I Have Not Forgotten!

I haven't forgotten about this, I've just been very busy.
Main news: I've decided to condense the series to make way for new ideas I keep getting. From now on... unless I change my mind again... example: book one will be two parts long, part one the Elven Wars, part two the Wrath of the Sessak.
Basically the parts of books take the title and story line of the original books, and mushes two of them together. This keeps me within my five book count, giving me room to expand, and makes it so I can keep the original stories intact. As well as it will easily increase page count, which is very much needed now.
Half way through what is now book three. That's as far as I've officially planed. I'm making new ideas and am enjoining doing so. I expect the five new "parts" will turn out pretty well, as well as fix my issue with part's one and two not having enough concrete story line behind it.


I haven't recently worked on the series because of school and a short story contest, which I'm running out of time unexpectedly fast on. It's a little story about vampires, zombies and DaLoreans... nothing big. I don't know if I'll finish it in time. From what I accomplished for NaNoWriMo I could, but I don't know if I'd be able to with homework or have enough will power. The story is pure fluff and I don't really have a desire to work on it much more.

Meanwhile, over the break, my dear friend who knows more about the series now than anyone else, gave me a little gift. To the left is a drawing of Aveir Moonslayer, which she entitled, He Has Picked a Flower for His Lovvvve. Sort of. Basically, I asked her to use her new drawing tablet to draw how she envisioned Aveir, and we decided to do it where he was picking a flower for Arabella, who I believe I've said he's married to. I don't remember. It's not in the series at all, so yeah. It's also not exactly how I envisioned him, but the point was to figure out how she thought he looked.
He has more scars on his face, and his hair has a distinct difference between the dark brown and blond. This picture is beyond wonderful, and I won't criticize it further.
Plus I've been think about. I might write music for the series. Mostly piano and/or vocal, but it'd be cool to have a soundtrack to go along with the book. It'd probably only be available online, but still...
I have to create a more extensive map of the Five Worlds... and other things.
I believe one of these days I might just spill the entire series out, just say what happens and forget my secrets... I might do it, but I don't know if I'd be willing to let that all out quite yet.
