The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 02/August/2024

Blimey, it’s been a hot one here this week in the UK! But it certainly has set the mood for Book Four, which has a lot of heat to it…in more ways than one! ;D

I will keep it a short one this week, because although it was a fantastic week where I was on a serious roll, there is the most important thing I want to mention:

Chapter Two of the Book Four demo will be up on Saturday for early access to $5+ patrons!

The post will be out around 1:30pm-ish (UK time) :D

The new editing system seriously seems to be working! Although it means taking more time at the end of each chapter, there are WAY fewer issues coming back from the editor and readers, which in the long run will hopefully make Book Four’s writing and testing process go so much smoother, as well as a much quicker testing phase at the very end—which is always one of the most time-consuming and stressful parts!

But it was super nice to settle down to do the edits and comments from the readers and testers, only to end up looking at them and realizing there was hardly anything to adjust or edit!

Unfortunately, things always still manage to slip through (I’ve found a bug myself I will be fixing today before tomorrow’s demo release!) but it really is so much more polished at this point than where the books have been in the past.

Wow, after saying I was going to keep it short I still managed to write a longer update than planned, hehe! I’m just incredibly happy to feel like I’ve finally found a process for editing that actually works and will save so much time at the end, as well as making the books that much more clean and polished!

Next week, it’s social media days! So I’ll be getting stuck into some asks for the month ahead, as well getting started on the fun posts coming up on Patreon, including the Summer Scenario Specials!

For Update+ this week, I thought seeing as we had a snippet of Unit Alpha’s scene last week, I’d give a little sneak at Unit Victor’s version…

-

"I almost lost a finger, and that's all you remember?!" Otmar bursts out with a slicing frown.

Ralph stares at the ground before breaking into a smile with a nod. "Oh yeah. I remember that bit now. Wow, that was actually a bit of a fuck-up, wasn't it."

Otmar rolls his eyes so hard he falls back against the wall behind him, but a smile of his own lingers on his lips.

It’s going to be very interesting switching it up from rather outgoing and extroverted teams of Alpha and Victor to the more introverted and intense Unit Delta next!

Hope you all have the most amazing weekend and enjoy Chapter Two! I seriously cannot WAIT to get to chat with you all about what’s coming up in it, hehe! We’ll be offline as usual so I’ll talk to you all on Monday :D
