Progress Report

Friday!

And yet again, I'm here to report a successful week! I finished coding 2/3 of Chapter One, but, as some of you are aware, I wasn't happy with the direction I took for the last third. I had planned for it to go one way, but one night in bed, a new idea sprung to mind and... I didn't want to ignore it.

So, I set out to re-write it, and I'm so, SO GLAD that I did!!! I started yesterday, but with only two writing sessions, I already love the new material twice more than the old one. It will have ramifications for the entire first arch of the book, and this way is so much more fun.

There's a new face involved, a face that some of you have asked to meet again so that you can have some well-deserved retribution. Plus, I get to play a little more with my lovely Corruption stat, and well... that's always a plus for me. 😋

Today I couldn't tear myself from the keyboard, so I wrote 3k words! It went a little bit slower since I don't have the first draft to rely on — this rewrite is entirely new material — but even so, I was able to hit a respectable number.

The goal for next week? I want to have, at least, the largest route written — there's a chase and a duel involved. That's goal number one, but goal number two is honestly, to be almost done with the last third of the chapter altogether!!!!

And that's it! I feel like this book is really taking shape, and there are so many scenes I want to get to. See you all next week! ♡🌹
