Weekly Update - 2 December, 2024

Hello, all!

Welcome to December. That never becomes a less-strange sentence, because the end of the year always sneaks up on me. At this time last year, I was getting started on the edits for FoA's complete draft. Little did I know that I had five months' worth of work ahead of me!

I've certainly got more than that when it comes to completing BotL, but that's a little more expected. My goal for this month is to finish Chapter Three, or write 30,000 words, whichever comes first (though hopefully they'll happen at around the same time). Ideally, I'd like to start the early access cycle for the new chapter around the end of the year, but we'll see how things go. It's a busy month, with doctors' appointments and holidays and family visits and so on, but I will do my best nevertheless.

I'm also making little bits and pieces of progress on my maybe-upcoming twine project. I have a basic plot idea, but at the moment there's a hole in the middle that really needs filling in, so I'm going to poke at worldbuilding and possible ideas to see if I can put something in that spot that feels good. I've also been working on the UI design, which is something I know almost nothing about, but I couldn't find a template that entirely suited me, so I'm making changes to the one that came the closest. We'll see how it goes.

Anyway, that's the latest for the month; as most of you know, the BIP went up yesterday with 42,000 new words. That was quite exhausting, and the general business of Decembers is why I've reduced my goal for this one. We'll see how I'm feeling in January and reassess then.

I hope you all have a lovely month; with any luck, I'll be back here next week with good news about progress.
