I'm absolutely delighted that you're enjoying this so thoroughly. Thank you for keeping me apprised of your progress as you read!! These are genuinely my favorite types of comments. :)
I especially appreciate your observation about how I write Wood Man's relationship with the space he's in. It's something I noticed early on while writing for him--when I write other characters navigating a space, it's a little bit more of a means than an end. Yet unavoidably when writing Wood Man, he so thoroughly inhabits the Now and lives in the moment that I feel like I have to spend time acknowledging that? Not to the writing's detriment! But the effect is definitely interesting: visceral yet uneventful, in a way that makes it cozy, if I've succeeded at maintaining interest with descriptions/intrigue/comedy. Very hygge, if you're familiar (Nordic concept of "coziness" as a lifestyle to be pursued--also very Wood Man, lol).
Anyway! Thank you for reading and commenting! Your enthusiasm inspired me to write a bit more for the next chapter, so I hope you'll stick around for that and continue to enjoy our favorite little bastard. <3
