WHAT I DID.

sorry for the late update everyone! work had been crazy lately and with me entering exam season, i've been finding it difficult to balance everything in my life. but you didn't come here for updates on my life, so i'll tell you what's been happening with when twilight strikes. 

as it stands, i haven't written on the project in two days now. not because i don't want to, but because i just haven't found time. i tend to write at night after i've 'finished' all my homework for the day and recently i've just been crashing. as you can tell by the small sneak peek below (and the one posted the other day), however, i've hit a section of the chapter where you get to interact with K and Rylan, which is always exciting. i said last week that they won't have as big of a role so i'm going to try my best to make them as prominent as possible in this scene. it's a decent length (or is planned to be) so you won't be without them for too long this chapter.

as the story progresses and we enter the middle portion of the game, more and more elements are being introduced which can be difficult to balance. i've stated before that my characters are my pride and joy, which means i need them to change as we move forward. Blane isn't just the two-dimensional asshole that you meet in chapter one—they have a heart and display their vulnerability when the hunter takes a knife for them. Rylan isn't just the flirty and sarcastic character that lifts the tension in the room when things get rough—they struggle with demons themselves and have more passion than they let on sometimes. i have little experience with professional writing so this is definitely a challenge for me, but it's one that i accept and hope proves worth it when we get to the end.

aside from that, there's not much to share. i know my updates tend to be rambles of (near) nonsense, but know that i'm continually chipping away at the story and trying my best to post content here for you all. hope you're all doing well <3

SNEAK PEEK.

They didn't have all the details, however, so Rylan, being the nosy person that they are, demanded details before we had even gotten settled.
