Hello, lovelies! :D

Thank you all for your pledges so far <3 It means and helps a whole lot!

The SPIKE story is making good, steady progress :) The plot thickens..! O3O And it's a really exciting and fun story for me to work on right now, I just can't wait to finish it so you guys can read it >u< I am so curious to see/hear your reactions after reading the whole thing I can hardly contain myself ;) I wanna spoil stuff! D:
But I can't, I have to finish the whole thing and let you guys figure it all out as you read it, so that's actually motivating me even more to finish writing it! :)

Also, looks like this year will be a busier year for me than last year, so I am starting to notice that November isn't that far away. No worries though, I am still set on my goal and sure to reach it and finish in time. This just means I am focusing more on the novel and making it a bigger priority than it already was. I write as often as I can, and I don't let any inspiration or ideas go to waste; if I feel like writing, I write, no matter what, when or where ;) My big-ass notebook (pardon my French) is getting pretty short on the blank pages now, which is a good sign :D
I'm using scrivener a lot too as well as writing digital documents AND drawing and doodling visual notes. Gosh I have so much art I can't show you yet ;__;
I have some spoiler-free ones though that I will remind myself to upload in a Patreon post this week, as well as see if I can make room for another livestream session. I love streaming with you guys, honestly I do, so I would like to do that more often. I hope my personal schedule allows me to :)

Cause, writing and planning and mapping and all that jazz, is taking up a whole lot of time. In the most positive way though :D But it is causing me to be very inactive online as I use my computer mainly for novel-related stuffs now. So replies, posts, updates and whatnot are slow, but for very positive reasons. I just hope it doesn't look like I'm neglecting you guys though..

Gosh, SPIKE is the hardest secret I've ever had to keep XD There are some times it has been too hard for me to keep all of the plot secrets and I've leaked a few to my closest friends and to my partner, but the largest ones are so far known only to me and will probably remain so until the book is released / published (hopefully yes plz do want). So that's my burden of being a writer of a story that ended on a cliffhanger XD and is also just this massive series of cliffhangers :B lol..  Hopefully each one will be a page-turner and I hope the story will be as exciting for you guys to read as it is for me to write.

Freakin' over a decade in the making! But I think it'll all be worth it :) The story needed time, and I needed to mature enough to see it the way it needed to be seen and understand the depts of it thoroughly, you know? I dunno how to elaborate that in a way that makes sense XD

But yeah...

It'll be finished by November :)

And as Bayne pointed out actually; Spike's birthday is in November (November 11th 1983), so it would be extra special if I finished his story in time for his . . . *counts* . . . 34th birthday. Oh snap! Spike, you old! XD <3

But yeah, so.. I guess that's it for this week's update?

Also this is random as fuq, but I have considered video blogging. Vlogging? Whatever you crazy kids call it nowadays ;) <3 jk, I'm not that old just yet XD just stay offa my lawn and we'll all get along just fine.. ;p jk
Jokes aside, would something like that interest you at all? :) Also I don't think it would distract from the novel writing schedule, I wouldn't allow it to at this point to be honest XD But my mind works in the way that is HAS to keep busy with SOMETHING. So if I've been, say, writing for four hours and my brain is tired, it won't let me rest or sleep, it'll be more like "aw man I'm beat.. Hey, let's go draw something! Or pick up a new hobby! Ooh, or read about neuroplasticy or ooh, how about that thing, that sciency thing you always wanted to learn about! Or no, wait, let's go sculpt something! Or, ooh, new idea!" etc... No rest :B but I love learning and trying out stuff so 's all good.. >u>

I'll stop rambling now XD

But thanks again for all your support! Seriously, you guys all mean so much to me <3 ;u;

I hope everything is well with you all, stay awesome and I'll see ya soon ^u^

*group hug*
