The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 21/Jan/2022 (Patreon)

The week started...interestingly, when Teddy (the cat) decided to sit on my keyboard while I was finishing some touch up edits on chapter 8. I quickly closed the laptop lid, but I forget my poor laptop isn't doing so great, so it doesn't hibernate even with the lid closed. So when I opened it back up, chapter 8 was a mess.

I honestly just about had a heart attack thinking I'd lost it all, but I've managed to recover it! I'm having to send it over to SpunkyCat in chunks for editing still at the moment as I work on it, but it should be okay!

Still, we finally caught up on social media days this week! So that will be back to normal now :D 

But even with those couple of days for that, I had a definite goal in mind for this week for Chapter 11, and I'm going to hit it!! I wanted to make sure to get the opening scenes out of the way before the big branching off for this chapter.

It was also nice to bring Tina or Verda back into the opposite branches for a bit. Although they have separate stories, I don't want them to disappear just because you're on the other one's branch! :D

 It was a bit of an emotionally heavy opening, doubly so if you're on Doug's branch as his moment can be a bit of a punch to the gut depending on how your MC feels about that! But once I get to the dinner scene sections, it's gonna be great fun! And I'm going to be getting started with Tina's next week!

How the MC mentions this dinner to the LI is also gonna be a blast to write, and I'm very excited for that! :D

Hoping next week will start with less excitement, and less cats sitting on keyboards, hehe! :D

Also, the poll for the Valentine's scenario specials on Patreon ends next week, so make sure to cast your vote if you haven't already! Looks like it'll be a clear winner for the theme, but you never know...!

For this week's Update+, a small moment when a sarcastic MC just can't help getting in their two cents on a Trapper :D

"I'm not paid to be original," he retorts, but the strength has gone from his words as they stutter from his lips.

I cock my head. "Well that's damn lucky, 'cause I doubt you'd be making much at all if that were the case."

There's a whole bunch of choices in this section on how to go about this scene, and I'm SO pleased with them all. It's fun personality check scene, which I hope people will definitely get some fun with, hehe! :D

Hope you all have the most wonderful weekend! We'll be offline as usual, so I'll talk to you all soon! <3
