As of today, my first physical pass of Eternity’s Irys is now complete. I intend to do one more with a softcover copy before calling it 100% complete. I would say we are at the 80% mark.

Things still in the works:
-Mandala artist’s credit
-Cover art
-Super Secret Extra Project
-Illustrator credit

I’m still aiming for an official release in June, but with all the work I’m putting on my illustrator, that might be changing. I’m willing to push it all back to make it perfect and I think between the two of us, it will be.

I may have mentioned a Valentines Day project. As of right now that’s been scrapped in favor of the Super Secret Extra Project. I’m very excited about it and I believe it’s the lux treatment Eternity’s Irys deserves.

I truly believe that Eternity’s Irys is nearing the end of its journey to be the best version of itself it can be.

After the paperback pass, it’ll probably be shelved until my illustrator can tackle their work and boy do they have a lot of it. In the meantime, I plan on trying to source some fun little merch things like pins and stickers! Might be a good time to learn how to use my Cricut 🤔

After his amazing work with the holiday piece, Rhett Cameron Morris has officially been hired as both cover artist and illustrator. He has a lot on his plate, but I know he’ll pull it all off.

With all that said, I believe that concludes this little update. Consider the publish date malleable, but everyone will be kept updated on that situation as I’m lowkey considering planning a party around it.

Did I say party? Yes. Yes I did. I would really like to do a release party sometime this year. How I’ll do it, or even afford it, I have absolutely no idea, but there has to be a way to do something like this on a budget. To the drawing board!

Until next time o/
