Update #7: Mid-April Update

4/16/25

Hey y'all,

I've updated my plans going forward. As you probably already know, my schedule is being pushed back a little. Now I know how much.

I'm going to give myself some time to breathe.

What started as a few weeks off has now almost been a month. I keep trying to work and focus, but it's not coming naturally right now. I'm sure if I force myself into it I'll get inspired again, but that's not how I want to go about this.

From the start I've hoped and prayed these books would turn into something bigger, and they still might! It's too early to throw in the towel. But I have a lot of things to figure out right now too. Most importantly, what it is I want to do for my career. (While I'd love to bet on it right here and now, I need to have a backup plan.)

I'll keep those decisions personal, but it's a long process ahead of me. As such, my books will need to take a step back. I want to write again real soon, but not because I have to, but because I want to.

As such, Origins II is going to be pushed back a few months. Right now I'm thinking of a June release date, then Foundations II will come six months later in December.

Unfortunetelly, this means I wont have a book releasing on Worlf of Ngash's anniversary, so I'm working out an alternative. I have an idea in mind, but I'm still thinking it all through.

It's not just my books that have to go on the back-burner, these blogs will have to as well. That's probably understandable. I want to get back into writing books, not blogs. This is complementary to the books, not the other way around.

So to summarize the main points: Origins II will now have a tentative June release date and Foundations II a tentative December release. After that, I have some plans to get this work off the ground sooner, that means Demise will get pushed back even further as well.

I'm sure everything will work out eventually, I just need some time right now, and smothering myself with this extra work isn't helping. I'm struggling enough with motivation in my normal life, and this hobby is feeling too suffocating with the pressure I put on it.

Everything is going well though on my end, just got a lot to figure out.

Wishing you all the best!
