Heya everyone! I hope you’ve enjoyed the new year so far.
I’ve been cooking up Part IX, attempting to find a healthy balance between a metaphorical sweet and spicy. The previous installment -- that being Part VIII -- was a slower, more expository story installment. I’m sure you’re as eager as I am to get back into the heat of things, which is exactly what we will be doing approaching the finale of Act I.
There are two more parts remaining of the first act.
Part IX will tie up the ends left uncomfortably unkempt, will address the brewing, boiling feelings and preface the next day’s dance.
Part X will fully explore how everyone’s heart flutters for this youthful event -- some because of an anxious, naive search for mutual feelings, others because of a painful, bodily whirlwind made of fear’s agony.
So let’s continue the story! I’ll be posting the first batch of three previews on Wednesday so you can satisfy some of your curiosity.
December was undoubtedly bittersweet -- I stumbled and tripped multiple times, finally gifting your present the day after Christmas. It really disappointed me that I couldn’t meet your expectations, especially during the enchanting time that is the holiday season -- I apologize for that.
From here forward, I will refrain from announcing the release week and date entirely. Feel free to ask every once in a while via email, discord, message, etc if you’re wondering how close we are -- I’ll be sure to give you a generality of the progress! If you’d like to talk/inquire with me on a more daily basis, Discord is the best method:

I’m still catching up with emails and will get back to you soon if you reached me through there!
For
Part IX and forward, I don’t want to make any more mistakes regarding delivery. I’ll be posting a batch of previews every other week or so, that way you have something to chew on until release. I’ll obviously be gunning hard for a January slot, however I’ll acknowledge and amend the hazard of it possibly seeping into February; again, I don’t want to make a promise to you that I might not be able to keep.
Regardless, I’ll be here and will keep you updated with sneak peeks and more of my written redundancy. Give me another visit on Wednesday and I’ll provide your first helping!
Thank you for your continued, impervious support of myself and this story. Thank you for letting it endure.
Best,
