I know it's been a month, again... BUT I have some actual updates this time that might be liked. So after talking it out with a few Book Ravens (join the Discord if you're a fan https://discord.gg/EKU8Yba) I have come up with an idea.475Please respect copyright.PENANAHt8LtugVjN
Of course I warned some that Novel 2 of Ravenlight would be a ways out; but nowhere near as long as it took for #1. #1 was all about me figuring out the story, the changes compared to the predecessor series. Mostly it was just me having to write it (a few months of work probably) and then probably trying to condense it. At the end of the day, I was worried I'd have to split the plot of Book 2 into two novels because of all the ideas, or to awkwardly push some ideas till later novels which uh... yeah no, would not work as well, lol. Was thinking in turn that Book 2 might be around 700-800 pages which was NUTS.475Please respect copyright.PENANAOJJOgsQoqj
At the same time I knew I'd have trouble balancing my new life + 2 projects + other projects I wanted to do + promotion + my D&D stuff + other stuff I want to try like streaming + of course the new Ravenlight taking up a lot of time. That's a lot of things, a few of which are pretty big. Like try working a job (or 2), a social life, a full novel, then spinoffs, and then other things on the side. Too busy, you'd have to push the novel off for a lot longer to make it all work probably. So bottom line was, Novel 2 would be facing major delays.475Please respect copyright.PENANAUTHGVTMPNU
Then I remembered back to my prior main series title. At the end I wanted to break it down into volumes, release chapters weekly, that sort of thing. Well hey, why not do that for Ravenlight like I am with my spinoffs? I asked, and got some answers both on the server and in DMS. Writing a chapter a day or every few days, balancing other projects back to back, THAT would be doable as there'd be no set limits to make a new novel.475Please respect copyright.PENANAT8h4O50MNT
Of course that brings up a few things, like going back to make changes (which I did A LOT with Novel 1). Well I know that the circumstances would be different. Novel 1 was a lot of planning and setting events to kick the series off, and set the series up. Sequels would be easier, especially since I'd have a better idea of what I'm doing (and BOY do I have ideas lined up). PLUS I would inevitably release 'volumes' and could always go back & change things in the volumes (not major changes but maybe added content) to make them worth buying. Plus Mangaka, who I look up to BIG TIME, can't just go back and make changes as they need to keep on charging forward. Honestly I think I can handle that so instead of trying to craft the 'perfect' story I Just turn it into an imperfect story with 'perfect' dancing (so to speak).475Please respect copyright.PENANALNtGVaJnWy
Lot of other stuff I could mention but why bore you even more?475Please respect copyright.PENANA8x0SYZ25tM
So that's the status. Ravenlight is going to go the route of my spinoffs, weekly releases. Of course that means Sins of Fate and Wings of Freedom will rebound too, making comebacks at around the same time. Red River and Adventures of Karo are still in the plotting phase, Red River moreso as AoK has taken a few setbacks in direction change.475Please respect copyright.PENANAMtfvPk0caE
So, when exactly would R, SOF, and WOF relaunch? Atm I can't say, 2021 for certain, just not sure when since I still have a lot going on. I'm also still trying to push those three along with ads and such to build the audience up more. So far that's going slow. Would love to hit a goal, I Love to Read Month (February); but we'll see.475Please respect copyright.PENANADmAI16jgCi
Beyond that I still have other stuff in the works like the wiki (I am planning to livestream me working on that at some given point), character art, OST building, then some youtube work, and etc.475Please respect copyright.PENANA3I8CD7eS4c
Lot of uncertainties atm, lot of progress being made. Just going to have to see where it goes. Cutting it here because I don't have much more to discuss soooooooooooooooo...475Please respect copyright.PENANAGGNK9BB8vW
Tata for now, have a great rest of your day!!475Please respect copyright.PENANADbkIu7rPVF
