I wanted everyone to know that I'm still alive and well.  I haven't had a chance to do much here on DA.  In fact, I have well over 10,000 deviations in my watch box that I have yet to look at.  I apologize for that.  

For those of you who are wondering if I'll ever write fanfiction again, I'm going to go ahead and finish The Spirit of Adian.  I won't post an update until I have completed all 3 or 4 chapters, so then I can update everyday until the conclusion and it won't go into hiatus again.  When will this happen?  I'm giving myself a 2 month deadline.  The only reason I've decided to finish it is because it's so close to the end.  I still have no idea what to say about To Catch a Sparrow right now.  Sadly, it's still on total hiatus for now.

As for my novel(s), I'm calling it the Higher Elements series.  The first one will be called When it Rains.  I've already designed the book cover, but don't  intend on sharing it until I've completed the novel.  I've grown fond of the idea of making Adian more Indian in nationality than Japanese.  I'm thinking I want his father to be from India and his mother to be European.  I'm not changing his appearance though.  His parents' appearances would change significantly however.  Onasisk will probably be a little older than 600 years old.  I'm not too keen on saying he was born in the Christopher Columbus era.  The time just doesn't fit him.  I would rather make him born in the Gaulish/Vercengetorix(sp) period as a druid.  Anyway, I'll be making my own website to promote and sell this series.  If you've done art work for it and would like your art included on the website, please let me know!  Of course I would give full credit to you and link to your home site or Deviant Art page.

It's very late and I'm very sleepy, so I'm closing for now.  I will try my best to get around to looking at everyone's deviations.  I'm sorry again for the solitude.  Have a great weekend! ^_^
