Chapter 23: Cortonne, Hamlet of Mystery - Having been given their next assignment, the team have arrived in a hamlet to investigate a string of mysterious disappearances.
I've been sitting on this for a while now, along with a handful more, trying to finish up Act II, but I manage 1-2 paragraphs and either lose focus or face-plant into my keyboard asleep. Kind of just saying whatever at this point because, in all honesty, the next arc in its entirety will need massive revisions if I ever decide to actually do that (I guess part of me is also slacking because I'm iffy on this whole segment, but again, just saying whatever at this point).
If you've been keeping up with my Thursday Prompt attempts featuring "The Alchemist", he's actually making his first appearance here, though he won't be formally introduced until the next chapter. While I like the idea behind his character, his motivation will require suspension of disbelief and execution to personality is honestly kind of lackluster, but I like to think maybe I'll be able to make him shine later on.
Admittedly, things are going to start going downhill from here, and that is not just the low self esteem talking. Like I said, this section will need some major work shopping that I'm just not willing to commit to right now. But let's be honest: it's me; it won't be good, but I still enjoy doing it and at least like to think the effort put into it is worth a thumbs up.
Thanks all for taking the time, very much appreciated.

Some thoughts...
Poor Ari, a whole new set of nightmares to haunt her dreams.
A large graveyard at the entrance to town? Seems fine. ;)
It seems our creepy monster friend is back. I hope we get some actual introductions soon. I'm really curious about it. Also, taking her out into the fog so she gets confused and can't find her way back before something bad happens to her. Rude.
Anyways, good chapter. I'm curious how it will continue.
As to the writing struggles, I know. Sometimes it's just hard to get stuff out onto the page and you just stare at it with no hope. Maybe at least putting this out will at least let you move forwards, even if you do feel it needs a total rethinking. Anyways, the important thing is that you are enjoying writing it.

Nightmares, a foggy cemetery, and some half-skinned alive hulking behemoth claiming to be a friend... great start to their next assignment, I'd say!
I'm very grateful that you'd still be willing to keep up with this, thank you much for that.
I am kind of hoping that this might be the kick in the tail I need to get going again. While it is objectively mediocre at best, writing is something I do still enjoy doing.
