Chapter 5 - Part 3: Week 20 Progress

Hey y'all,

This week was a definite improvement on the last, believe it or not. I need to remember that any time I'm stuck on something, I need to walk away from it and concentrate on something else for a little while. That's why this week, I spent a couple of days working on some entirely unrelated story ideas that I've been sitting on for a long time. Mostly just brainstorming, note-taking, and asset research, but it was incredibly invigorating to take a bit of time to explore new ideas for a change. Before you ask: no, I'm in no way, shape, or form walking away from Homelander, but doing something new after 5 years was definitely a fun experience.

As for this week's actual progress, I decided to add another small scene into S11. It's relatively tiny, with perhaps only 15 additional renders at most, but it felt like it was necessary to complete that section. I won't say anything to spoil it, but I can assure you that it will be a universally welcomed addition.

I also took a big dive into Section 12 and started knocking out renders in the latter half of the week. So far so good, without any major issues to report. I imagine I'll be working on more of that this week, but we'll have to wait and see where my dysfunction directs my workflow this week. 

Have another great week, homies!
Much love
JB
