The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 13/August/2021

Another seriously enjoyable week this week!

I got seriously stuck into N's combat scene, which has been a blast! The first choice set in the scene is just a really fun moment, and I was smiling throughout the whole thing while writing it, hehe! :D

If I can't get it finished by the end of today, I definitely will be able to tomorrow. It's a much more complex scene than A's was, just because N has some pretty major moments that could happen in their research/combat scene depending o...

Monthly Bonus Content #1—Mason Version (Deep Romance)

“You can’t come in,” I splutter, covering my mouth with a tissue just before another hacking cough erupts from my sore throat.

“Why?” Mason demands from the other side of my door. “It’s not like I’m going to catch it.”

“Because it’s all so…,” I eye the pile of discarded, soggy tissues beside my bed and wrinkle my nose, “gross.”

A groan echoes from the door. “Sweetheart/Handsome, I’ve seen you in worse situations than this.”

Well, I thought I got a lot of writing done last week, but this week...whew!

I not only started A's combat scene AND FINISHED IT! But I also completed the Love Triangle section, managed to add a couple of extra bits to the Research version, and edit up the ending scene!!

Then I also managed to get a ton done towards Patreon content! This month sees Mason/Morgan looking after a sick!MC in Monthly Bonus Content #1, and we get a peek into Nate/Nat r...

[Begins Relationship]

So for you F and N-mancers, when the option to start the relationship first came up in Book Two, did you take it?

Or did you wait a while but start it quickly after that?

Or are you still holding off on starting the relationship yet?

Wow, what a week!

It felt like an intensely focused week this week! Not sure why it was that way, but it felt good :D

I think most of it was inspired by the fact that I finished A's scene waaay earlier in the week than I anticipated! That was a major boost of motivation! Though there was just one part in there where I had to take a moment 'cause I was like...

Monthly Bonus Content #2— Commanding Agent Du Mortain's Bedroom

'It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust to the darkness of the room. The curtains are drawn tight across the windows at the far end, the curtains plain and matching the rest of the room. The furniture is functional but simple. There are no decorations, plants, or paintings to brighten the light-grey-painted space.

The large bed to one side is covered in grey sheets.'

That Bit Extra—July 2021 (Spoilery...again...)

I know, I know...I'm a spoilery mess in these Bit Extra posts lately! But I can't help it :D I'm so excited for the progression of these romances! Chapter 8 can be a big turning point for a lot of MC's and their LI's.

An Extra Glimpse—July 2021

I was looking for something behind-the-scenes, and I thought you guys might enjoy seeing a little snippet from the plan for A's research version of Chapter 8...

MC maybe expecting A to be tense, but there’s a casual way about their stance. They are comfortable, relaxed, barriers down…maybe. Is it something the MC wants to test? What about their own barriers?

Some interesting scenes ahead for A and the MC... ;D

Oh man, has it been hot! Hope anyone suffering with heat is managing to stay cool and hydrated!

On Tuesday, my poor laptop had a freak out and then died on me. I couldn't touch it for a while it was so scalding hot, but as you can imagine, I was also freaking out that I had lost all my work for the day!

Thankfully, it was fine after it cooled down! It had been working since about 7:30 am, so it did good to last in the heat until then!

But I'm certainly backing things up...

Nat meets Solas...

So, I was chatting with some Wayhaven people lately, and we were talking about how Dragon Age isn't going to be at EA Play and is probably still a very long time away.

Obviously, we all said we want DA4 to be the best it can be, so we'd prefer they take longer and make it fantastic without the awful crunch that game company's can put their employees under...but maybe just a crumb of info, Bioware...please...we're begging you...lol!

M's Chapter 8 research scene is complete!

That was a really fun one to write, and I've been really eager to write a few of the key moments that popped up during this scene! :D

I changed a couple of moments when I thought of some better ones in the middle of the night earlier this week, but it was so worth it as they take the scene exactly where I wanted it to go.

I'll now be working on actually getting a quick plan up together for A's route and then getting to it! I mean, I'...

Upcoming Unseen Scene

So I have the first of the new series of Unseen Scenes coming up later today (about an hour's time if I scheduled it right)!

I just wanted to give a bit of an explanation for how it is formatted, 'cause I'm hoping it won't be too confusing!

These scenes did actually take place in Book Two, I just didn't get a chance to fit them into the book so they kind of happened 'off screen', lol. But I wanted to write them as I would have written them in the actual game, which means there's a...

Not the best week this week as I was really, really ill for a lot of it :/ 

Though it did inspire a fun scene for Patreon, that I hope you guys really enjoyed! :D

My head really wasn't up for anything intense, so once again editing was pushed back. Monday and Tuesday were a bust, even though I tried to push myself on Tuesday and it all went horribly wrong, lol. I read one of the sentences I wrote about 7 times before figuring out the words were all the wrong way round!

Focused week this week. I really wanted to get F's Chapter 8 Research version finished, which I did!

It was a bit more intensive than N's, because F is starting to have a real shift if you're not in a relationship with them, so that means writing a different version of already different versions of scene and choices in order to account for that.

Between N and F, who have the 'proper' option of being a relationship, F is definitely starting to react to if the MC doesn't want a rela...
