WHAT I DID.

i'm going to make this short and quick: not much has happened. mentally, i'm not doing the greatest which makes writing this in my 'free' time even more difficult since i've been spending that sleeping instead. hence the short word count update. things might get even shorter for the next couple of weeks as i switch gears to write the holiday shorts i've been promoting. i know many of you would tell me that i should just scrap it, lest i put too much pressure on myself, but i think this'll be a good change of tempo for me. i've spoken a lot about how multitasking works well for my brain, so i'm hoping this cures me of whatever funk i'm in right now.

in terms of the content i wrote this week, i'm still in the same scene as i was last week. i've simply written more remarks from Rylan and eye rolls from K and baffled interruptions from A. and while i adore these core traits and behaviours, at some point throughout it all, i started to feel like everything was super repetitive. but then i started thinking, a lot of things in interactive fiction tend to be repetitive. when you're writing five possible responses for one question, things are going to overlap. so from my point of view, it may feel like i've seen the characters do something a dozen times but from an audience point of view, they may have only seen it once. twice, at the very most. that's what editing is there for: to delete and change things that you missed the first time. i may hate doing it, but there's a reason i don't skip it.

apologies for how lacking this update is. i didn't want to skip posting completely but with so little progress, i don't know if there's much for me to say. if i get around to starting the shorts this week, i will talk about that in my next update and how it's coming along. of course, everyone in the twilight and midnight tiers will get early access before the public <3
