#1 Update Hello everyone! I've been working hard on IDiL: Eclipse and the story's return to IDiL. I've been doing it even before the 2nd anniversary hit, and I would like to share to you guys the progress! I have PLENTY (I think) of updates to share to you guys, but there is only one thing that I can reveal for now. :p The only thing I have to reveal for now is that I completed the full Eclipse outline! It's printed out and all and fully confirmed, and I will try my best not to change my mind the week after and redo the entire outline. But yes, the outline is complete - with the beginning, middle, and end of Eclipse all mapped out and ready to be written! I'm glad I have it finished, because I've been working on it for months now, oof. :p But even while writing the outline, I already began writing the book itself (yes I'm redoing it again, that's what us writers do). I have most of the beginning finished, and there is only a couple of chapters left until I get to the middle part of the story! :D According to how much that is currently written, there are 37,189 words! Also, about the new character references: I made awesome progress on it. I'm redesigning every character in Eclipse (with maybe some new characters as well >:>). I started from Birch and every character introduced in order. Currently making Aether's character design right now! Also, another update: I've been mind-mapping how IDiL's chapters will be set up when they come out! I have some stuff drawn/written out, but I don't have a clear understanding on how the chapter designs will look...yet. But I am going to do this: I will write all of Eclipse BEFORE releasing the chapters on here. That way I won't be so slow like a snail to sharing the chapters. In fact, I need to add something on my school and daily schedules for a specific time to releasing the chapters. I'm slow :/ But for now, this is all I have to announce! I guarantee that there is a lot more I have to share in the future. But there are no promises to the next update - but I need to promise myself that I need to be quick to releasing the next one. :^ Music: Marcus Warner - Tokyo Rain
