I can't believe that it's been so long since I wrote another journal entry! Two years doesn't seem like that long ago, but time flies when you're kept busy. ^_^


Anyway, I wanted to bring up one thing in particular with this new entry. That being I'm going to revise earlier chapters A Wish Full of Dreams and post them here in the coming months. I've posted them on other sites in the past, but I'm planning on uploading them on dA, as well.


Originally, when I wrote those earlier chapters years ago, I didn't envision the world that would spring up from them. They were about Tyson and his guardian spirit Trace. In the years that followed, this story began to encompass not only Tyson's journey to find his lost friend, Daeja, but a much larger world with a much larger cast and MANY more moving parts. In fact, most of what you see on this page directly grew out of that short story I wrote so many years ago.


However, I feel like there's a disconnect between what I wrote back then and what the story grew into years later. In order to rectify this, I felt it necessary to revise those earlier chapter to reflect the narrative I now want to tell. With this in mind, I plan on starting from the very beginning to smooth over whatever wrinkles I find. That way the story I present is more in line with the world that I've come to love exploring.


So if you're at all curious, I plan to start revising some time soon, and you should see more from me in that regard in the coming months!


Thank you so much for reading all this weird stuff! ^-^

It's crazy to think it's been nine months since I last posted a journal entry, but to be honest, there wasn't much to discuss. Although, now things are much different! ^^

For one, I've changed the title to my furry writing project. It's now called A Wish Full of Dreams.

For a long time, I wasn't terribly satisfied with its name or a couple chapters I'd since posted. I don't want to reach a point where I'm constantly rewriting old content, but now I can say that I'm very happy with how my characters are portrayed. Also, to be honest, I wanted to make sure I didn't inadvertently cause any plotholes later down the road. >.>

Anyway, now that I've got everything in order, I'm hoping to finish up in the near future! ^_^

You can read the whole story so far on my Penana page:

Hey y'all! It's been some time since I've posted an update, so I figure now's the best time. ^_^ 

Now that it's 2019, I've got a few goals pertaining to my projects I'd like to manifest throughout the year! For one, I've been posting more than I have in the past, and I want to keep that up for the most part. I've got about six commissions in the pipeline as of this writing, and that doesn't include character sheets. I've got a few of them posted elsewhere, but I didn't want to post them here until I began commissioning sheets featuring the main cast of characters from In the Shadow of Your Horns

The first of which should arrive before the end of February. ^^ 

Also, my goal is to finish Tyson and Trace's origin story by year's end. I'm thinking that should be fairly easy for me to accomplish since it's not far from completion. It's just been so much material to maintain. However, the project has helped me grow as a writer. At least, that's my assessment as of now. For all I know, very little has changed, and I'm merely delusional. What else is new though? XD

Anyway, if you're at all interested in checking out the whole story thus far, you can read it by clicking on the link below:

Most, if not all, of the art I post here is directly related to that above story. So if you're curious about anything I've submitted and how it all fits together, that may help give you the appropriate context. :-)

I just wanted to update anyone who's interested that I have uploaded the 11th addition of In the Shadow of Your Horns to my Penana page! You can read it here:

Although, if you've seen this image already, it's the corresponding short story to "The Weapon They Fear":

The Weapon They Fear by nazcapilot

I just posted it in accordance to where it would best fall in the overall narrative.

I had about 5,000 words worth of a draft for the second half of "Lamentations of an Icarus - Part V", but instead, I reached a decision wherein that portion would be best served as most of Part VII. I'm hoping to have Part VI online within a month. Honestly, I'd prefer to post at least one chapter every month. That's my goal for the moment. 

Ultimately, I may even change the name of their entire story at some point soon; but until then I will keep the name.

Also, I'd like to note that I should have four more pieces from :iconshadowpantherkat: by year's end; but I'd like to get more art from other artists in the meantime. In the end, I'd like to get some character sheets of the principle cast. That will take some time, but I know it'll be cool to have that realized!

Anyway, that's all I've got to say for now. Thank you so very much for listening to me ramble this long. I hope you all have a great day. ^_^

I realized that my post was a little too somber for my liking, so I came to change that. ^_^

I just wanted to confirm that I'm here, and I plan on resuming work on my projects starting today. ^^

Specifically, they include Tyson and Trace's story, In the Shadow of Your Horns, as found on my Penana page:
www.penana.com/user/1057/nazca…

I still have a half-dozen art pieces coming detailing characters and events therein, so it'll be cool to show them once they're done! 

Also, if I remain productive, I'd like to get a draft of my first novel done by year's end. Aside from that, there's not much else to report. I just felt like sharing news. :-)

With that said, I hope you all have a great summer! :-D
