          Thank you to everyone who read, commented and supported my work over the years.

Lately, I’ve been super busy participating in the NaNoWriMo Challenge, and I’m thrilled to say that I finished it with a total of 57,000 words!
          
          What did I write, you ask? Well, I tackled the second chapter of my visual novel game Teleny.
          
          Considering the first chapter already clocked in at around 50,000 words, I did some quick (and slightly intimidating) math and realized… wow. The entire game might end up being around 400,000 words by the time it’s done. That’s a lot. I mean, I probably should’ve seen that coming. After all, a storytelling game with multiple choices was bound to be more word-heavy than a regular book, but still, seeing those numbers hit me like: “Oh, okay, that’s happening!”
          
          On the bright side, taking on the NaNoWriMo Challenge has really proved to me that I can deliver that many words at a fast enough pace to keep moving forward. And honestly? That’s got me feeling pretty hopeful that I’ll actually finish this game someday. (Yes, I’m manifesting it!)
          
          It’s been such a ride so far, and I can’t wait to share more updates with you soon. Stay tuned, and thanks for coming along on this journey with me! 
          
          Thanks for sticking with me, and I hope you’ll enjoy what’s coming next in the journey of Teleny.
