adventure friends updates

Figured this is as good a place as any to announce Adventure Friends things:

Thinking that instead of being The Obsidian King, it's The Eventide King. His mythology changes a bit, as he's merely the one that hearkens in the night of the universe, rather than the darkest foe. Which makes for some fear at what waits in the night of the universe.

Adrian is no longer a secret arcane user. He is actually a secret natural user. He has an innate ability to heal, which once he learns, he can use this to heal others. He is really good at swordplay because he's been able to learn from his mistakes instead of just dying from them.

NEW CHARACTER YO: Ty Darko is sort of a prototype character for who Adrian was going to be. She can do the timetravel shenanigans, and is actually like something of a guardian angel. The reason the Adventure Friends have never died is because she goes back in time and fixes things before they get super bad.

Nothing else for now. Thoughts???

(A Tepid Crossing is at 55,000 words right now, so I'm still writing it. Don't be afraid. I feel like it has another 10,000 left in it at least, maybe another 15,000.)

update: a tepid crossing

So, planning this thing out is really hard.

I'm moving up the official "resume" time for August. My original estimate of this book being halfway done is now outdated, I would say it's two thirds of the way done. I realized that I have to get less ambitious about this thing if I want to finish it ever. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to do a cop-out and have it end really terrible. Don't worry about that. I'm trying my hardest to make it finish the way I originally wanted it to.

Don't know if that's possible but sheesh I am going to try, ok?
