Progress Report

2k Words today!

And what a nice round number that is. I swear it wasn't on purpose. 

This week has been a really productive one. I managed to write every single day, and I had a lot of fun doing it — which is obvious by the obnoxious amount of times I posted here this week. It's just that when I'm excited, I need to talk about it when someone, and since no one in my real life really cares about the Rose, I shall have to come to yell on Patreon instead. 😄 I understand if you're a bit tired of me this week, but it does stem from good progress!!!!!!

And progress is what I'd like to talk about. I'm at a part where it seems like I'm rowing with all my might in a river whose current matches my strength to an unsettling precision. That is to say, I'm writing and writing, but since there's so much variation, I've been"stuck" in the same notebook page for the last two days.

The culprit is, of course, dialogue. Different versions depending on your choices, on whether you're romancing Hadrian or Alessa, whether you broke up with them, whether you killed a certain... Devil's guardian, etc. As I said above, it has been a lot of fun. There are some passages that I really can't wait for people to read xD But, at the same time, it can be a little demotivating when I look down and realize that, plot-wise, I'm not advancing as much as I'd like.

I said my goal was to reach the middle of scene three, and I'm sad to say I didn't make it. I underestimated how long (and time-consuming) some of the parts are taking. But look, I'm almost done with this current deviation!

Almost all the bullet points are crossed, which means I'm almost to the point where the affluents converge, and the current shall take on a gentler tide.

That's the goal for next week! Get to the shallow waters and then plunge head-first into the halfway mark of scene three.

Thank you, as always, for all your patience and support. Thank you, also, to all of you who commented on the Q&A submissions! I have so much material that I'll probably save some of those for future scenarios since I want to expand on them!

Have a great weekend! May rolls gently onwards, dragging lazy summer in its clutches. ♡
