A Brief Respite

2 min read
It's finally Friday (where I live)! YAY! Weekend! XD

I've been making progress on A Splitting Heart! Yay! I've finished Chapter 2, but it's EXTREMELY SHORT. So, I'm going to finish chapter three and upload them both at the same time. :)

Also, for this marking period, I have a digital imaging class, so I'll be uploading artwork that I've made for the class. I've already posted a few already. There will be one more upload from this class, maybe a few more, but the extra ones won't be projects but little things I do to relieve stress. XD

Is my grammar OK? It's late, I woke up from a three-hour nap not too long ago, and before today, I haven't had much sleep. I'm also freaking out about a test I took today. X( So, I apologize if this journal entry sounds like gibberish.

I'm playing around with Photoshop at the moment, so maybe I'll post something before I go to bed.

<3

P.S. I'm nearing the final testing period, so please don't be disappointed if I don't post something in a while or if the intervals between posting is long. I'm still a student, so I have to give priority to my studies. Sorry again, and thanks for understanding. :)

I'm supposed to be doing homework right now, so I'll make this brief.

SCHOOL IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE!

So I haven't had time to work on the next chapter. Sorry for the wait, but hopefully soon I'll have the second chapter for A Splitting Heart done in the near future. :)

Note: I had originally posted the following a long time ago, but I deleted it because I had no intention of continuing the project. However, I've been motivated once again to continue. (Yay! XD) So, without further ado...

Ever since I was in third grade, I had a strong desire to compose a fictional-fantasy series. I drew character sketches to go along with my story so that I had concrete images of the characters. I never progressed farther than the second chapter of the first book, but I continued creating designs.

As the years progressed, my artistic and writing skills improved, but I never continued writing, and, instead, continued drawing. However, I was unknowingly composing a story through the designs I made. After many years passed, I had enough character designs to satisfy five books of my series (the overall amount of books in my series is unknown at the moment). I had stopped writing, but the story had progressed farther than I anticipated. It was not until seventh grade, in 2006, that I organized my ideas and stories and planned the series out. Unfortunately, I'm planning to start almost completely over (character names and appearances will most likely stay the same) and make up a new story for most of the books since I based the stories on video games I played (my stories are very unoriginal). I also plan to finalize the character designs and add color since all of my designs are mere sketches, so they are messy and colorless.

As of right now, I'm thinking of having five books in my series, entitled 5-7-5/Haiku for a haiku that is written in the beginning of each book that summarizes or symbolizes the book. Each chapter is considered to be a "Verse."

Books 4 and 5 are "spin-offs" of the original 3 books. I'm planning for these stories to be much shorter than the first three books. The main characters are essentially the same, but the situations in which they are placed in have no bearing to the main events that occurred in the first three books.

Right now, I'm working on the fourth book since the idea for that book is easier for me to work with.

1. Book 1: untitled
2. Book 2: untitled
3. Book 3: untitled
4. Book 4: A Splitting Heart (An Alternate World) [Prologue to The Monarch's Daughter]
5. Book 5: The Monarch's Daughter

Book Summaries:
Book 1: not available at the moment
Book 2: not available at the moment
Book 3: not available at the moment
Book 4: A Splitting Heart (An Alternate World) [Prologue to The Monarch's Daughter]: not available at the moment
Book 5: The Monarch's Daughter: not available at the moment

My plans and stories may change spontaneously. Nothing is set in stone yet. I'm also very slow at planning and writing, I tend to draw more than write, and school doesn't help, so the intervals between my posting chapters will be long. Also, I'm still in the beginning of the designing process, so there won't be any images coming out for a while. (I'm not that good compared to a lot of other artist here, so bear with me.) If you're interested in the series, check for updates and notices often (maybe weekly?) which will be posted in my journals.

If anyone is interested in helping me with the writing and/or designing process, please leave me a message via email or comment below. Thanks! :)
