November report: Worked on Superheroes Project, wrote down various pages of notes [Here for thoose interested](https://forum.choiceofgames.com/t/nanowrimo-support-group/127151/197) Wrote a small chapter (to merge later??), 3 and half pages, 1 667 words. Waiting for readers response, Iā€™ve the feeling that the first scene (four different people, in different places, waking and dressing simultaneosly) is a bit verbose. Overall the project and character are taking shape. Bad news: the ā€œyear oneā€ is still too much similar to CCH Trail By Fire. December plans: Continuing writing SP? Continuing planning It more? Return on Stories from Gaia and rewrite some characters? Continuing writing short stories character focused? ---

No goals, beside playing the Upcoming games. I mean we are in for a treat! The passenger, that one with your Mom (Forgot the name lol), Fallen hero 2, Wayhavenā€¦ How Iā€™m supposed to think about WRITING when Iā€™m busy PLAYING!? Actually I do think about writing, but I just canā€™t bring myself to do so. Though about revisiting an old project. Short and sweet and the setting are Horror. But for the Life of me, I donā€™t know how to start it. Since it was supposed to be a Story, and not a game. But turning it into a game, make that beginningā€¦impossible. Guess back to ā€˜How do I split this again?ā€™ šŸ˜… ---

Royal Affairs is in draft review at the moment, so while I wait for my notes Iā€™m going let RA percolate a bit so that my eyes are more fresh when I return to it. Iā€™m going to be doing some non-CoG game work, but also thinking a bit about potential future CoG projects (gasp!). When I get my notes Iā€™ll be on revisions! Which I often love doing - weā€™ll see if that bears out this time. This time of year can be especially tough or complicated for people for various reasons, so as ever Iā€™m wishing everyone the best, but doubly so this month. ---

My goal is to maybe possibly complete the draft I started last month, or at least the next part of it. (I also have a new supervillain to sort out, but eh.) ---

My only goal is to actually write, because I know this is a terrible time to push myself too hard and set goals I may not live up to. I need to rest my head. But I _really_ hope that I can at least find inspiration for my stories. Iā€™m starting to feel genuinely serene, so I have hopes. ---

With university in its heavy assignment period, I know I wonā€™t get another big chapter update out for the rest of 2022, but Iā€™ve been getting lots of writing done as a whole which I love! Alongside that, I just released an announcement of exciting stuff on my Patreon which is fun which is what writing is supposed to be. ---

If the holidays allow it Iā€™ll do even more proofreading for Unnatural Season 2 (the beta version where you can import saves from Season 1) and start worldbuilding for that WiP Iā€™ve wanted to rewrite for a couple of years now. ---

Iā€™mā€¦ struggling to come to terms with the idea that there is only one month left in 2022 but I guess Iā€™m just gonna roll with it. So. December goals: - Edit and publish Chapter Seven of FoA - Outline and begin chapter eight (hopefully at least 15,000 words) - Keep going on Diaspora, and write something for it most days. I think this should be manageable. Iā€™m editing probably too many words a day in an attempt to get FoAā€™s latest chapter in a fit state for other peopleā€™s eyes, but fingers crossed itā€™s worth it. Someday, Diaspora will be finished. Someday. Good luck this month, everyone. ---

My goal for December is finish the chapter Iā€™m working on and put out a playable demo. Iā€™m super excited about some of the up coming scenes. But I have exams coming up, so hopefully that wonā€™t keep me from finishing, but it should be doable.
