Hey, fantastic crew! 🚀 You're all looking dandy and snazzy today. So, what's the scoop? Stray Paranormal dropping in with the latest Cascade Falls updates:

🛠️ Workplace Drama: Well, folks, had a little workplace mishap this week – a table decided to do a lap dance on my foot. Yep, my carelessness met bad luck. Toe's a bit worse for wear, but silver lining? Got a couple of remote workdays, which translates to more quality time with our VN.

⏰ ETA: Demo ETA is holding strong in the middle of January. In fact, things are looking so good that I might just sneak in more content than initially planned. Mighty good news for everyone involved!

🤔 Posing Woes: Posing is still playing hard to get. Tried my hand at a simple animation – hands typing on a keyboard. Spent half a day wrestling with it, but alas, had to wave the white flag. Next up is a kickboxing training scene, and I'm eyeing it with a mix of excitement and dread. No kickboxing poses in the DAZ store, so it's manual mode for me. Animation dreams might need to take a back seat for now.

📝 Wordcount Update: New scenes are popping up, but they're for later episodes. Word count's now cruising at a cool 42K. The story's weaving itself, and I'm loving every twist and turn.

🎥 Livestream Tease: We've got some new Patreon members joining the ranks, making it a cool 10 awesome supporters. Now that I have audience, starting next week, I'll be hosting livestreams. Spoiler-free insights into the magic behind the visual novella. (Yeah, more like struggles behind the visual novella). Keep those eyes peeled on Patreon for the official day and time announcement.

That's a wrap for now, folks. Stay healthy, stay safe, and most importantly, keep that positive vibe rolling. Stray Paranormal, signing off! 🌈👻
