It got a little hot this week in the UK…and also in Wayhaven! :D
The random heatwave we had certainly helped write a particular scene, that’s for sure! I was going to leave that scene in this chapter until last but the weather, and my headspace, was so in the moment for it that I started to tackle it!
It’s a real doozy as it has differing BFF scenes at the start and then some super important choices later. But I was really in it, and it felt good to have such a complicated scene just flow, especially considering we were all melting in the heat, lol!
I also managed to come up with a solution for something the editor pulled out a couple of chapters ago. There was a part where the coding wasn’t really firing correctly, but I wasn’t sure how to smooth it out. But it just came to me one evening!
Sometimes it’s good to put a problem in the back of your mind and let it rest there—the solution does sometimes just come out of nowhere, hehe :D
Today, I’m focusing on getting June’s calendar page finished for Patreon (Tina and Verda’s turn!), then it’s back to this chapter—which I’m seriously determined to get the writing finished for next week. I'll also be getting the next set of chapters ready for the testers next week! This new process of testing is going waaaay better. Much less pressure on testers and a lot more time for me to really dig into what needs doing from their feedback!

For Update+ this week, the heatwave definitely helped get me in the zone!

But the influx of oncoming magic swelling within me is exhausting. Draining. So, I push myself up from the window seat and make to change for bed…
CHOICE: Shorts and T-shirt
The shorts and t-shirt I throw on for bed are much cooler. I blow out a breath and try to fan some air onto my sticky skin.
-
CHOICE: Pyjamas
The pyjamas I throw on for bed feel cloying against my heated body. I blow out a breath and try to fan some air onto my sticky skin.
-
CHOICE: Night Dress
The short night dress I throw on for bed is much cooler. I blow out a breath and try to fan some air onto my sticky skin.
-
CHOICE: Underwear
I skip any clothing and strip down to my underwear in this cloying heat, trying to fan some air onto my sticky skin.
