Hi all,
I'm happy to report that I have finished Astrid's campsite conversation! I spent quite a bit of time hopping around this chapter because I would often suffer writing blocks for specific scenes. Astrid and Nico's campsite chat was one of them.
However, I finally finished Astrid's and I can't wait to get started on Nico's. A lot of the struggles were tied to player approval playing a big role in this section. I really wanted to make sure Nico and Astrid's reactions were appropriate depending on how they viewed you.
But with Astrid's section done, Nico's will be much faster because I will have a good outline on how to progress. It also means I am one step closer to finishing part one!
Current word count: 43 920.
In worse news, I am currently in hospital. I was on admitted on Tuesday, 18th of March, and I will likely be here until Saturday. I had to have surgery.
So I'll be on the mend for a while. I'm going to use my time off from work to sleep and write where I can.
Sorry for the constant delays. It seems the chapter is cursed. First my PC died (it still in repairs) and now this. But at least I am still making some kind of progress.
Be safe and stay healthy

P.s a sneak peek as a show of goodwill

Agreeing with the three comments bellow, I hope you get better soon. We'd love to see chapter two, but there won't be anymore chapters if you vanish or lose motivation. Remember to take breaks. G'luck :D
Thank you for the lovely comment <3 I was discharged today and resting at home now. I'll make sure not to push myself too hard!
Hope recovery is going even better than expected! Please don't apologize for healing. Deadlines can be motivating but after a point they become vehicles for shame and harm. Take all the time you need, without any pressure or need for apologies!
I'm home safe and on the mend! Thank you for the support. I'll make sure not to take any risks.
Hope the surgery recovery goes well. Glad to hear you're making progress.
Thank you! If nothing else I'm enjoying the time off from work to brainstorm scenes
hehe I'm early as usual.
take care and please rest, we don't want you overworked <3
I'm bed bound for at least a week so I'll be good.
