Good Afternoon All,
With the summer coming to a close, camp over, etc, I can look forward to more writing in my spare time. As all should know, Volumes 1 and 2 are complete, and I have started 3. Out of the 15 Adventures in Volume 3, 3 are completed. My hope is that this semester I can have another 5 done (that's roughly one a month).
In the past, it has taken roughly 5 years to write one book, my goal is to have that down to a year and a half. The issue this time though, I have to focus on getting hired and graduating, so it's work, work, work. Let's see what happens.
For the Adventures!

Holidays!
Since this is the last day off I will have for a bit, let me have some fun and talk about holidays.
In Elementia there are only a few recognized holidays, but those that exist are especially important. The biggest holiday is Mas-Paz, or more peace. This holiday happens to fall on the same day as the Earth holiday Christmas, but is part of a multi-day celebration like Hanukkah. This event's main focus is on celebrating the joys of the year and a coming together. On the other hand, there is Forsworn Day. This one is not mentioned often in the books, however, it is a day that looks back at ones failures, the challenges of the year, the hardships one has faced, basically a day of reflection on mistakes and hardships. The exact day is not mentioned, but it is near the direct opposite portion of the year from Mas-Paz.
Beyond those two holidays, other events tend to be those of simpler "recognition" days. These are days that celebrate major events and victories, such as the defeat of Darkness or some similar event. There are many of these days available to "celebrate." With this in mind though, not everyone recognizes them, not because they do not believe in them, but because they only go for the ones that relate to their family.
Until the next time, let the elements flow...

A short update
Hello Elementalists and elemental friends,
It's been a little while so I wanted to provide all of you with a little bit of an update. So far I have revealed many different items behind the story and wanted to share a little bit of the current break down. As of right now, there are 12 planned volumes in the series. There are at least 4 major "protagonist" groups over the course of the books. Generally, the evil of each series becomes stronger, as with many series that have multiple books, however, there is also the many variations in skills that the antagonists receive as the "world" of Elementia opens up.
What I'd like to know now, is if any of you are interested in actually reading more of the adventures (remember, Adv 1 has been released in a previous post)? Also, what would you think if I was to break the adventures into pieces and have them published via a literary magazine?
Have a great journey.
