hello and happy summer!
This week has been all about coding! I'm about 3/4 of the way done with the layout updates, and once I'm finished with them I'll get the actual story content coded and ready to go too! I've decided to stop right before 2 Character 2 Customization because, while I hav...

hello and happy Tuesday!
This has been a very busy week! I've gotten a fair amount of writing done, both on Speaker and Partially Stars. I've also started a layout update for Speaker! Using a beautiful template mad...

Hello and happy Tuesday!
This was a great week for writing! The weather here seems to have figured out how to be not-raining for a little while, and while it's now ridiculously hot, it's at least steadily so. Which means my head is clear and the words are flying!
I also started a new ...

And now we have the first playlist in the second series! 💙 This one is for Idle Hands, and songs that make me think of The Witness and the story in general. It's also (like the official Speaker playlist) the only one that doesn't have a cover image 😅

hello and happy Tuesday!
This week, I finished edits and coding and got the next update out to my patrons and betas! I struggled to find a good place to stop, and ended up going back to an earlier part as a cut-off instead, which means a shorter update but a less abrupt one. And everything ...

hello and happy Tuesday!
Not much to report this week, I'm afraid. A persistent migraine has made it difficult to get much writing done, so I've mostly been doing code/bug fixing and outlining when I feel well enough to. The good news is, it's really helped me figure out how the next few sc...

last week was a great week! I got the next update out to my betas and patrons on Friday, and the reception's been really good! I've also managed to get a bit of writing done on the scenes that come after, and they have ended up going in a direction I didn't expect t...

This was a really hectic month for me, and I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but the beginning of this chapter really starts to set the stage for everything to come so I wanted to make sure I got it right. Sometimes quality is more important than...

so I thought I would do something a little different for this month's lore post. since I spent most of last week unable to write due to a serious case of vaccine arm (and unfortunately in my dominant arm, so I couldn't even write the traditional way), I spent most of the week coding instead.

hello and happy Tuesday!
As I mentioned last week, I got my first covid vaccine on Wednesday, and while I didn't have any major side effects, I did have enough soreness in my arm to render it basically useless for a few days. So I only got to write for about half the week, and even then it ...

I've had a great week! Most of the work I've done has been on other, Speaker-related projects instead of on Speaker itself, but I've still managed to get some writing done on chapter 3 as well! Unsurprising, I'm sure, but the beginning of chapter 3...

I don't have much to report this week. I outlined chapter 3 and worked some on my commissions and upcoming fun stuff, but it was a bad headache week so I didn't get as much writing done as I would have preferred 😞 I'm hoping that'll clear up soon so I can get bac...

The last part of this chapter is a real doozy. Some fun character interactions, the option (finally!) to flirt again, and the triumphant and thrilling arrival of the story's plot. All in all, it's 20k words of some of my favorite things I've ever written.
