The Wayhaven Chronicles—Update+ 04/March/2022

This week really felt like it flew by! But it was a busy one!

I was getting right into Verda's dinner scene when Nai reminded me that it's the start of a new month, which means social media days! So I've been working on that the past couple of days and having fun with another Unit Alpha AU for Patreon, hehe! ;D

But that does mean it's taken a couple of days out from writing, but I'll be able to catch up pretty quick I think now I have the general skeleton of Verda's scene set out for all the LI's.

There was an awesome/annoying moment when I was writing out the ending for A's scene after the dinner parties, and I was SO into it! Like, it was just flowing and amazing...and I realised completely wrong for this particular moment, which was the annoying part, lol!

But it was perfect for the 'date' scene in Chapter 14! Oh man...it's gonna be just *chef's kiss*

So I've pasted that into a Chap 14 scene file ready to go, but then had to come up with something else a little less emotional but still intense for this scene. I ended up thinking of the perfect thing at about 2am on Wednesday! So I quickly emailed it to myself for when I can write it out. And it was worth the shift around as this fits waaaay better. I want to keep this chapter fun and light with some real romance to it, and this was it. So yeah...it was worth waiting for the idea to come to me, hehe! :D

The other LI's scenes are coming on great too! It's just that A's is definitely the romance I'm struggling hardest with at the moment, and I've been working on it the most lately (going back and rewriting some stuff altogether, even just small bits sometimes that need adjusting), just because I know what's coming later in this book and honestly…I'm overly keen to get there, lol! But I have to make sure the pacing feels smooth, even if things do go up and down for the MC and A I still want a consistency to the pacing of it and not just skipping and choppy. 

But social media will be finished today, and I'll get that all scheduled up for the month, which means next week it's getting back to having a blast with Verda, Eric and Mason/Morgan... ;D

For Update+ this week, a little moment of A's that—as is the theme of this chapter—I'm not sure if I'll keep in this chapter or move until a little later.

But I just love that just spending time with the MC away from work has softened A's defenses so much, so I couldn't resist sharing...

Instead, his/her fingertips continue to track against my suddenly sensitive skin until they catch my hand. He/She pulls it up between us, turning my hand over to expose my palm.

He/She stares at the throbbing pulse point of my wrist for a few seconds, waiting to see if I pull away.

So this might not stay in Chapter 11, but it'll definitely be in Book Three somewhere if I decide to move it! :D

Hope you all have the most fabulous weekend! We'll be offline as usual, so I'll talk to you soon! <3
