happy international women’s day y’all! i’ve been very busy since the last time i wrote one of these and am excited to share some updates 😊

• i was able to make great progress in february and am now about 85% done with the first draft. i have only about a scene and a half left to write in this current draft. then i’ll go back and add the branches and variations i skipped.
• tala’s solo scenes are pretty much done! i can’t wait for y’all to meet her 🤩
• currently i’m estimating there will be 4-5 new codex entries, so once the main story draft is written i’ll add those. from there i’ll do another round of edits and then send it off to my betas—ideally by the last two weeks of march!
• i’m going to be offline the first weekend of april, so my current estimate for the public release is april 8. monthly ko-fi subscribers will be able to access it ideally 2 days before.
• this timeline is very flexible since i’m currently still in the tail end of a busy season for work but i really really want to drop chapter 2 that second weekend in april so we can celebrate both the update and my birthday at the same time 💖

thank you for the encouraging messages y’all have been sending! it really is great motivation and i’m so excited to share this upcoming update with everybody.
