Any update on chapter 3?! I’m dying for it!!

hello!

I am also dying writing it

💀💀💀💀

every single week I'm like "MAYBE THIS WEEK, MAYBE THIS WEEK IT'LL FINALLY GET DONE!" and then I add to it but the workload still feels large

let me count real quick last I checked it was over 40k words and it still needs: 17 transitions 10 scenes

I- oh

well the GOOD news is, there are more transitions I need to do than scenes, and odds are a lot of the scenes are either going to be cut, or transformed into exposition cuz there's only so much showing I can pull out of my brain before I just need to grab the reader by the face like "listen I just need you to understand that X happened and it made Y character feel Z. Got it? okay moving on"

I swear, if I end up getting enough words on the word count to beat NaNoWriMo on freaking A SINGLE CHAPTER I'm gonna throw a table. I want to break it up so bad but the way I planned the fic is that each chapter are very specific periods/times growths/arcs that have a clear beginning and end to them and I'd rather they be grouped together without creating a bunch of works

sorry for the long wait, I WILDLY underestimated how much time I'd need to finish writing 3... I knew these chapters were chonky but good GRIEF 3 is already over double the size of chapter 1 and I'm not even finished

chapter 4 is looking so much more alluring to work onnnnn, it's probably going to be a similar length to chapter 1 honestly. which will be a much needed breather

I'll tell you all what, if you want to help me out, a lot of the scenes I've been stuck with are scenes that involve Lilith's potential powers, of which I've come up with a few already (some being voice based obviously) BUT if any of you want to send your lilith superpower headcanons my way that'd be so much fun and helpful. I'd do a little shout out in the notes of the chapter to credit the idea

also, I'm hesitant to release more sneak peeks than I already have cuz this chapter is surprisingly hard to sneak peek without getting into the nitty gritty or things that don't make sense out of context BUT if anyone wants to come send me anons or whatever and chat with me about 3, I might let something slip >:3c who knows

obligatory AO3 link to the fic if someone is stumbling across this for the first time
