Weekly Update - 15 May 2023
Added 2023-05-15 02:00:59 +0000 UTCHello all!
I've had a pretty eventful week, I must admit. Perhaps the biggest piece of news is that the last chapter of my other project (Diaspora) just saw public release, so I'm waiting for the inevitable flood of bug reports and so on, and am sure to be busy with those, on top of my short-term study projects, and of course FoA.
But I'm still making pretty good progress! Chapter Nine is now up to 23,000 words, 12,000 more than last week. It's not quite as fast as I usually go, admittedly, but it's close, and until this study term ends, it might be about what I can manage. There's also the fact that I'm trying to find somewhere to live and all of that, so overall I'm quite happy with how things are going.
I'm into the second scene in the chapter right now, where the PC reunites with Demeter in rather unexpected circumstances. Needless to say, there are a lot of variations in how this can go, because the PC's relationship with her can be anything from great to extremely fraught. So this one may take some more getting through than the first, but it's interesting to be writing her again at this juncture, and getting into the weeds of ways the PC may have changed. I'm realizing I'm going to need new variables for things, though I may put some of that off until the editing stage of things and just keep trying to write forward for now.
Anyhow, that's me for this week. I hope you're all doing really well. :)
