The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 27/Sept/2024

I’ve finished the base writing for Chapter Four, and I’ve almost finished the first edits!!

As you might be able to tell, it’s been a very productive week, hehe! :D

Chapter Four came together sooo smoothly! There wasn’t as many scenes, which helped, but also a major chunk of it was just the MC and another character, which obviously helps keeps variations of scenes to a smaller amount with so few characters—though I still had to put a good amount in to account for some very important choices with this very important character…

But there was a really specific line I wanted this chapter to end on, as I finally got to write it I was like vibrating with excitement, lol! :D It sets up not only the next chapter on a fun, if intense, note, but also the rest of the story!

After I finished writing, I dove straight into the editing! There was an important bit of ‘mirroring’ I really wanted to get into this chapter at the beginning and end for the romances, so getting to read back through and make sure that was clear but also subtle was great to check on!

The romances really are progressing now, and although I want that to be obvious through dialogue and actions, I also want it to be there in the subtler, quieter moments too. I think that’s where deeper feelings can really shine the most! More of an instinctual thing than something the characters are actively doing.

Next week, I will easily finish of the edits and rewrites for this chapter, and then move onto social media days.

Social media days will take a bit longer as I have the Autumnal Scenario Specials for Patreon to write, which is really going to get me in the autumnal mood…before jumping back into the heated summer going on for the next chapter, hehe! :D

For Update+ this week, Li-Sar and the MC having discussions…and a clash of personalities!

"You're the one whose been [long redacted]," I throw out the allegation with force until the last words make my chest ache.

"Oh. Well, yes. Obviously, that was me." Li-Sar drops his/her hand to his/her side and turns on the spot to lean against the wall. "I mean, I don't like to brag—" He/She beams a smile. "Actually, that's exactly what I like to do." He/She ends with a chuckle.

Hope you all have the most amazing weekend! We’ll be offline as usual, so I’ll talk to you all on Monday! <3
