The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 11/March/2022 (Patreon)

So, it was super weird going back to writing a kind of Book One Mason/Morgan for these scenes! Even as their creator, I forget just how hostile and grumpy they are around new people (Tina and M, particularly, grate against each other...) :D

But in Verda's dinner scene, things took a very unexpected turn! So that was fun! I love when things surprise me, 'cause I hope it means it'll be an interesting surprise for you guys too, hehe!

 I should be able to finish up on Verda's scene tomorrow, which means I can move onto the 'after party' small moments for the Tina's and Verda's! Shouldn't be too bad for those either, as it's more variation-based within one scene.

Then it'll be moving onto the final version of Chapter 11, which is the 'Neither Knows' branch! Ah, it's gonna be a fun one too :D I'm particularly looking forward to writing the LI parts for this scene, as they come after the meet-up, and I have some moments I've been seriously keen to write!

But next week I am taking the time to set aside for editing. I'm getting waaay too far behind on that, and although it's been nice pushing ahead on the writing, I can't let the editing build up like I always do, lol.

I've got to add in the stuff SpunkyCat sent me and then try to untangle some more of Chapter 8 for her, because she's been waiting to patiently to keep going on it! Then I want to focus on editing more of Chapter 10, as well as making a start on the Tina scene for editing in Chapter 11.

I know editing is what makes writing really shine, so I have to push myself to do it...even if I seriously keep procrastinating with it! :D

But man, I added up the total word count of Book Three so far and yeah...it's definitely the biggest project I've ever done in my life! We're already well over 630,000 words (in comparison, Book Two was about 750,000 in total iirc, so it seems very likely I will bypass that by quite a bit), and I have a lot of content left to go!

I just can't wait for you guys to see what's coming!!!

For Update+ this week, a little hint at the surprise Verda and M gave me...

-

"I thought you'd be more bothered by me," Mason/Morgan remarks, the words spoken through a stream of smoke.

"Bothered by you? No. You're upfront about what you are. No hiding. I…appreciate that." The man turns his head to meet Mason/Morgan's gaze. "Bothered by your manners? A little more so."

The smoke turns ragged as he/she chuckles deeply in response.

It's almost like there's some respect going on here...I couldn't believe it even as I was writing it, hehe! But it really did flow so naturally for this scene! :D

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