Lately it’s been quiet…

General
I had a huge gap between chapters, more than I would have honestly liked but there have been reasons.
Work has been stressful and the current trajectory of my irl job has been all over the place. That’s no excuse or reason for me to complain, it’s just the nature of how the world is as of recent, but it still is something! Some family stuff has happened, but I won’t bore anyone with the details. Not a fun past few weeks (or even week) but I think things are starting to look up.
Just to give an update on the three working projects and a few others:
Donum is back burnered for now. It has issues and I think could use a good rework. It wasn’t meant to become a multi part and I think that shows too much in it. Eventually I’d love to revisit it, but for now I think it’s best to set it aside for later.
The Broken Wing is getting close! I already have progress made on all of the final chapters, but have been taking my time to make sure it’s worth the effort. This will be the final story involving Lyall (I know that’s what I said last time) and I want as satisfying of an ending as possible. Without spoiling, there is going to be quite a lot happening in the next few chapters, but I think you’ll love it!
The Bird House edit is coming along nicely. Already the beginning is much smoother and reads a little less like authors first book, at least I hope! Before long, I may ask for a few volunteers to give it a read and see how it compares.
tayohshadowind has been a huge help in the edit along with help from another user I have not been able to verify wants mentioned. Bird House has reached farther than I could have ever imagined and I’ve heard so many wonderful stories about people’s experiences with the book. I hope that the new edit allows more people to enjoy the story of Lyall and his friends.
The next big project is in the works! I know I really should finish the current two and that’s happening soon, but I’ve been collecting thoughts and outlining the next story. It’s not part of the Anima stories but still has its roots in TF. I won’t go into too much detail yet, but I do have the working title of “Neighborwood” that I am comfortable sharing. I think it’ll be a different take, while still being a fun read. I can’t wait to share more in the future!
I figured I should give an update, I promise I’m not going anywhere and that I’ll have more in the future. Life’s just been a little difficult, but I think everyone can say that right now.

I get having life slow down your writing. Wish it didn't, but we make do.
Excited to see how TBW ends!
Work sucks, but as long as I can keep writing when possible, I’ll make do with it.
I cannot wait for the next bits to be in front of everyone!
Nah, I kid! I'm happy to help with all the editing. I'm just a little disappointed in myself for having not done any as of late. IRL jobs are effecting a lot of people these days.
I can tell you the editing has been significantly less in the later chapters haha! The first half was quite rough in comparison.
Either I made less mistakes or I’ve grown complacent of them. Not sure yet 😆
