I got a new notebook and pen set specifically just for working on Chumbler stuff today! I got a new notebook specifically for RS as well recently; new notebooks and pens are very motivational for my writing.
I'm feeling inspired to work on Chumbler cuz of some fall anime that made me think "Oh man I wanna write specifically this style with a doofy character doing slice of life stuff WAIT I HAVE THAT I CAN DO THAT." Right now I'm thinking this will either be new Chumbler chapters like the current stuff as monthly Rising Shards in Volume 3 or if it gets really big and becomes a lot of content I think 2022 will be Chumbler's time for her own real, true, gambling focused spinoff... 🥳🥳🥳

Writing in my Hobonichi Techo gives me like 1000% more inspiration thatn writing notes on a PC. I don't know what it is, but notebooks just work.
There's something just so...I don't know what it is about physical notebooks but they feel *powerful*! I had a teacher tell me the brain remembers things easier when written out by hand versus on a computer so maybe it has something to do with that...
POWERFUL MWAHAHAHA LOL
Had the wrong time on today's chapter on the schedule, sorry for the delay!

So this month was like REALLY big for RS; the series had its biggest month by far for views, likes, and comments! So THANK YOU to all the readers, whether you're a new subscriber or you've been here from the start, for such a great month!!
We're coming up on the 1 year anniversary too and I have some fun stuff planned, including a character Q&A that I'm already getting some awesome questions for, if you have any questions you want answered by the Rising Shards cast comment em here or on a chapter in the story! :)
Thank you all so much again, it really means the world to me!

Amazing!!! :D Let's keep growing, I say. Maybe we'll reach 1K by the end of the year.
And one more question, please; Zeta, Stella, where are your parents?

I've been lazy about promoting this (lazy as in not doing anything at all) but I got final art for Exile Rebirth from the fantastic artist Harlupin (support them here: https://www.instagram.com/harlupin/?hl=en) and it looks SO good and I'm so happy with how it turned out! It's the coolest drawn bloodsaber I've gotten so far.
I'm also doing a slight rename for this series, the last few years of working on it I've just been calling it Versus, hoping to get a second word in there for that IDK that Star Wars-y feel, but for now I'm just gonna make Versus the main title and whatever so it's Versus: The Exile Rebirth. It takes a while to have changes show up so it probably isn't on there yet:
https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/story/B096ZT36YT?fbclid=IwAR0ExOnS6Sh_SiXHJozdtdwaqNZV-GW2Yyhx8aCg5ZcGHD5nzA5akXcxFso
So far Vella is...to put it diplomatically, frustrating? It's hard to put a lot of work into a series on a site that's still feeling like it's in alpha. The missing features like not being able to easily tinker with chapters can be incredibly grating and not to my style. I feel like if Vella was more like Tapas, I'd be more invested, but it's been a slow, discouraging start.
I realize the site's still new so I really should just be patient, but this art is so fantastic I don't wanna let the artist's hard work down and because of that I want the story to flourish!!
If it doesn't pay off on Vella, I definitely want to find a way to get it up on here. It's a story I'm really proud of, and I really want to get to upcoming stuff in the plot that I've been daydreaming about for so long.

Looking good, I have to say, and the new icon pic too!
Thank you!! :D The new icon is a commision from this artist: https://ko-fi.com/denisemuriel
im rooting for you 😆
Today in "things that make sense in my head," I decided to put up a short story on Vocal as a test thing. With Vella being kinda nonexistent right now, part of me still wants to explore the outskirts of the Rising Shards universe more thoroughly, and get really experimental with it even more than in Friday Fangs.
So if this gets some attention I got lots of ideas for more stories. If this doesn't get a lot of traction, I'll probably put a hold on my "write lots of stories that may or may not be interconnected on this story website that isn't at all built for web serials because I wanna try some new writerly things but 99.999% of the time only finish and enjoy writing stuff that's in the RS universe" plan and maybe upload it on a Ko-Fi page or a short story collection on here *or* some kind of longer story if it ends up like that. I'm rambling now.
Like Exile Rebirth, this isn't something that's required reading for RS, and if it ever is I'll just upload it on here or have stuff within the RS story for it. So if you wanna read me doing some scifi action drama in the far off reaches of the RS universe check it out here!
