I’ve been working on the big opening scene to this chapter that leads into the split, where you get one of two versions of the chapter depending on what you choose—and it’s a vastly different choice. Obviously, I knew the two different variations are gonna be a lot of work, especially as they have some major skill check moments in them both, so they’re what had been on my mind. What I didn’t think I’d struggle with is the opening! But I’ve rewritten, deleted, changed, and ada

Well, this week was certainly a lot calmer than last week! End of last week we were hit majorly by storm Goretti. We ended up without power for 3 days. But we were all safe which was the most important! It did mean we couldn’t get on our laptops or charge phones, etc, which put me behind schedule—not exactly the start I wanted. But this week was a new week, and it felt oddly charged with a lot of energy! :D We were seriously on it, and I’ve really stormed ahead! My focus has

And that’s a wrap for 2025! I was a little bit panicked at the beginning of the week that I wasn’t going to get everything done, but every task on my checklist is satisfyingly ticked off, hehe! :D I’m at such a perfect place to come back to in January, that it’s really helped settle my mind—which means I can really give my brain a break too, lol! We’ll be off for Christmas break now from 20th December until January 6th. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to come. Over on P

It was soooo nice to get this chapter finished. It was almost cathartic in a way, hehe! After all these many, many  years of dreaming and imagining these ball scenes I’ve finally been able to bring them to life! :D Though there was one morning when my laptop was being lazy, and I thought it was crashing, and I realised I hadn’t saved the entire scene I’d been working on! Bit of a heart attack to start that day, but it was fine. I backed it up asap after that, lol! I’ll be con

I’m on the penultimate scene of this chapter! Not quite finished with the whole chapter like I really wanted, but I definitely will have it done by the start of next week. Obviously, I left the biggest scenes until last instead of doing the smart thing and starting with them, lol! Poor Nai has had to suffer listening to the ball playlist on repeat day after day after day lately, so I expect she’ll be happy to have this chapter over with too, hehe! :D They were perfect songs f

The right decision was made! Adding in the love interest comments to the different outfits was definitely a good call :D It’s been a lot of work, but it really was worth it! Wayhaven is about those extra details and moments, and it really does shine in scenes like this! Also, I absolutely loved seeing the difference between how the different vampires reacted to the outfits, hehe! Now that I’ve added in the comments to the scenes I've already done, I can get back to writing th

Oh, it was one of the best weeks this week! All these moments I’ve had building in my head for years are now coming out onto the page and really coming to life, hehe! :D I got two of the scenes finished already and was about to move onto the next when…I thought of something else I could add… Part of me is like, ‘Don’t do it. It’ll be soooo  much work for such a tiny one bit of dialogue. Yet the other—admittedly louder lol—part of me is like… So, I’m really torn. It would be a

I’m not sure why I always convince myself I hate editing so much, because every time I edit I’m always going through the chapter like, ‘Oh my word, I totally forgot this bit!’ Or ‘Aaahh! I forgot this is how it goes with love interest after that moment’, lol! :D It’s mostly because editing stops me from writing, and I’m a person who just likes to keep pushing forward on projects! But editing is one of the most important tasks, and apparently actually becoming a favourite one

Who absolutely smashed their goals this week? When I say I was on a roll, I mean I was like one those cheese wheels that goes flying down the hill at those cheese-chasing festivals! :D I always set myself a goal when I start work ‘cause I do really well with goals and checklists, lol. But this week, each day, I was completing that goal and moving onto the next!! Yesterday, I knew there was a super complicated scene of coding coming up where the narrative variations were just

This week, it was a proper dive into the ball, and I am LOVING IT! :D All these scenes and dialogue moments I’ve had in my head for absolute years are finally getting to come to life on the page!! And it’s only the beginning, hehe! A lot happens at the ball—emotionally so, especially—and it’s a real turning point, or just realisation moment, for quite a few of the romances. Then I had a quick check through to what is happening after this section of love interest scenes, and I

The task I’ve been working on has taken allllll  week. Which was unexpected but has turned out great in the end! Definitely worth the effort! I was coming to write the ball start, when the MC finally arrives and everything begins…then realized that I was SO excited to write the ball that even in the plan I forgot a super-duper important scene. …The outfit choice. Not sure how I could have forgotten that part. It meant the main character was apparently just going to turn up to
