About the Author / Sweeping Edits Pt.2 · 6:07am Aug 17th, 2020
With Chapter 13 of [EG:BFF I] now out, thus completing Act 2, it's once again time for another round of sweeping edits to help tighten/clean up the story so far, and to chronicle my current self's thinking so as to explain to my future self where their decisions in life may have went terribly, terribly wrong. I'll be going through both Acts this time, with Act 1 being skimmed for small errors and Act 2 undergoing tweaks, expansions and rewrites where appropriate.
I must say, I'm still rather pleased with how BFF is turning out. It has expanded and altered in some unexpected ways, but the overall story remains relatively close to the intended vision, and the opportunity to return to my days of writing has certainly been enjoyable. Some people even seem to enjoy the writing as well, which is always a nice little bonus.
It occurs to me, however, that perhaps it would be prudent to elaborate on myself a little—just in case someone stumbles across this and wants a little bit of context toward what makes the author tick and might inspire the stories being told.
That said, I'm not terribly interested in spelling out an entire life story, so I think I'll just go with a rapid-fire buckshot of quick answers. Should the need ever arise, I can always elaborate on details further, but at least this way I've made an effort not to be an entirely blank slate.
