This chapter is kicking my butt.
I knew what I wanted in this chapter right after I posted the last one. The problem is every time I type a scene out and reread it, it just comes off wrong to me.
I'm going to be w...

2021-02-27 10:23:24 +0000 UTC View PostI will be posting the next chapter tonight, but I'm not sure how much longer it will take.
The chapter will be longer than the last few and I need to edit it to make sure it lives up to what I promised.

My arms tense.
My eyes narrow.
I pull back my arms while digging my feet into the forest floor.
