While dealing with the death of my mother, who was a big supported of my Blood Moon works, getting back to it proved to be a challenge. Every time I thought of getting back to it, it would hurt too much and all urge to would die. 

Weeks after her passing, my mind kept straying to my writing and other stuff I could work on. My body wanted to get back to what I love doing, as well as the promise I'd made to her years ago about how I'd make it big one day so she could retire in comfort. That sure isn't going to happen if I can't get anything done. 
So while my main series was still a touchy subject, my mind would tiptoe around other projects that I've had written out for...ever. However, I still came up against one roadblock: 

My brain doesn't want to work on other stuff while still 'submerged' in the Shadow world
(the name of the overall world theme in my BM series)

I would try for a few days to nitpick at other stuff, but it just wasn't happening. Not until I finally came to the offshoot series' to the main books - then my brain lit up like a damn Christmas tree. 

SO

I finally have the workings in order for Crimson Sin* and Rift Hoppers*; the details more flushed out than they were before, all the notes in better order and put together instead of scattered everywhere. 

+++++

Of course while doing this I ended up straying (because while doing all this I've been reading comics on Webtoon, daydreaming about getting my work put into a graphic novel one day) and talking to a friend about what all goes in to commissions and what is needed. It landed me back at the character sheets I'd made up ((which can be found in my Character Creation book btw)), to the ones I'd made up for Kie (Blood Moon Series MC) especially as she was the one I was talking about. Which also brings me -finally- to the point of this page; 

The Character Sheets - 

- Human ✔
- Were-Animal ✔
- Vampire ✔
- Shifter ✔
- Witch ✔

Need to be gone through, fixed and revised. 
Since these were originally made up with my books/world in mind, the Were-Animal, Vampire, and Shifter have multiple sections. The Vampire and Shifter have a 'Human' and 'Animal' form, whereas the Were-Animal has the most; having 'Human', 'Were', and 'Animal'.
The Human and Witch Sheets just have 'Human' forms 

In doing up the MC's new ones for my BM Series I have the blueprints for the new Vampire and Were-Animal, just have to get them copied over

❄️ Crimson Sin - Is a modern branch-off about a gang that gets introduced in the main series. 
These aren't your common day end of the block petty thieves, they are a major crime syndicate that is made up of Were-Animals. With all it's proven members given the tag names of demons, devils, or fallen angels, they're ruled by a hierarchy, with the next level up being six of the Seven Sins. They are who are most known, the most notorious, the faces of the crew. 
The Seventh Sin, Pride, or Lucifer as he's also named, is the leader of Crimson Sin. When you have advisors named after the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, not too many are willing to mess with you, especially if they have reputations to fit those titles.  

❄️ Rift Hoppers - Is a future branch-off from the main series about a group of kids, friends, who get together and go on Adventures. Simple, yeah? What if I said that this takes place about 5-6 years ahead from where the Blood Moon MC's are right now, after something major happens, which enables this group to be able to go through gateways to different dimensions? And that one of those kids is the adopted son of one of the very, very protective MC's in the BM series? And that he himself, has no special abilities. He's just a squishy human in a world full of monsters. But he's with friends though, right?
