The Book of the Shadows

First Sun Saga also had some good work this year in fleshing out the broader story. I terms of completed chapters it is in the same place as Third Moon. In terms of development of story ideas it is probably a little further ahead most simply because I at least know which of the Two-Six will appear and when. However, it has seen far less in terms of actual composition of story fragments, and I do not yet know how First Sun will end. It has become a fairly large story but it will be hard to figure out just how to wrap it all up. Third Moon by comparison has far fewer characters to worry about over the course of its story, and the options for an ending are much more limited given the events that are to play out.

Greetings to everyone, and welcome to State of the Realm 2013. I am grateful for everyone who is reading this address. This is the first new address I’ve furnished which has been released firstly via a method other than face-to-face discussion, or delayed reading by a typed document. I will get into that more in a moment.

And so, continuing from yesterday, here is the rest of the State of the Realm address from last year, 2012. Tomorrow will be the new report for 2013. Now, the rest of the report;

The next two days will be spent on the State of the Realm report from last year. If you read the one from last week then you'll understand what it's all about. This one, thankfully, is much shorter and an easier read. So, here goes;

And here we go with the final piece of the 2011 report on the SoTR. See these final thoughts on the BotS at the close of 2011, and look forward to my thoughts next week on 2012 and 2013. So, picking up where we left off...

And so, the report. To continue from where we left of yesterday, here is part two of the full 2011 SoTR report. 

Welcome to a special series. I call it "State of the Realm". Over the next couple weeks I will share my SoTR report, a reflection over my actions and accomplishments in working with my Book of the Shadows series.

So I have a little housekeeping to do today. It'll be a brief post this last week of posts for the year 2013.
