Weekly Update - 07.04.22

Hello everyone. Tis July, and I am baking. 

Though eventually I will be complaining about the opposite! As some of you are aware, if you follow updates on tumblr, I am indeed moving internationally next month, and in the process I will be swapping hemispheres (I am, in fact, moving to Australia). This has been in the works for a while; my grandmother lives there, and I might be able to properly afford necessary healthcare in a country not beholden to the private insurance industry. 

Anyway, all this to say that, because I don't know exactly how much writing I'll be able to get done then, I'm going to try and up my word count this month to compensate. So far, so good on that, but the final result remains to be seen. 

I'm not sure exactly how far I'll push in the chapter this time, but I do hope to have the whole thing finished relatively soon, maybe September sometime if I'm lucky. It's always very hard to tell exactly how many words there are going to be in any given chapter, even when the outlines are complete, which I must admit this time they are not. There's big chunks in there of like "this is where this scene happens" and not much about the actual scene yet haha. 

But hopefully that'll all shake out in the coming days. In any case, a somewhat-ironic Happy Independence Day to the U.S. Americans among you, and I'll be back next week with further progress updates. In the meantime, on Wednesday there will be for some of you a bonus content; I've taken a month off from the habit of building FoA characters in Pathfinder to write a bonus scene between Daeira and Empusa, expanding on their relationship a little bit and giving some insight as to developments going on "behind the scenes" in the plot, as it were. 

I hope you all have a great month. :)
