i've found out that the only way i can get any writing done is if i sit my ass down and force myself to do it. not because i don't want to, but because i'm constantly telling myself i'll do it later, or i have no time and need to do something else instead—something school related and thus productive. other times, i'm not in the mood or would rather just go to sleep (no comment on this one). but once i sit down and really get into it, i find that it's not nearly as bad as i thought it'd be. that my writer's block is actually working with me for once, that i actually have ideas and am excited to get there.
i just have to do it.
this week, i switched gears and moved on to K's and Rylan's scene. well, Rylan's scene i guess, considering that K made an appearance only as a distant voice in the background of the Hunter's and Rylan's call. they'll show up in person soon enough. as of now though, i'm focused on getting Rylan's character right.
from chapters one to five, they were extremely closed off, laughing off comments and putting up a facade. only from chapter six onward did that begin to change, but they were still wary. chapter ten changed that. they shouldn't have met the hunter, but they did. they shouldn't have wanted to see if they were okay, but they did. so in chapter eleven, when the hunter calls them at four in the morning, they can't hide the worry in their voice. they try, of course, but it's not as successful as it would've been a month before. even without doing the scene in chapter ten, you can see the change. they’ve hung out with the hunter too much to not grow fond of them. it’s a really interesting change that i’m trying to perfect right now. since we don’t get their pov, it’s a little difficult to show, but i’m up for the challenge.
regarding the special, i haven’t started it. oops. i’m going to force myself to start it tonight though, so if i have nothing for next week you’re allowed to yell at me. again, it’s not that i don’t want to write it, it’s more that i just choose sleep over writing sometimes (every time). so, yell at me please !
in terms of housekeeping, a poll will be up for those on the midnight tier this week to vote for the next round of drabbles. a new sneak peek should be up towards the latter end of the week.
as always, i hope you’re all doing well <3

sneak peek.
Considering how many secrets I know [Rylan is] still keeping from me, it's only fair.
