Extended Writing Update
🕑 Added 2025-04-21 01:01:41 +0000 UTCThis week went really well! I focused a lot of that rearranging I mentioned before, in chapter one. Leon's addition really shaped the structure better - I wound up taking Tiane out of the earlier interaction if he's not alive, and bringing her in to fill the role he does. I also trimmed down that overall interaction. I wasn't loving a few pieces of it and was hoping I'd come up with something better eventually... and eventually came in the form of people wanting to smooch Leon 😂
I think it's so fun the way I'm going to get to flesh him out now. I wasn't planning on doing it, but now that I've started I'm looking forward to having some interactions with him down the line where MC can learn a little more about why he joined up with Virano (in more detail than what we got in book one) and how he feels about having betrayed the group. And the den, too. Boy's been betraying a lot of people, now that I think about it >_<
Also, I didn't describe Leon as much as I probably should've in book one, so I'm going to hold a poll for fun on what hair color we want him to have and a few other traits. I think it'll be fun!
Here's this week's preview:
