Well, just thought I'd pop in to give an update. Ended up having a pretty bad episode today at home. Couldn't walk, talk, or operate my hands enough to call for help, but was thankfully not alone. Two friends of mine were there to help take care of me and call an ambulance and even stick by my bedside in the ER.
Still no progress for a diagnosis or a cure, but at least I'm not giving up.
Well, it likely won't be this week, but chapter 5 is typed up, and I'm looking to have this one edited. If I can, I will also try to create some art for this chapter as well, but we'll see where my motivation and talent line up.
Otherwise, I'm open to any non-spoiler questions or requests (for consideration).
Oh, and a big thank you to all my recent followers and story trackers. I hope you will enjoy what I have coming.
I just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that I don't foresee the next chapter being released this Wednesday, and will probably be pushed back a week. This is due to my ongoing medical issues. Nothing really all that new to report on, and certainly no positive updates.
Sadly, I wasn't able to get what I needed to be done in the writing process as my symptoms kicked up again and brought me down.
Hey, everyone.
Wow, you know, it's been a while, and I'm not even going to look to see how long it's been since I've last published a chapter. However, I've been starting to write again despite how hard it's been. By that, I mean I'm still making a lot of mistakes, and Grammarly is working overtime, underlining all my fuckups.
Due to repeated health complications and trips to the emergency room, I am woefully behind schedule with putting the next chapter together. Still no updates or diagnosis. The struggle continues as to why, yet... here I am.
So, the next chapter is typed up and ready to go, but I want some art to go along with it, and it's going to be better than most of the art I've put out before. It will be AI-assisted art, but I think it will be worth it and help give better visuals to the characters and the kind of situations they're in. In some scenes, the art will be taken directly from the show to show flashbacks in later chapters, whereas more detailed art will be used to show in-story events.
So, this is a mix of good news and bad news.
The bad news is that my undiagnosed condition has been deemed severe enough that I am no longer able to work, and there are heavy restrictions on my ability to drive. As in... I essentially can't anymore.
Contractually, I can't lose my job over this. Not for at least another six months or so... I think. I have some legal protections built-in with my work, so I don't have to worry for a while. Regardless...
I hope your holiday season was enjoyable. I, unfortunately, had a hard time through most of it. Turns out I'm facing some heart troubles now, or at least a new issue that will need further testing.
Hope you like the board game Clue (or Cluedo, as we call it over here) because that's what ya getting in this chapter.
I wanted to take a break from the gloom and doom in the recent chapters, and just have a chapter or two where Meteorite is just herself. No inner monologue snippiness, no bouts of depression, just... having a good time with her friends.
...which is weird considering she's not the focal character in this chapter.
I’ve had incredible difficulty with creating my own art after suffering some medical issues these past few months. So, I had to cut a lot of corners and attempted to use Ai to assist. It could only get me so far with what I wanted, and I was able to edit what it generated to produce this version. The original generated art can be seen here:
3109927
Yeah, the images are a little messy, but it's a work in progress. What's actually up with Spitfire? Why would she be getting combat ready?
So, for those who saw on my Discord, I was working on some art for the next chapter, but during a medical appointment this afternoon, I suffered a pretty bad seizure. This one hurt worse than most of my previous episodes and lasted longer than I would have expected.
Saying that I don't know how it will affect my quality of work. Maybe it won't, or maybe the lingering effects will come and go in stronger spikes than I can predict as this last episode did.
I was wondering, given the new trend of art I've been taking on with A New Life In The Crystal Empire... There was a lot of art for CTTB that I was never able to get done. So, now I'm wondering, were there any pictures not created or scenes not illustrated any of you would like to see created?
Okay, so the holiday season is over, and it's a brand new year. With that being said, I'm back home and back to both following up with medical appointments and working on writing.
Chapter 11 is, for the most part, finished, and chapter 12 is largely fleshed out. However, so much of these two play into each other that finishing 12 required rewriting portions of 11, which worked out for the best (I did have some down time while on vacation).
