Have You Passed Through This Night (formerly The Birth and Death of day)

Hello everyone, It’s Ryan, and to start everyone off I would like to say thank you to all the supporters we have had for Have You Passed Through This . It has been such an interesting journey to arrive at this new novella. Like almost everything, it started with just an idea in one of our long conversations late at night. When Elias and I first talked about what we wanted to do next, we finally came to the conclusion of somewhat of a horror story. Next Morning, We stated to each other, Dam, What were we thinking. We developed a basic idea and plot to what we wanted, and attempted to write, but it didn’t feel right, it didn’t feel as if we were doing the right thing. I left for New York on vacation for a week debating over and over and over on where the hell this story was going to go. At first it was a bit difficult to start Have You Passed Through This Night because we weren't really sure where to begin. As soon as we started, it was like a missile that wouldn't stop until its destination was reached. Hopefully Have You Passed Through This will bring something a bit more satisfying than destruction. Elias and I put endless hours and thought into this story. Times we stayed up all night. And when we slept during the day, we would dream about the plot and how we should be developing each character. From when the beginning of Have You Passed Through this was begun, the plot has changed such a significant amount, that I am glad to say. I am proud. Not necessarily of the story, but what we did to obtain it. In fact, there was a time where we went a week straight without sleep at night. I have put such an effort into this work, dripping black ink from my heart into paper. I am proud of myself, I am proud of Elias, I am proud of the steps we have taken together to make Have You Passed Through This night, the novel that it is today. Elias and I still have more bunnies in our hats that you have yet to see. I hope you will enjoy this novella and I am excited to reveal there is more to come. So get ready, and thank you for all your support
