Post Tearna Updates!
After a brief hiatus, we’re back! Last time we all met here, we were witnessing the final chapter of Tearna’s short story unfold, and then I took a break! Well, now I’m back from the break, so it’s time to discuss some things coming down the line, art stuff, updates to socials, and whatever else I can think of as we enter a ‘post-Tearna’ world!
Social Changes
Starting off, we got a bit of a big one. For the foreseeable future, youtube will be on hiatus. I’ve finally realized that I’ve bit off more than I can chew between art, Twitch, the book, and this website, and youtube was just another thing piled on top. Between all of those things, it’s the first obvious cut for me to make given the lack of growth and interaction over there, but all the others will remain online for the present. Whether youtube makes a comeback or not will remain up in the air, but it’s possible we might see content return at some point.
On the flipside, art stuff is moving forward, but it’ll be a little less frequent as I’ve started a couple of bigger projects. As I work through these larger projects, posts for art will be a bit fewer and farther between, so don’t expect to see anything like the most recent litwick piece anytime soon! That being said, smaller pieces are in the works, so expect some things to sneak in maybe once a week!
The Sapphire Verdict
Providing a brief update, I have crossed the 170k threshold and am now working through the 160k range! Development is going at a good pace, and I predict that, one way or another, we’ll see something from this within the next year, regardless of whether it’s through an agent or some sort of self-publishing option. Because of that, it’s time to start reevaluating what we cover each week! Obviously, the Sapphire Verdict is the reason why this website was created, but it’s been on the back burner as I worked on figuring out the word count issues, so now it’s time to start bringing it back around to the forefront!
What this means is that a lot of areas on the site that were on hold will now be unfrozen. Expect the various factions pages to start receiving updates alongside other lore and bits of content, possibly in the form of extended character bios. Additionally, some of the blogs every now and then will feature a deeper dive into a character of choice, maybe sometimes alongside new art as well. What’s possible will depend entirely on what kind of time I have, so don’t expect a banger each week!
New Short Stories?
This is something I’m still struggling to decide upon. I want to do more short story content, but am also aware of the time crunch I’m under because of how much I’ve taken on. For now, we won’t be seeing a new short story anytime soon, I can at least guarantee that. However, depending on what my research uncovers over the next month or so, we might see something a little… bigger.
Or maybe not! Who knows! I do have a lot of ideas for short stories for small side things here and there within my universe, so if I can find the time, I would love to flesh out my universe a little more and do some exploring through words!
That was Brief
Yes, that’s our conclusion already! Why is it so short? It’s simple actually! I don’t feel good! Hooray! No, seriously, I’m extremely exhausted, so I don’t have the mental fortitude to go any farther for today lol.
HOWEVER. I can at least leave with a fun note! Keying off the promise of more interesting character studies and in depth blog posts, the next blog will be one of these, and I will do it over the weekend ahead of time so it can be fully fleshed out! HOW BOUT THAT?!
So, next week, we’ll dive into someone. Not saying who it is just yet, because I don’t know, but we’ll figure it out! For now, that’s all I have the inspiration to yap about! Until next week’s major in depth super blog that I’m sure will be incredible and amazing… cheers!
