Here's the writing update for April. I've finished the first drafts of 2 backgrounds (aristocrat and nomad) and written a little less than half or so of the final background (scavenger).
This month hasn't been the best one writing-wise. My old laptop broke down and I lost a few hours worth of progress due to a saving-related issue. I've also struggled with writer's block and it was only around yesterday it started to ease up. It's frustrating to deal with, but something everyone who writes will likely encounter at some point or another. I try to remind myself of that when I feel like I'm not doing enough. Since writing has felt smoother yesterday and today, I'm hoping that I can finish up the first drafts completely by the end of April/beginning of May.
Things are slowly coming together and I'm just happy to be in a place where I'm in more of a flow again.
I plan to release 1 or 2 more character portraits in May and post another writing snippet along with more information about each background. I'm also working on answering some asks that I've left as drafts for now since they require more long and thought-out answers.
Thank you so much for the support and patience as always <3 see you in May!
Time always seemed to haunt him. Its indifference to mortal suffering, its relentless march forward – it all hung over him like a heavy cloak he couldn’t remove. Like a ruler burdened with the knowledge that their life first and foremost belongs to their subjects, so too did Cirern feel bound by the unyielding grip of time.
