erm, so yeah. busy week. i'll keep this update short because, well, there's not much to say.
everything i said last week still stands: i'm at the end of the chapter and am closing in on the final few thousand words. as of today, august 20th, all i have left is Blane's scene and chapter eleven will be done. finished. completed! here's to hoping that scene doesn't give me a hard time, but considering how much grief it gave me back in february and ...

hellloooooo. how is everyone? i've been really busy (and will continue to be busy until next monday; rip my sleep), so all i can hope is that you're all faring better than me. despite the lower word count, i feel like i accomplished so much with this chapter. i genuinely think i can have it completely written in the next two weeks, which, like, oh my god?? finally?? but i'm not going to get my hopes up until i can scroll through my document and see ever...

Before [N], no one had ever believed in Blane. A sad statement, but unfortunately true. After [N], though, came a few others. Some that were there to begin with, but didn't yet have the privilege of knowing Blane to be able to believe in them.
[N] says privilege, because it truly is a privilege to be friends with Blane. Both in their eyes and [N]'s. People have told them th...

but right, down to business. chapter eleven. i wrote less this week (again) because i had a couple of family issues, but as long as this week goes smoothly i think i can bust out 5000 more words by the next update. if you have a good mindset, then...

so, i got a bit of writer's block. it's not nearly as bad as it usually is, but she's there and she's apparently very stubborn. i know exactly what the problem is though, so it shouldn't be so much of a long-term problem as much as it is a little pest at the momment.
i started reworking Blane's scene this week. for what reason you ask? well, i hit a point with A&N's scene that i wasn't in the mood to write and switched over. genius right? wrong...

If there's anyone who would understand that things aren't always what they seem like on the outside, it's Rylan. That said, when they look at your relationship with [A] they wonder if, for once, it really is just as easy as it looks.
They first met the two of you on the battlefield. While it was not the most ideal situation, it gave them a first-hand look at how well you ...

we reached 500k total words woooo!!! what a crazy milestone. i remember when i thought this book would be no longer than 300k and i'd be done by the end of 2022... oh what a naive little thing i was.
but i'm happy to say that progress is moving much smoother than last week. i'll admit, i had very little faith that i'd be able to write at all, but i'm glad to have been proven wrong. i will say, however, that this doesn't necessarily mean i'm super c...

there are two things i discovered after i went camping. one, mosquitos like me. like, they like me so much that my legs looked like i had chickenpox for a while. two, i don't like hiking when i am being eaten alive and sweaty. aside from those two points, the camping trip went well! (kinda). at any rate, i'm back home now and i don't ever want to step into the wild again.
but enough of that. as you can tell by the word count, i didn't manage to writ...

hi everyone! happy july!
you might notice that i didn't write as much as i did last week, but i'm feeling really really good about where i am in the chapter. as i said last week, K's and Rylan's scene is completely outlined. i had hoped to write the entire thing this week, but life got in the way and, well, it seems like i'll be spending a little longer on it. i'm certain, however, that by the next update, i'll officially have it done. i likely onl...

i had such a good writing session last night and i'm so so happy about it. i don't think i've had that happen for a few months now; i'm really hoping i can keep the streak. i think a large part of it had to do with me going through my itch.io comments earlier in the day. reading various theories and thoughts on characters had me realizing how much i love this wor...

Blane doesn't need a reminder. They're aware of every single misfortune that has befallen them. That their past is an explanation for who they are and it's impossible to change. That, realistically, it's not possible that everyone will betray them and it's okay to open up to people.
Still, they don't want to risk it.
The adoption system will do that to you. No parents, no relatives of any sort...
