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. i realized that because i wrote Blane's scene so early on, i had changed a lot of plot points that i now needed to rewrite. because this is a parallel scene to K&R's, it has to reveal (kinda) the same information. at the very least, it has to follow the same plot points, which is absolutely was not doing.
it also was just... very disjointed? i left a lot of gaps that i had to bridge, which was a struggle and a half. it was to the point where i sat myself down and made a little mindmap to figure out how everything was going to go, which i only do if i'm really really stuck on something. so i guess that says a lot. honestly though, for a task i was dreading, it's not that bad. i've figured it out for the most part and now it's a matter of writing it. arguably the hardest part, but hey, i got past the road block. now for the second hurdle...
truly though, i think i have it down. editing this chapter will probably be the worst out of any other chapter i've written, but this will be done. trust me on that. as bad as everything is now, i've genuinely made a lot of progress. for the longest time, i thought this chapter actually might be my downfall and i'd have to cancel everything right there. but i'm still here baby! we're still thriving (suffering).
as for next week, i want to be optimistic and say i'll finish Blane's scene? or at least the outline of it and then i'll go back and fill in the blanks later. either that or i'll finish the outline for A&N's scene. either way, i'm going to dream big and hope that i can pull it off.
wish me luck! i hope everyone has a wonderful week <3

Just how Rylan deflects to avoid divulging information about themself, Blane's attitude acts as a front that prevents people from asking further questions.
