Updated the signature to include all three of my main series projects now, with working links.
Happy New Year everyone.

I know it's been a while since I dropped an update on my profile here.
All three main series are now being hosted on Scribblehub.
Aethara, The Elarian Chronicles (Duskfall), and Aestelle Nocte.
The hope is to have Duskfall's first chapter finished and released (both parts) by the start of the new year.

Aethara, Chapter 2 is coming along well.
I've got a few things planned for this one.
1) An aerial battle with an Elder Dragon.
2) Introducing the next supporting cast member in the running for telling Interlude 1 (Saphina).
3) First Ultimate-Attack Reveal, and it is going to be cinematic as hell. Who's do you think it'll be? (Rubedo, Nigredo, Albedo, or Brynja)

I've finished the first editing pass on Aethara: The King's Path Chapter 1.
It's sitting neatly at just under 6000 words, and should be going live on ScribbleHub tomorrow, after I finish another quick read-through.
Those who want an early peek can find the updated chapter in the manuscript document on my discord.

Aethara: The King's Path
Chapter 1: Official Release (Publication) Date: 11 / 30 / 2025

Just finished writing the rough draft of Chapter 1, and pre-edit and revision, it's sitting neatly around ~3700 words.
By the time the edits and revisions are finished though, you can roughly expect something closer to the expected range (~5500 - ~6500) words in length, because I will be adding additional detail and a few more layers to the prose.

Working on typing up the rest of Aethara: The King's Path chapter 1 today.
Sitting around ~3000 words at present. Should have the rough draft typed by tomorrow, then it's just editing and posting.

?️ Weekly Progress Update #2
Aethara
* Prelude - Released And Available
* Chapter 1 - Currently at ~2000 words (+1,150 since last update)

?️ Weekly Progress Update #1

Aethara: The King's Path
* Prelude -- Rough Draft Finished (~400 words) - Release planned with Chapter 1
* Chapter 1 -- Rough Draft Continued: Sitting at ~850 Words (+ ~700 words today)

Work has formally begun on writing Aethara: The King's Path (Chapter 1).
Progress is slow, but steady, and I hope to have the chapter posted (with the prelude) by the end of the month.

Slow day today, with only ~600 words written across the three main projects I'm working on, but it's still forward progress.

Okay, just finished updating both of my Scribble-Hub profiles. Here on the forum, and on the main site.
The avatar is a temporary fill-in until my friend finishes the avatar artwork I commissioned him for, but fits well enough.
