Now I've got my graphics tablet set up SO much better, I am trying to get back to sketching more. And obviously, because I am obsessed, it's nearly always Wayhaven related, hehe :D
Ended up sketching a bit of Douglas. He can possibly have a bit of a change in Book Three depending on choices, so you're getting a bit of a sneak peek for that! Plus, I've never really had much chance to sketch him before.

So much love happening right now!

Got through editing Chapter One on Moday and Tuesday! Playing it as a whole chapter seriously spurred me on. It's been quite broken up as I've been writing as there was SO much variation and split scenes that I was worried it wouldn't flow. But playing it through, I am beyond happy with how it's come out!!
I also managed to catch a few annoying bugs, mostly to do with the love triangle friend subroutine (now fixed) and the way I had d...

It's really hard to get a sense of how the flow will be when you break up the writing into scenes or different scenes for LIs, etc.
I'd been working on the 'smaller' edits of bugs, typos, etc before finally getting to play it too, which doesn't help picture it as an actual flowing chapter, but finally getting to go through it all as an actual playthrough has made me very, very excited!

And, at 59,496 words, the writing for chapter one is now completed!!
It was a bit of a weird chapter to write, lol. A lot of it ended up being quite different to what I had planned out, but I really like it and the flow of it. There was a bit more romance 'reunion' kind of scenes than I intended, but I was obviously in a romance-y mood with how much ended up going in, hehe :D
