The VN draft is done, which isn't all that big because it was already written for Spooktober and all it really needed was to be formatted into a proper format for reading.
I was going to upload copies of this draft for people to read and give feedback on, but now I'm not entirely sure if I should or if that's just setting myself up for trouble with leaks or copyright down the line. Keep in mind, I want this to be published elsewhere - not just self published here. So do bear with me as I decide how to proceed.
(If you ARE interested in reading the VN draft, feel free to leave a comment! That will help me decide if I'll upload the draft or work out something different or not bother at all.)
I'm still working on worldbuilding in my journal, but I also went ahead and started the first draft! And I found more opportunities for field research (a museum/historical site close to my house is doing an exhibit the Saturday before Halloween on Victorian mourning and funeral traditions), I might have to take advantage of that. And I ordered some research books that go into daily life of the time period, comparing/contrasting Victorian tech with steampunk tech, stuff like that. I'm taking this srsly.
We will see where this goes from here. :-)
