WIP Update - Finally On Time Again!
Feb. 20th, 2025 12:15 amDear Future Duke,
We've made new progress at least. I think we've written two or three times and we're at over 54k! We've added 10k in the last several weeks alone! I know we started with 46 or so, but we did have to cut a fair bit. I'm happy with how it's going though. We're also down to very few brackets, which means we'll be able to focus on Act III soon.
The plan is to finish the initial rewrites of Act II, then re-read Acts I and II as they are and add NEW brackets! With what I have planned after that, I'll be able to really tackle the Act III rewrites, hopefully without any new brackets.
Then, I'll fill out the brackets for Acts I and II, and THEN- we finally get to enlist Beta Readers! I'm sure we have at least a few friends who can read for us. We'll probably advertise on reddit or actually use the GYWO Discord server for once.
February goals are going well, too! Your to-do list is shrinking by the day now that I'm gamifying it. I simply take the list, number a handful of tasks 1-6 or 1-8 or something and then roll the appropriate die! With this, we've been able to get through 2/3 of Holy Rollers, read an article aimed at your dissertation, and even applied to a couple of new jobs. Of course we've also written a couple thousand new words for the WIP as well, but I figure that goes without saying.
By the way, you probably should get to work on the March to-do list for March Duke to accomplish. I suggest getting through whatever brackets you add to Act I on your read-through. Also maybe advertising for Beta Readers (assuming you make good progress!)
Whatever you decide to accomplish in March, I know you'll do it well. Good job, keep it up, I'm so proud of you and me and all of your past selves in what we're doing here.
Sincerely,
Past Duke
