The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 22/Nov/2024

My focus was on Chapter 6 this week. There’s a big opening scene that is a variant depending on who your BFF is, and there’s some real deeper information in these scenes about the BFF that they discuss with the MC.

I’ve been keen to write this for sooo long!

I put in the BFF routes for Wayhaven, and I do like them, but it feels like the MC hasn’t really had a chance to develop that friendship with their BFF except kind of ‘off screen’. I want more times so that true connection between the MC and their BFF can happen with the actual reader.

There’s also coming up a choice set for the reader to decide how their character is feeling about certain things, so I want to make sure there’s enough choices without being overwhelming!

Next week, I will be pushing on with Chapter 6, as it’s a bigger one to write with all the variations! But also I’ll be starting the Winter Scenario Specials and work out how I want those to look and go, because I was supposed to start that this week but was on such a roll with this chapter that I just kept writing, hehe! :D

For Update+ this week, the difference between giving in and holding strong with Li-Sar’s romance…

--

Temptation burns between us—a delicious heat that warms every part of me—but it's a deeper, more feverish emotion that keeps me silent.

A connection that tugs at my heart and leaves me breathless.

VS.

"Never." The word echoes through the forest like a crack of thunder, the power in it forcing away the smoke around me.

Li-Sar's frustration sets the fires to rage hotter, but their flames don't reach me—they can only lash angrily at air.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! It’s supposed to be pretty stormy in the UK, so the perfect weather to have a cuppa and get some serious writing done—particularly as it suits the setting for it right now…! <3
