    Covers, Both Inside and Out

    I received the second proof of my printing of the Fleeting Light series, and besides some brightness issues that I'm getting tips on correcting, it turned out incredibly.

    So, I think it's time to show off a commission I'm beyond ecstatic and pleased with how it turned out. Say goodbye to the old blandness:

Three Days Left (And Inspiring Music) · 2:07pm Apr 29th, 2020

Well, tentatively, at least. All except the epilogue is fully written. Most of that has had a first editing pass in the past, and I can probably manage the rest before it's actually supposed to be posted.

Still worrying about tripping at the finish line, but it is what it is. There's always the concern you can't do your ideas justice, but I hope that it doesn't ruin the horror of the previous parts by explaining things.

When it comes to actually writing, I've found a lot of success in listening to music that catches the mood I'm looking for. Of course, because most of what I write is horror, the music is a bit unsettling or odd, but it's done wonders overall. Have a fun selection that I listened to for writing the ending (also watch Midsommar and Hereditary they're amazing):

YES! I'm sure this story will be totally awesome just like the previous ones. Thank you for such an amazing job! :twilightsmile:

I honestly found Hereditary to be incredibly frightening. Given my own research into the demonic and supernatural, I was very impressed with their attention to detail.

Midsommar was...

...let me put it this way, I'm glad you like it.

So, you made it in time. :D

Again, speaking just in case: I tel obvious things and I trust you will make everything perfect, but still - if you find something during these last days that should be heavily edited, or sudden inspiration strikes you and you want to add something ythat you think can make final chapter better - it is ok if story will be published a little later.
Sticking with actual dates from storyline is awesome, but a better quality is more important. :)

Meanwhile, I started to ask myself - should I read each chapters in the days where they were released, or should I read the whole story after last chapter is released?..
I did the latter for all previous books, but it's because I read themn half-year ago. XD

I also listen some musics from games when I read, reread, and translate this story. I have some of them, but I feel these two fit this story perfectly:

Edit:
Tried to type keyword from A Glimmer of Hope in the Black as password to read: it didn't work. D:
Damn!

Heh, it would be interesting if you make that in orer to read finale, you have to find and solve some puzzle to get keyword-password. XD
Did I mention puzzles from first two stories are what gave me additional atteraction to this story?
Sad there wasn't any in third book. Hope there will be some in finale. ;)
