress on me, but starting with the Prologue through Chapter 5 all being uploaded in October.
          
          Thanks for your patience, and I can't wait to read all the comments and critiques super soon!

Hello all and a happy holidays!
          
          With this new chapter update, I would also like to reveal the new cover art for my novel! What started with an ugly draft I scribbled one day is now a tangible and fantastic image done by my friend Tricksterrz (Insta: @tricksterrzart). 
          
          I like to credit myself as being... okay at art I suppose. I am working on several other sketches that I intend to add as chapter headings when I finally get around to editing some of the chapters  but I was thoroughly impressed (an understatement) at what Tricksterrz sent to me last night. 
          
          I will be using the busts of our five friends, one of Aurelia that originally stood where the new art is now, as headings for chapters that more heavily focus on them. 
          
          In the meantime, if you have any questions about the series or would just like to talk, you can reach out to me here on WattPad or my email address, arctyswrites@gmail.com !

Thank you so so much to everyone who has read and commented on the early parts of Lutari Book One so far! This story has been driving me insane for a number of years and has covered way too many rewrites and reimaginings since its origins, so it's really nice to finally write its final form into words. 
          
          I am hoping to update at the very least once a week; Saturdays at whatever time I want (). Other than a second part of Chapter 1 coming Wednesday, and Chapter 2 (or 1 part 3, depends on how it goes in my head) up for this Halloween, I will be sticking to that chapter per week publishing schedule.
          
          Using the upcoming NaNoWriMo, I will most likely have many chapters as Drafts in advance as WattPad has a reliable word counter in the top corner when writing and becaise my Grammarly app doesn't like Word, so feel free to read the early stages of the rest of the story as it pieces itself together. 
          
          Again, thank you for reading this far and I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story!
