Bro have you tried using your brain?

When What Happened to the Heart came out I was like "Eh?" cuz I like barely listened to it and just wasn't in the mood for it.

Now I realized I was unfamiliar with its game. This album goes hard as hell. Literally probably Aurora's best album like this slaps tremendously

So, I have been doing a lot of thinking. I think I need to take a little break from Starlight. It isn't up to the quality that I need it to be, and there is a lot more work to be done.

I've gotten 2k views on my Star Wars novella I wrote on royal road!

If you haven't checked it out, you shoukd! It is a project that I am insanely proud of. I grew a lot as a writer making this story.

I've got good news and I've got bad news.

The good news is that the quality (and length) of Starlight is about to increase dramatically imo

The bad news is that it is going to take me longer to do that. I may have to postpone the next chapter, as I need much more time at the drawing board rn

I am stepping things up with Part 3. This is no longer just one small part of a big story. I am going to try and make each part a story within itself.
May 8, 2025 at 3:29 PM
Fair warning for the future:

I am not sure when, but Part 2: It Has Begun will probably recieve huge reworks at some point, including maybe even changing the part and chapter names.

I do think It Has Begun is good, but I want it to be great and there are parts of it that need work. #starlight

Chapter 8 of #Starlight will be posted TONIGHT at 5:06 CST!

Taking a bit of time to work on something very important to me to help me deal with some trauma. I will hopefully finish up the next chapter at some point soon, then we'll go to the weekly thing. I want to give myself some time to really work through this though. Its a lot.

I don't think I am going to be able to release the next chapter today. It is almost done, but I am having a lot of issues with my mental health today. After I finish part 2, I will be going down to one chapter a week to give me some room to catch up and get ahead and not burn out.
April 29, 2025 at 5:30 PM
The end of part 2 is like the end of act 1. So, the next chapter is gonna be like a big set up for the rest of the book. I am super super excited to post it! I will probably start going hard spreading it around after that. Or after the writathon since I might get overshadowed by that
April 27, 2025 at 1:07 PM
Might be delayed on today's chapter. My little break after writing ebery day through me off and now getting into a routine is hard
April 25, 2025 at 7:56 PM
Through the years, I've always had an issue with suddenly thinking back to a mistake I made and cringing really hard. I still have that happen today sometimes, but every time it does I just remind myself "and I learned from it." It has done wonders for my confidence.
April 25, 2025 at 2:33 PM
New chapter of #starlight will be posted tonight at 5:06 PM CST!!!

I just have to do a little bit of editing to make sure it is ready! I am excited for this one. There will be action!
April 22, 2025 at 3:12 PM
I think I am now going to officially announce my plans for the schedule.

New chapters of Starlight will be posted every Tuesday and Friday at around 5:06 CST

New cover art by Insaneption now up on Royal Road!

I have added chapter names! No longer will these chapters be merely basic numbers

Each of the chapter names are inspired by lyrics of the Starset songs that each part is named after. So the chapters in Waking Up are named after Waking Up lyrics and so on so forth. #starlight

I've made the decision to pull back on how hard I have been pressuring myself. This may mean that I don't complete the writathon this time around, but thats fine.

Instead, I'm going to go ahead and lock in a schedule and stick to it. It will be biweekly. Once the schedule if finalized, I will post!
April 19, 2025 at 1:27 PM
Imma be real, me completing the writathon at this point is questionable at best. I'll have to fully lock in every day for the remainder of it and I've already proven that that is difficult for me. I'm definitelt pushing myself harder than ever right now and I am feeling the effects
April 18, 2025 at 12:53 PM
Also, I have an ear infection. And it hurts. So, I may slow down slightly the next few days. But I am trying my best!
April 18, 2025 at 1:53 AM
Chapter 5 is rewritten and reposted! I think I really fixed the issues. It is almost entirely different by the way, so if you read chapter 5 before today I highly recommend rereading it before chapter 6 comes out!

Doing this actually helped me contextualize the main characters of Starlight SO much. It really helped me flesh out their character arcs and their motivations.

I'm gonna be real, rewriting this scene is taking a lot out of me. It is a lot more emotionally charged than I thought it would be. Which is good, but I need to finish it tomorrow with more sleep and good vibes under me.
