Rewriting, Music and Art · 6:43pm Jul 1st, 2022
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to give you all some updates:
Rewriting
The next chapter of TBoaP is coming along, but I've had some issues with how I wanted things to play out over the course of the chapter. As you all know, there's a dinner happening, as well as some story beats that need to be addressed and my own desires for what unfolds in the chapter. I have done four drafts of the chapter (which I have not done previously, at max doing two drafts) so far, and right now it's in a good place, just needs finishing up. I'm sorry for the wait, but you can all expect a release any time from Sunday and Tuesday.
I have another urge to rewrite the entirety of the beginning of the story as well, maybe orient it towards the writing perspective I've adopted for the last two chapters I've released. I've noticed that it helps me describe and set scenes better, but I don't know that I want to do that in the near future. If I decide to rewrite the older chapters, then we inevitably run into the issue wherein old content is revamped, while new content is put on the backburner. I would rather get new stuff out to everyone following the story rather than polish things up for newcomers.
Music
I've been working on some accompaniments for the story for some time now, but I don't know entirely that it's worth it. I have no way of tracking the metrics for it, and I don't want to be sinking time into another facet of the project if it is generally overlooked, does that make sense? Let me know what you all think on that front. Anyways, I have a few tracks waiting to get added to the story, as well as one that will not make the cut, but I felt I should share with all of you anyways. Here that is:
Enjoy.
Art
As you've all seen, I've also been updating the cover art for the act that we're in. Given this is a three-act story, there will be another, final cover picture before we get to anything about sequels. I also thought of reaching out to artists to commission work, though I also encourage any of you guys and gals with artistic capabilities to send things my way. Anything you send me will be featured in the authors comments unless I think it'd work well as a scene flavor.
Figured I should incorporate more communication and interaction with you all.
Final Notes
That just about covers it. Let me know what you all think and if there's anything in particular you like or dislike about the story so far. I need critiques and enjoy comments so please let your voices be heard.
Anyway, that's it,

Ain’t many comments on here but I personally love the musical aspect, your pieces are a wonderful and stunning addition to the story. For each scene it’s been recommended to listen too, it has added an emotional and enchanting touch. From one musician to the next I encourage you to continue making it if not just for the people who take the time to properly enjoy it with your story but for yourself, even stand-alone your musical work is something to be proud of. People who put passion into a project are people to be treasured and you my friend have certainly earned that connotation.
