Progress Report - Tumblr Posts
With 4thewords, I have written 1,651 words today for the second day of Ominous October!
in the spirit of not editing in pursuit of continuous writing to actually get things done , I have not only switched perspective from third to first perspective but also changed the pronouns of the two-so-far characters twice, without editing because that can come after its done :P
"undead / strange town" I've already got a pretty solid concept for whats happening, now its just time to get the ball rolling!
Me reading this weekly update when suddenly I read "This year is the year I will finish Book 3":

The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update 07/01/2022
I hope everyone is having a great start to 2022!
It’s been SO nice to get back to Wayhaven. I know a break is always good for a refresh and revive, but I’m seriously glad to dive back into Book Three!
I didn’t waste time getting straight back into it with editing Chapter Ten, and also adding some scenes at the end that I thought of over Christmas break, hehe! :D
Coming back to editing it was a good choice, as there was definitely a few small moments I’d forgotten about that was good to remind myself of in case I want to reference them in these new bits I’m adding at the ends.
I know it sounds weird, but I hope some people end up getting the ‘fail’ ending for this chapter! I really like how impactful some of the conversations feel, as well the fun quips you can have at the start with your LI depending on how your MC is feeling, lol!
The 'success’ one is awesome as well, and it’s nice that they are very different. You get a lot more of an active scene with that one, which is great fun coming off of the buzz the MC is one after winning!
Next week I have scheduled out for editing as well, though it will be a full edit of everything I have done so far. I’ve been saving up things people have sent me of bugs and things they’ve managed to catch in the demo (thank you so much for those, guys!), so I’ll be adding those in, as well as catching up on the edits from SpunkyCat.
Next week will also be social media days, and I am super keen for that as I have a couple of series ideas on Patreon I’ve been desperate to get started for those!!
This year is the year I will finish Book Three, so it’s seriously full steam ahead. I’m a little ahead of schedule, so that gives me a little wiggle room, but I just really want to keep ticking off those goals this year!
So here’s to an amazing and productive 2022! :D
When I get an itch to draw but don't know what redraws are always a good bet.
Progress Report (28 March 2022)
TW: weight
So...this morning, when I was updating my stats in MyFitnessPal (which I haven’t done in almost a year), I realized that I’m 17 pounds lighter than I was last year in May 2021. Sometime between towards the end of December 2021 and the beginning of this year, I made the decision to stop focusing so much on calories. I’ve shifted my focus on eating more intuitively and on how the food I eat makes me feel. I have also not been actively weighing myself. I think the last time I stepped on a scale in my own home was over a year ago. The only reason why I know how much I weigh now is because I had a doctor’s appointment a few days ago.
I feel good because I hadn’t realized that I’ve made that much progress so far. I knew I had made some, since some of my favorite clothes weren’t fitting as tightly, but I had assumed it was probably just from bloating less.
I really hope I continue to see this trend. I’m also hoping that since it’s taking longer than I’m used to, it’ll be more sustainable in the long run :)
What's the word count for the demo? Wuthout chapter 3
Hi! Thank you so much for the ask. If I have gotten my math correct, it should be roughly 46,149 words without the coding.
