🕑 Added 2024-10-26 17:17:19 +0000 UTCThe rewrite has been working! It's going well, and I'm already feeling a lot better about this story than I did months ago, and I think that's such an important thing for myself as a writer. In terms of what I've written, I'm still on introductory scenes, but they're important for the MC as it's showing their role in their career and in a supernatural/human organisation. I'm finding it fun to write because, like I keep saying, the MC having that autonomy in the supernatural world. And each job role gives you a different insight into the career, how it's important to the supernatural and human world, and the MC's importance.
I've beginning adding in stats in too. Relationship stats with the ros: friendship and romance. I'm most excited about the fact that depending on the friendship percentage/points, you'll get a written definition of what your friendship is like with that ro. The idea came from when I read When Twilight Strikes, and I really loved the reader being able to have an extra insight to what the percentage/pointers actually means. Like, does this character think we're friends or not? so that's in there.
In terms of Patreon content, I know it's been flakey. Uni has started back up again; I have exams, a dissertation, and my 12.5 hour shifts start again next week. My plan is to timetable myself to see if I can write every day or at least every other day or 4 times a week. I just need to get a routine and stick to it because I know that I want this rewrite to be out before the year ends.
I don't think I'll be able to get out the interactive content drabbles like the short stories. Being able to write linear stories is much easier, and it gives me a lot more time to focus on main game content—so whilst I know it's not really what readers want to hear, getting extra drabbles (even without the interactive features) still seems like a good idea. And I know other IF authors are able to roll out a load of content, and I wish I could be like that... but being a full time nursing student is a sucker when it comes to it.
There are also chapter titles in this rewrite too, so I'll be posting a sneak peek of those either tomorrow or in the upcoming days. Additionally, I'll get back on my drabble writing and other kinds of rewrite sneak peeks. Overall, I feel really happy with the direction this is going in: both writing wise and with my Patreon plan.
