I've been working on something new.
It doesn't mean the end of Run Cried the Crawling, even though I'll have to put it aside while this new project is being developed.
I became pretty overwhelmed with the scope of RCTC, it being a LARGE project and also my first IF (and first ever piece of writing I've shared online or otherwise.) It got to the point where I was spending loads more time re-writing and re-working than making any sort of forwards movement. It was frustrating. This new project is something more manageable, a "baby step" IF before I tackle the "big beast" IF.
This IF has less variables, a smaller world and (although probably still novel length) a shorter story. It's also a story I'm very passionate to tell, something that hits home. Without getting too personal online, I wanted to make a story that reflected my experiences as an immigrant. But it's more than that, it's about my struggle with language, about being raised by parents from two different cultures, about identity and lost history.
The Thicket is always growing in the back of my mind, I want it to be clear that it's not abandoned. I hope Tethered keeps you company while you wait.
Here's a link to the very short demo
Thank you for all the love you've shown RCtC, it's been amazing to go into the depths of the Thicket with you. <3
