Hey everyone! 🌟 I’m diving into the second chapter of Teleny right now, using the momentum from NaNoWriMo (the annual challenge to write 50,000 words in a month!) to push myself forward. Honestly, I’m not sure if I’ll hit the full word count—it’s a little tricky since I tend to delete and rework scenes a lot at this stage, so I’m probably writing way more than what actually makes it into the final script.

I thought it might be a great idea to share a little sneak peek on my first scene and here it is:

Teleny, romance simulator

The sphericity of secrets

Talk to the priest

Camille: And so, a life-altering evening drew to a close. To most, it would have seemed an ordinary night, and even I only dimly sensed its significance then, unaware of the subtle yet lasting impact it would have on my life.

Camille: His music still echoed within me, as though my heart were a vast, empty cavern, reverberating these sounds infinetly —an unending refrain of my own solitude and his.

Camille: The echoes of his music stirred within me, a melody of love and despair. One moment, I imagined endless days in his presence, awash in bliss; the next, I felt he was already lost to me and I felt punished for the mere indulgence of such brazen hopes.

Camille: His music lingered within me still, like the shadowed sighs of a lover, murmuring sweet secrets in my ear, tempting me with promises of bliss and joy, much like the serpents whisper dared Eve to taste the forbidden fruit.
