I like making worlds, throwing wrenches in their works, and making characters pull out the wrench. V...
It’s been a long time, but I honestly didn’t have much to say beyond "still hammering at a keyboard!" With my pre-order restart date not coming up for a while, I kept writing updates and never posting, feeling guilty about the lack of real content. So this time, I’m writing this as I go and forget thinking ahead.
There are some minor changes to the main Blurred Weaponry content. I uploaded "the version I’m going to send to an editor" for Chapters 1 (both separated scenes) and Chapter 2. Plus I uploaded Chapter 3 and sent it out ahead of time!
I like the direction of this introduction to the story, as the tragedy at the very start seemed sadly understated in the old manuscript. If you haven’t read that stuff, please do.Tell me what you think, highlight excerpts, and so on. At most I’ll upload two more chapters, especially since Chapter 5 features one of my favorite conversations in the whole book, so I gotta put that out somewhere.
I’ve also been working on tons of extras that I’ll reveal soon. To put some heat under my butt to get it done and stop being lazy about it, I’ll post a small schedule now!
June 17th: Some Artwork!
July 1st: More Artwork!
July 15th: Sending the manuscript to my editor (finally!) Also, new YouTube clip. Also, going to do more work on a prequel novella and my next project, Sinopia Property Management.
August 5th: Either some artwork from a talented artist or a new YouTube clip.
There, now I have to do all that. I’ll also announce a date for the pre-order restart as soon as I can, but my plans include having a lot of money saved up, so that date could go a week ahead or late, and announcing it now would be a hassle. It’s a comin’, though, for sure.
Thanks so much to those that follow, and I promise to be way more involved in paying attention to Inkshares updates and stuff from now on!
