Hello Electronic Voidlings!

While life has had much hoover vacuum like suckage over time I have somehow been managing to find time to make some serious progress on a big project: ~ Scholar's Odyssey ~ . I've got the wider world and general plot lined up and ready to go. It's a wonderfully vibrant world with plenty of interesting characters, many species of whom the user base for this site should welcome with open arms.

This said, the biggest factor slowing my progress is that we have a whopping 13 Main Characters driving this narrative from 12 separate points of view. I know... I KNOW. I am clearly tormenting myself with this nonsense. I swear it's vitally important to the story and how you will experience it! I have all of you glorious little creatures in mind with all of this hard work. With how important these narrative focuses are I've been taking extra time to write Character Studies from the all the active points of view as prep work. All just to avoid screwing up the main project too much. I'm about halfway through now. Its taking ages to get them to sit and let me tell their stories. Bunch of fuss budgies they are. Worth it.

This announcement is to tell all y'all that with 6 of 12 Character Study shorts under my belt I am soon going to be polishing them up for release to all of you. One at a time. Before they officially go up for your entertainment I will release a story synopsis for ~ Scholar's Odyssey ~ as well.

Unfortunately? With how rough times have been I've learned that any illusions I have to keeping to the promise of deadlines will only end with me dissapointing myself. (Far more than any of you Voidlings out there, I desperately want to push for deadlines which I am crushed that I am incapable of achieving.) I cannot apologize for this enough, but I have learned my lesson. So I won't say when you'll get the new pieces of storycraft. I'll say that you WILL get them, and I that doubt it should take yet another 6 months for me to achieve that.

So.
Please.

Look forward to the mellifluous madness and mystery of the world within the gourd I am about to show you.
Do sleep soundly, with one eye open, as you dream of wild things in the darkness.
Be ready to wake up from The Void.

Squeak On,
Switchblade Mouse
