@CarlaPizzato 1 no problem! I just kind of lost my steam writing there for a while, got very burnt out after taking up a fulltime job.
2 it's a very rough estimate, no promises that and with the low amount of reception it was getting with the soft launch i had shelved it for a little while
3 I did too, it really captured the tone I wanted to set with a dark fantasy kind of twist, more horror type set up with monsters
4 it is planned to be and very much shaping up to it however I don't want to give away the potential love interest as there may very much be a couple combinations possible. It's also my first exploration into writing that sort of relationship. I've read about a dozen girlxgirl books and I'm wanting to be mindful and respectful with building up the chemistry before solidly setting the characters into that crush stage as I'm not experienced with writing it.
