I think: let's start writing for today
also me 5 minutes later: should I check my characters sheet and spend 25 minutes searching for their heights in past chapters just because I think I'm making a mess of it?

home at last and finally finished proof reading chapter XXI, and I must say, the letters in this chapter are by far my favorites from the whole story. Especially Lyor's letter at the end, damn I swear I'm so satisfied that it makes me even worry about future me if I ever read this chapter again and+

finished chapter XXI...
can we all hear the fireworks going out?
haha
it's 10k words, well, that'll probably be the new staple but it's still unnecessary how long it is... but no, i won't cut anything off

my original plan was for HLWC to have 40 chapters, but now that i'm planning the next 20 chapters I'll need to add a few more... which sucks, but what can I do, if I don't do this I'll need to cram TOO much in each chapter and I don't want to sacrifice relationship development tbh

Just made a full timeline of HLWC so that I can organize myself for the next 20 chapters and I'm looking at everything that needs to happen before their marriage and I'm like "how the hell am I going to fit this in 20 chapters?"

I think my biggest flaw as a writer is my inability to write betrayal '-' like I just don't want to write a character to be close just to end in betrayal, especially because I need to write with that in mind since the beginning and I just ain't good at it
