Less an update, more of a rant.

Funny thing about choosing to work alone is that you end up having to do everything yourself. Duh.

Looking back at my work folders I realized that, thanks to the multi-location scope of Duel of the Fates, I have four folders of the the primary settings each with anywhere from 25-40 files. That's a lot of backgrounds, and I have still have quite a number to make. Granted, some of them are actually modified perspectives of each other, but the majority are unique images. This was, surprisingly, one of the more draining processes in this whole thing. To be honest, that drain was the reason my hiatus lasted so long. The gap between Part 1 and 2 was a scant few months and I ended up wearing myself too thin. I started working on Part 3 right away but I found that I just couldn't do it. The gears in my head just wouldn't turn. So I walked away. I found myself other things to busy myself with and other passions to direct my energies to. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that people have limits and I found mine. It was a threshold that wasn't very fun to cross, but all-in-all I learned a lot more of myself and what I am capable of, so no regrets there. Well, maybe one: it's took a lot longer to finish part 3.

Anyway, thanks for reading that and you'll be glad to know that I really am back in the swing of things. The very spark that made want to undertake this project in the first place is back and I can feel the passion and amazement I get whenever something comes out looking perfect again. So things really are back on schedule now.
