    Did some work on a frustrating scene in Part 1. Chapter 11 has one of the key moments in this story (and is when I finally started to like my own OC as a person and not just as a plot device lol) so the events need proper foreshadowing :/

    I lied earlier, accidentally. It's ofc Chapter 10 that is so important.
    Didn't do too much writing today, was distracted with reviews.
    But I did have an idea on how to potentially fix the troublesome foreshadowing.... I will find out tmr if it worked out, hopefully!

  3. Can’t believe it’s been 5 days already!

    I know I added 1 line on Mar 21!

    I also did more work on the troublesome foreshadowing scene (and artfully rearranged my desktop to procrastinate) on Mar 22

    I missed out on Mar 23 and 24 because of tabletop games.

    And for Mar 25?
    I realized I made everything waaaay more complicated than needed. Adjusted some dialogue and narration and now we are good. Let’s see if I get test reactions on the new “foreshadowing” (it is a little on the nose now but hey, it’s Digimon)~

    I have returned to Part 2 and its Zoe section. Did some minor edits and even added some lines! It’s still slower going than I would have liked but hey, progress is progess!

    Used the train ride to and from work to tweak that Zoe section. I had a surprising amount of fun! Also, spent about an hour answering @AlexWrites 's review~ Good times!
    In addition, I finally got to add another post to my Writer's Corner, what with the new character getting her spotlight!
    All in all, a productive day, I say~

  6. Alright with the preparations for Review Day and actually posting more chapter of World of Souls… I had surprisingly little time to write.

    So in between May 28 and now, June 3:
    I answered Alex’ next reviews before Review Day.
    I also edited 4.5 chapters of World of Souls so that I could post them before Review Day (smart idea. Suddenly, having a long chapter is a boost not a detriment lol)
    During Review Day, I wrote…. Reviews obv. So still no progress on writing…
    Then it took me until yesterday to answer all the wonderful reviews I received~ I loved every single one of them *-*

    So, here’s hoping I can get more writing down this week :3
  7. ….I really did manage to break a perfectly fine streak by deciding to play Digimon huh? XD

    So here’s the breakdown


    Jun 3
    Went to a restaurant and did a lot of editing! And even added a new line or two~
    Minutes: 40

    Jun 4
    Digimon Time Stranger~
    Actually, wait a second. Scrivener tells me I wrote 11 words on June 4th…
    Minutes: 1

    June 5
    Despite more Time Stranger, I also did writing! Scene is progressing at a snail’s pace tho
    Minutes: 50

    June 6
    We had guests so no writing all day! (But I did manage to squeeze in more Digimon Time Stranger)

    June 7
    …also no writing, but a lot of video gaming ^^°

    June 8
    I WROTE! In Scarlett’s pad!! Thought abt what I really wanted to do with this stupid scene.
    Minutes: 5

    June 9
    I wrote 86 words :) Mainly abt how I could make this scene more interesting to ME.
    Minutes: 8


And then, as if written by the hand of a bad novelist, an incredible thing happened.
