New Horizons · 8:40am Sep 9th, 2019
It’s been a long time since I’ve made a blog post... well at least it feels that way for me.
So where are we? Well Desert Getaway was released and completed back in July and was an incredibly fun collaboration with Lawra. It introduced some ideas and concepts into the universe that I felt were fairly fresh and gave some good opportunities to branch off for future projects. More importantly It also gave me an idea of where to take my sequel project.
As a fairly new writer I’m still learning what works best and what doesn’t, and I’ve decided to do something a little different with my next project. Originally it was going to be a smaller endeavor set around the end of Halira’s story, Monsters We Make. This worked fine for me, however it became kind of obvious that leaving such a large chronological gap in between projects meant that there was six years of in universe events and development that I’d have to comment on and include somehow. So I started coming up with different ideas and paths that my characters could go down during that gap. Soon enough I decided that rather than just dumping it all in as exposition I could actually show those events in action.
So here we are now, I have 10 entries (to start) planned out for “New Horizons” which is what I’ve decided to call the sequel to both Departures and Desert Getaway. Rather than one big long narrative it’s a collection of shorter entries that all tie in and connect to each other. They’ll all function as self contained stories but if you read all of them in order you’ll see a little narrative play out that’ll eventually culminate in the ending (and maybe even a few future entries too!)
So here’s a little sample of what to expect, not exactly the most descriptive titles but I’ve really enjoyed working in this so far, and I can’t wait to start sharing it with you all!
