So, I've been silent for a while and I'm sure you're wondering what's up with that. No, I don't plan to let this enter hiatus hell. I feel like I have to write this story, if only to prove it to myself. Long, personal story you won't be hearing. Either way, you should get an update about what's going on.

Point is, I don't want to abandon this story. But I'm not sure what to do with it either, I started writing it on a whim and while there's plenty I like about it. My inexperience showing itself blatantly and I'm noticing that I have no idea how to continue it. The forest survival arc definitely needed to be longer, if only to have a smoother transition, I needed to do more with Orun and Leosen before she ended up in the city where their impact would be minimal and Alexus needed a proper introduction instead. The fight scene with him and Rhynne was good but really needed it's own chapter where it could get the proper time and highlighting it deserves.

Overall, I just wrote whatever came to mind with no thought given to how it fits together and leads to a continuity and my brain and motivation falls apart whenever I look at the mess I need to pick together to continue. Thus, rewrite. I'm not sure when that'll start showing up, but they'll be here listed as new chaps probably under the same names. I'll be aiming for a once a week schedule when that's done. Perhaps I'll speed it up if I think I can handle it.

I made a lot of mistakes writing this, I went too ambitious, too fast, I didn't plan enough of what it was supposed to be and overall. This really feels like a rushed attempt. I kind of knew this was going to be the case when I began, but I did it anyways because I just had to run into the wall myself. I don't regret it, I'm happy I made this as stupid as I was going in. Because I actually went and did it, and that's just something I really needed in my life. Still do.
