we're here. we're at the home stretch. after months of fucking writer's block, i can finally see the finish line. it won't be immediately, definitely not next week, but chapter nine is nearing completion. all that's left of this chapter is the final scene, which, depending on how crazy i decide i want it to be, can range anywhere from an additional 5 thousand to 15 thousand words. whatever the outcome, though, i want it to be my best. i want this project to be one of, if not the, best representations of my capabilities as a writer and a creator, so even if i end up pulling my hair out in stress about how long it's been since i've updated, i'm not going to rush it.
the final scene, as i've teased a couple of times before, references (mimics?) a scene that happened earlier in the book. i wrote that scene all the way back in january of 2021, so i'm curious to see how much my perspective has changed since. maybe it'll be similar, maybe it'll be completely different. either way, i'm going to make sure it's fun. as much as i adore writing times where my characters bicker or have those oh moments with the hunter, i think it's these kinds of scenes that really connect the story to its original goal. "you are a bounty hunter." i mean, can my hinting get any more obvious than this?
it's times like these when i wish i could make this game into a visual novel. to see everything come to life not just in my head, but on the screen in colour and texture. the concept has always intrigued me, but i don't have the artistic abilities or the confidence to confide in another artist with this project to be able to let it go. maybe when it's finished, but really, i got to start thinking a little more realistically.
as mentioned last week, i'm going on a mini vacation this week so i won't be able to be active in real time. however, i've (so far) queued up a sneak peek and a drabble (which will be dropping tomorrow) so you won't be content starved. thank you for your support <3

SNEAK PEEK.
This is Rylan. Rylan, who will absolutely turn my words against me because it entertains them. Rylan, who doesn't seem to know the definition of personal space, grinning way too wide and way too close for comfort. Rylan, who makes me nervous for reasons other than being a bounty.
