October 2026 Writing Update

As mentioned previously, the feedback was actionable! So I took action. Lot of overhauls to the back half of the narrative in this newer version of the story, so I’m interested to see how they would be received by the next reader. Overall the changes are that which would change things from a more abstract and cosmic scale to more personal and individually-driven.

Previously I would have thought these to be antithetical to what I wanted this story to be. But I would like to think my recent foray into Resident Evil has helped me recontextualize how I could approach a story of this kind at this scale.

Anyway, all this to say is that video games did in fact teach me something. So, they’re not all bad.
