TLDR;
Maternity leave/hiatus begins. I will continue to try to get a monthly newsletter out every month, but it might not be on the first of the month for a while.
ART, ANIMATION, COMMISSIONS, & MERCH
- Everything has come to a halt in this category, aside from random sketching.
BOOKS, COMICS, FANFIC, & MANGA
- Book 1 's audiobook needs to be postponed.
- Book 2 only needs one Beta Reader to finish reading it. I will start applying edits from the chapters that are done by all BRs within the next week or so.
- Book "3", which will just be referred to as "The rest of the Haven Arc", has been drafted. The original draft for Usek has officially, finally, been rewritten. 47 chapters and all of them will be expanded. Multiple events need to be added to wrap up a variety of threads from Book 1 and Book 2.
- Naturally, the draft for Book "3" will be broken into multiple books... again. I don't know how many books it will end up being. Could be 2 books, could be 5 books. I've got enough titles for 3, so if there's more than 3, I'm gonna struggle a bit on what they'll be called.
- When I take breaks from editing/writing, I'll be working on worldbuilding for Arc 2. I might do some sketching but probably nothing that I'll show for a while.
STREAMINGS
- I am taking a break from streaming to take care of my baby, who will be born sometime this month.
- The cheesecake livestream went alright. Got real tired, but I'm pregnant, so it's understandable.
- Next milestone for Twitch is 700 followers, which will be another cooking stream and I’ll be adding crafting streams back to the vote on Saturday.
- Going on maternity leave from streaming today.
- If you’d like to donate to StackUp in order to fund a 2nd supply crate, click here.
OTHER PROJECTS
- I've got 30-ish granny squares to go for the main design, then I'll do the filler color.
- We built all the furniture for the baby and are just getting the last few things in place. We're down to the wire.
As always, the ebook, paperback, and hardcover are available for purchase over on Amazon and you can use code ‘RAPTOR’ at checkout for 10% off your order at Cheeby Tea! I recommend the Jasmine Green Tea, Black Mojito Tea, and Peach Black Tea.
With all that said, y'all...
Please be safe, be careful, make good decisions and I'll see y'all in the next newsletter.
