This is Author's Note for Chapter 2, Part 3
Minor update, really. Akatsuki is completed at last. While it doesn’t reflect so on Fictionpress, the fact is that it has been turned into a PDF, effectively ending it for me. Will continue to update it on my account at whatever pace I choose to.
To be honest, I don’t really think much of Akatsuki. It is a nice piece and all but it isn’t anything more for me than an exercise in getting my fiction-writing muscles flexed. I needed to get back in the swing of things, so to speak, and I think it did the job. That would essentially explain the haphazard nature of the plot, characters and structure of it, really. Not that it’s an excuse but I have to admit, I wasn’t really focusing on it while I was writing it.
Anyway, in a future post I’ll create a character-by-character analysis of the story. I do that for everything I write but, for reasons I don’t really understand, I never bother to let anyone else see it. I think it best to change that, starting with this piece. And no, this decision is not retroactive.
