Darkening Summary

As I promised, here is a brief summary of The Darkening for anyone who would like to continue the story but would rather not spend the time reading the 69k word story again. Now if you haven't read the story, then please don't read this summary, it is going to cover all of the plot points very quickly, and you will get nothing from it but confusion and whiplash. You can catch the summary just

The Darkening is Back!

I told you it wasn't dead! Yeah, I saw it when those of you placed it in your "dead" and "graveyard" bookshelves, and I gotta say, each one of those hurt my heart a bit, but I get it. I haven't updated the story since April 2019!

The Darkening isn't Dead, I Swear!

So, I know I haven't really done anything here in nearly two years, but I just wanted to tell anyone who may still care that I haven't given up on The Darkening yet. The truth is, I've been in a bit of a funk since before posting chapter 7. My depression came back, harder than it has in over a decade, and with it came the old feelings of failure.

The Darkening: Chapter 7

Finally, it's done! This chapter gave me a lot of grief. I wrote the Twilight section over a dozen times easily, and honestly, I nearly gave up at one point. But I didn't, and thanks to a comment from my newer pre-reader, Zodiacspear, it turned out even better than I'd hoped. So look for chapter 7 to be posted next Wednesday around

The Darkening: Chapter 6

Chapter 6 is ready to go and will be posted next Wednesday. Chapter 7 has really given me a lot of trouble, but I think I've finally just about worked it out, and I'm hoping the next portion of it will come along much quicker. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful time over the holidays, and I also hope you'll look forward to chapter 6 after checking out the excerpt after the page break.

The Darkening Status Update · 3:29pm Sep 29th, 2017

I know I've been very silent for quite a while, so I wanted to give an update on my progress. I just now finished editing Chapter 3 of The Darkening, and the only thing I'm waiting on before publishing is a cover art. Once I have the cover art, we will be getting this show on the road!

Finally, after...how long's it been since I first announced this? Two or three years? But finally, after all of this time spent planning and all the delays, it's ready to be shared with you all. I'm very excited, but I'm forcing myself to wait for that cover art. Once I have the cover art, I will be sharing it with you, as well as the description of the story and a small excerpt from Chapter 1. When you see that post, I will be publishing the story that following Wednesday. I hope you all enjoy this story that's taken me so long to kick off as much as I've enjoyed pulling it all together.
