Gods above it's been a while ain't it! 
          Strange for me to think that I started writing on this site and now my first novel is actually published!
          Honestly, never thought I'd even pop on here again, but I thought why not, what's the harm.

Hey all.
          
          I've been MIA for the last while from this site and with good reason too. I've been working on furthering myself as a writer and finishing up a manuscript I'm working on. 
          
          But I want to announce that within the next month, everything on my Wattpad page will be gone. Personally, I'm no longer happy with this website and in the grand scheme of trying to better myself, Wattpad just isn't the place for me to do it. 
          
          
          I hope you all understand.

So I've just got the new Wattpad update.
          
          
          What in the everloving hell is wrong with this new layout!!!!!  Dark mode barely makes it better
          
          
          
          On the otherhand though, dark mode is god tier

Ah, A Knight of Nowhere is such a mess of a book. But I'll be damned if I don't see this through eventually.
          
          Even if I'm likely going to spend my time fully reworking Shadowsight's world for the umpteenth time. I WILL MAKE THIS WORK IF IT IS THE DEATH OF ME!!!

Not sure why wattpad had my pronouns as they/them... tf?

Aaaand I've had to scrap almost a whole chapter because it turned out terrible.   I've started a rewrite now and hopefully it will work
          
          
          But its 1am nearly, so it's probably for the best that I get some sleep rather than adding a hole to my wall

Welp I managed to get 2200 words done today...
          
          that being the same scene written twice since I couldn't get it right.   A good few hours were spent redrafting and editing the one scene, though, it is one that I'm now proud of.   
          
          Hopefully, I can finish the rest of the chapter tomorrow!! Wish me luck :)

The redrafted chapter two of Shadowsight is now out!!!
          
          Please let me know what you think.

So how have people's lockdown lives been going anyway?
          
          Personally, mine has been boring as all hell. With writing and cheesy YA show binges fueling my life forward. That and Spotify! 
          Including a lot of reading as-well. My current read is Brandon Sanderson's: Way of Kings
          What are you guys currently reading?
          I also wanted to let people know that if the stress of all of this is getting to them, don't hesitate to reach out. I know just how bad this can all get.

3000 Words written today. Hopefully, I'll be a bit more productive tomorrow :/
          
          Though, I'm at a point where I'm fully falling in love with AKON again,  especially the Constar plot arch. So I've REALLY been indulging myself into it. Especially since I'm now somewhat competent when compared to the original draft.
          I'm going to get to editing Chapter 10 tomorrow, so hopefully, that will be up. 
          
          As well as the redrafted Chapter 2 of Shadowsight. Which I'm even more proud of than the original. 
          
          Though, for the most part, Shadowsight will be on the backburner until a large portion into AKON again, I don't wish to lose momentum whilst I have it. Though, Shadowsight is still being world built during the project, especially with how the Hunter's function. 
          
          Hopefully, both projects will end up being enjoyable when complete!!
          
          So you should expect the two chapters to drop tomorrow, and please tell me what you think!!  All of your comments and votes are appreciated!!
