Weekly Update - 23 October 2023

Added 2023-10-23 02:00:02 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone!

This week was a pretty good one for progress—I wrote another 11,000 words on the epilogue. Less fortunately, perhaps, it's turning out to be considerably longer than I anticipated. At the beginning of the month, I thought it might come out to 15,000 words in total, but right now it's sitting at 22k and definitely still going. I'd say I'm about halfway through the last scene, and I now expect it to hit around 35k words in total.

All to say, I may not quite finish it by the end of the month. I'm going to try my best of course, but it may be closer to early November before the Early Access cycle starts. That said, whatever I've got done will of course still show up in the BIP this month as always, and at the very least, that will be most of the epilogue, so hopefully that's some consolation!

That's about it for this week; my goal is to knuckle down and keep going on this so I can get as much done before the end of the month as possible. Variation always sneaks up on me somehow, and essentially writing six different versions of this scene, with smaller variants in all of them, is perhaps predictably a pretty big project. But I'm excited to be done, and I can feel it getting closer nevertheless.

I hope you all have a great week.
