I managed to get my objective done as well I wrote more than 30k. that with edition and skipping some stuff and all that is reduced to about 10k prologue.
So that should be seen as good news. But sadly I am deeply worried that nobody will give my game a chance due the nature of the prologue. So I am feeling like a big loser again…
I am not much of a party person in real life but I adore writing fictional parties and the social dynamics within them, especially when something dreadful occurs. For Honor Bound I’m outlining what’s one of the worst parties I’ve written in a CoG so far; I don’t know if it wins out over the Royal Affair Winter Ball (in which Pascal almost dies from an allergic reaction) or the Blood Money wake for Casimira (in which ghosts are causing ruckuses and you can catch a spy and unceremoniously murder them) but I did make myself chortle in the coffee shop over this placeholder line:
30k?! Holy- I’ve only managed ~50k for a completed route, that’s incredible! If you end up posting your WIP here, please tag me, because I’d totally give it a go. You’ve done a lot of work, whether it’s 30k or 10k. Someone, anyone will always read it. That’s kind of the joy of reading/stories. There’s always something someone will enjoy.
I am starting to prepare the script for. this year Halloween Jam. I would do the teaser next Month to the event Start 1st August to last day of October.
I did not meet my goal of finishing writing Chapter 1, but I am pretty close. I didn’t have much time to write this month, to be honest. I did completely finish my prologue, once and for all, however!
One thing I learned this month is that I am way better at writing about setting (scenery, mood/tone, architecture, sights/sounds/smells, etc.) than I am at writing about characters – specifically dialogue… I think it might have to do with the fact that I’ve never been good at or cared for much socializing in real life myself, which now leads to me having no idea how to write good dialogue that sounds both natural and serves a narrative/developmental purpose.
Finally started writing the romance guide for Season Two and have them all done apart from Lucien as his is a bit trickier as it requires his favours which are tracked along with another variable.
Well, I went over and above on the first one, and managed a full 60k month, which was a really good thing to have done. I’d like to have Asphodel submitted for publication by the end of the year if at all possible, so now’s the time to be pushing my wordcounts a bit where I can.
As to the second… well, I definitely managed progress, and I’m pretty happy with it in that sense, but I do wish it’d been a little more. Still, I’m not going to complain. Here’s hoping I can keep up the momentum on both into next month.
No, not really. It has more words, but it’s in chapter 9/10 (and there will also be an epilogue). Diaspora is to the point where we’re writing the epilogue, so it’s technically still further along.
With picking up extra hours at work, I haven’t been able to get as much writing done as I’d like, I but I still feel I’ve got a reasonable amount done. I think maybe I might have something demo ready in the next few months. Time will tell but I’m hopeful. Just gotta save enough leftover energy for writing
Well, it’s the end of the month. And despite the many hiccups this month, (Uni exams, generally just being extremely tired all the time.) I managed to complete my goals.
I implemented difficulty levels, and managed to finally upload my WIP to dashingdon. Turned out, that the website didn’t like the letter “Ō”, so it wouldn’t let me upload because it was in the title.
But other than that, I was mostly doing coding work this month, next month, I’m getting into the thick and thin of act 2. Can’t wait

He also suggested me to build a social image (ironic since we both hate social network), and to put something on wattpad, more for image and presentation than anything else.
