(if you want to skip my sob story, the schedule is the third image)
~<>~
I'm sure my old fans recall the last time I did scheduling for my books.
In case you didn't know, I do this a lot so I can keep track of when I should release things, what I'm planning to make, and remind myself of anything else in between. If anything, the first two attempts both failed (given either the stories kept failing, I lost motivation, or I couldn't keep up with anything while balancing school work).
I didn't realize that at the time.
Even now, I still carry the first two schedules just to remind myself how badly I failed my promises. The first was made in 2019, and as you can clearly see...
It didn't work out that great.
Only four of the planned books were ever actually made. One story, Morning, was given to a good friend of mine to write: mbrown567. Winter was turned into a dinosaur roleplay (which turned out to be the most fun roleplay I've ever had, and encouraged me to write Horns), Ghostshadow was changed into These Wounds Bleed Black, and The Last Dragon changed into Kingdoms Of Ohm.
Everything else was simply stopped/deleted (even though I still have Reign with me for safekeeping).
And that all made me feel like this:
The second was made in 2020:
Also a huge failure.
First off, the fact that I said that I'd finish These Wounds Bleed Black by mid-2021 is hilarious.
It's 2022, and I'm still going at 82 chapters.
Horns and (then) Kingdoms of Man were worked halfway through before I put all my focus into my superhero story. Kingdoms of Man was going through a finalization mid-life-crisis, although each version I made turned out to actually be incredible. The first won me three awards, the second also won me two more, but I have yet to try out this version.
Little One, Spirits, Pulse, Tales In The Forest, and Sundrop were simply concepts. I had no plans for them, and they soon ceased altogether once I finalized a group vote with you guys. While they were inevitably removed, I wanted to keep Sundrop on my list, given it served to be the accumulation of all my characters since 2013, so I kept it alive. I also liked the idea of Little One, but given Spirits and Little One have the same plot involving a powerful bird saving a tribe, I kept Little One.

Now then... with that all out of the way...
Welcome to my FINAL attempt at a reasonable book schedule.
I thought about this as hard as I could, and I cannot guarantee everything on this. I put date, times, and year marks in order, but, like I said, this is all up to whatever happens from here on out. I cannot look into the future, my life's going to go in all sorts of directions, so I can only see what happens.
The RED represent the time I hopefully expect a book to be finished. The GREEN is approximately when a new book may be introduced.
With my graduation being in 2024, I had to push Sundrop into an earlier slot of 2023. Because I'm going to write the heck out of that story.
What story are you guys looking forward to?
