Progress Update (9 December 2022) (Patreon)

Hey guys 👋 Back again with another weekly update.

For the past week, I've been really focusing on writing Chapter 4. As of right now, the length of Chapter 4 is 12.5K words. I'm pretty satisfied with the rate of my progress so far.

Just like I foresaw, the talk with Yvette ended up taking quite a lot of time to write. More than 90% of that 12.5K words is the whole talk between her and MC. The four different feelings that MC can have about her make writing the different variations of responses to a lot of the sections to be exhausting to write 😥 

But I believe that all of this effort and time I spent on them will pay off because I think the talk is important, considering this is the very first time MC has a real conversation with her in their entire life so far.

The four different options for MC's feelings about her are:

Hate

Hate is straightforward; your MC still hates and is bitter about what she did and her neglect (not visiting MC for a decade).

Love-hate

This is a more complicated feeling and I think it's a pretty good addition that makes MC feels a bit more unstable and add a bit more layers of complexity. Your MC still kinda hates her, but also yearns for her affection and mourns for the missing connection and relationship with her, and these feelings in turn feed into MC's hatred, anger, and bitterness against her.

Apathy/Indifference

Pretty straightforward as well; your MC just doesn't really care about her and considers her a stranger.

Pity

MC feels bad and pity for her and can sympathize with her plights. This might be the most positive feeling MC can have regarding Yvette, the second one being love-hate.

I spent a lot of time writing four different reactions and inner thoughts for MC based on these feelings they have about her. I hope I'll be able to showcase some of the different variations in the Sneak Peek of the talk I'm planning to release soon 😄 

Well, that's all for this week's progress update! Thank you everyone for your continued support, it really means a lot to me 🥰 Let me know which one of these four feelings would your MC would most likely feel about Yvette down below in the comment, or let me know in the discord server if you're a member there 💖
