Weekly Update - 23.01.23

Hello all!

Here we are, rounding the bend into the last stretch of January. As usual, I can't decide whether I think this has gone by entirely too quickly or entirely too slowly. Sometimes it manages to feel like both at the same time.

Anyway! As of this writing, Chapter Eight is up to 44,000 words, so I've written 29,000 on the month. Considering I've still got a week left to go in it, I'm pretty happy with this. I won't quite get up to 45k in total for January, I don't think, but I should arrive fairly close, and considering a few unexpected curveballs to my schedule I've had this month, that's pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

In terms of where the chapter is actually at, I have moved into the very last portion of the PC's talk with their RO/PO, at which point I'll be transitioning into the plottier part of the chapter, though not without a few touches here and there of the slice-of-life stuff I like to slip in where I can. 

As most of you know, the main subject of the plot in this part is the Orpheus and Eurydice story, and of course it's so well known that as I get close to actually writing it, I'm quite nervous about doing it justice heh. Still, I'll move through it as I can, and try to put a FoA twist on it, and hope it comes out well. 

Sometime this week I'll be putting out a Moirae's Mirror, though I'm not yet sure what it will be about. It may not necessarily be on Wednesday, as I have a few extra things to do this week that are shuffling my schedule around a bit, but it'll definitely be out before the next weekly update, so I hope those of you who get it will look forward to it. 

And, as always, I hope you're all taking care of yourselves and doing well. It's the height of summer where I am, so I'm trying not to melt into a puddle. Sometimes, self-care is a high-speed fan blowing air on you from a foot away.
