Hey, all. I’m happy to report that I finished the updates to Niamsha’s first act this week and am well positioned to move into a lot of updates to Niamsha’s second act in the coming days. Just to set expectations, though… I won’t be releasing an update next week. It’s a holiday in the United States and I’ll be focusing on time with my family. That doesn’t mean I won’t be getting work done, just that the next update will be a week late and will cover two weeks of work.

Notable updates to Niamsha’s story this week:

I’m much happier with her active-to-passive reaction ratio. She was doing too much staring at the world without actually engaging, and yet somehow I also wasn’t getting details out properly.She’s managing to forge real connections, which are going to be important in her arc through the bookI’m pretty excited with where she’s going to end this book, though it’s a major shift from where I thought she was going to be when I started drafting.

Not a lot of other updates in this space, but I hope everyone has been having a great week. See you all next time!
