Progress Report (Patreon)

This week flew by. It also crawled at a slug's pace. Funny how contradictory life can be.

I couldn't write every day (╥_╥). Tuesday and yesterday, I was swarmed with work and domestic obligations and couldn't sit down to materialize thoughts into words. But the rest of the days, I did write, and thus I creep closer and closer to the end of this chapter.

I really love the last scene!!! It's only accessible if you carry with you certain items and also choose to bargain, but if you do, you'll have a bunch of content — and mysteries, maybe? — to explore. I'm writing the variations of one such choice, taking inspiration from pretty pictures of old weaponry, and I'm probably having more fun than I should. 🤭

I'm currently on variation number three — the longbow. After that, I'll work on the last set of choices for the chapter before it wraps itself in a pretty bow, ready for the next leg of the journey.

Aside from that, I also finished writing and editing the next Bonus Content for this month's Patreon. Wich it the first part of the Mature Q&A. I... hope you'll like it. 😳

Next week, I won't make a Progress Report because, on Thursday, I set sail to Switzerland to be at my brother's PhD thesis defense! I'm so proud of him 😭. I'll only stay until the 28th (so, less than a week 😔), but I won't be around Friday for the report. To compensate for the days I'll be gone, I'll write tomorrow and Sunday because on the 30th — when I make the next Progress Report — I want to say I'm done writing the chapter!!!!

I think I can make it. If not, I'll be very close.

How have you all been faring? Here, the heat it's starting to turn oppressive; my poor dog has begun to shun the high parts of the day. But, alas, the sunshine playing on the waves of the ocean is always a sight that fills my heart. I've been reading a lot recently — I'm almost done with Hyperion. Have any of you read it? So far, it'll probably make it to my top 10 list. What a masterpiece. What a book.

It's true what they say: art inspires. I can't remember the last time writing was this... easy. The more one reads, the more one wants to pick up a pen. I wonder if it's the same for artists, does walking around in a museum make you want to go home and pick up a brush? Does a musician write lyrics while listening to a symphony?

I have fun posts scheduled for next week, but again, just a reminder that there won't be a progress report on the 23rd. Let us meet again, under the shade and with cooling drinks. Have a great weekend! ❤❤
