November blog + Novae Q+A

It's been a while since we did one of these, we've just been so dang busy!
Fall has fully settled into our little nook in Colorado. As I type this, I'm sipping on a hot mug of vanilla rooibos tea. What are some of your favorite hot drinks to enjoy when it gets chilly? I also make a mean lavender tea latte with honey, and I've been trying to find a good recipe for golden milk.
Lately we've been trying to find time to slow down and enjoy the smaller things in life. I always feel a little contemplative in the cold months so I've been going on walks and taking in my surroundings.
(I love how these little beads of water reflect the blue sky.)
To add a little adventure to my walks, I've been tracking down all the little libraries I can. We found this gem the other day.
It even has a little dragon with a crystal on display in the roof.
I've also been teaching myself the lyre harp. It's quite calming and has such a light mystical sound.
(I think Woo Woo likes it too. Also, I don't know if I've ever shown my left thumb but I have Brachydactyly type D, which essentially means a short, toe-like, thumb. π)
All this has helped us get into the writing mood for the last chapter of this Novae arc. We already wrote the first draft, but we'll be going into the script today to polish it up and make sure this arc wraps up nicely. That said, we would super appreciate it if you all could tell us what questions you have about this arc! π This could be anything from what you've been confused about to things you are curious about! We'd love to know, and we'll do our best to make sure we address them in the story, or here in the comment section! So let loose! Ask your most pressing questions! β¨
It's been so long since Raz and Sulvain have been together but you all have stuck around for the story anyway, and that means a heck of a lot to us. As far as where the story is headed, things have to get worse before they get better, but they will get better. So much better. Thank you all so much for being our patrons while the story has been so painful. And thank you all for leaving the most thoughtful kindest comments on the pages! We truly feel blessed to have readers like you all!
Did you know Granted and Brei, the wonderful mods of the fan run Novae discord run an event called Novaember every year? Anything you make related to Novae can be tagged for the event and added to the bingo card. We get to see and read most beautiful art and prose every year and it fills our hearts to the brim. (We would love to participate in the event before it ends too!)
For the rest of the month we'll be working on a cover for the next chapter, new pages will follow soon after that. We also just put in the order for stickers so we should be able to send out constellation rewards soon! A new bonus page for Star Cluster patrons and above will be out later today as well. We plan on doing a least a 1-2 more before the month ends.
Welp! I better get back to editing the next chapter! We're so thrilled to finally get here and show you all what we've been planning for nearly a decade!
Until the next post, with much love and appreciation,
Kate β€οΈ

Thank you Missiek!! πππ Next time you're in Colorado let us know, we'd love to get lunch! π We'll definitely let you all know when we plan on going to a con! We've been waiting to go until we have a book to sell, so perhaps the end of next year or beginning of 2025. we'll let you know the more we know. :D I think you may have seen the answers for your questions in the Q+A on webtoon, but since we are on patreon we can let you know how old Sulvain is. β¨π He was born in 1020 and in 1673 when he meets Raziol he is 653. :o

It's been a fantastic and beautiful story so far. Thank up so much for bringing it into the universe! π It's lovely to see what little "glimmers" catch your eye in the day and it's inspiring for me to continue to look for mine. Novae has been one of those special "glimmers" ever since I started my journey with this story. Thank you for all you both do!!

Thank you so much for the peek into your life, Kate! I just love the water droplet photo, so beautiful!! I have been to Colorado a few times (my grandparents are from there and buried near Denver). It's so pretty. If you decide to attend a comicon or other event one day, please let us know so we can make plans to come see you!! I have, as most have said, so many questions but they will be solved within the story in time I am sure. But one that may be answerable is: is Sulvain and those chosen to be necromancers also magoi? Or can the craft and welding ligelumes be taught? If his Master was the one to bring him to that healing pool, why did Hargrave said he "necromanced himself"? Will we be introduced to his Master? How old is Sulvain, exactly? Will we learn more about the Morgana Faction? If they are fae and not human, are there other beings (like the Morgana) that resemble humans, but are their own species?
