My Writing process

So a few people have asked me recently about my process and how I get the stories written and ensure that they are fair
In the case of anything involving Eve it’s pretty simple, I speak to Eve at least twice a week and for the whole London life and Homecoming stories she took me though the story, as you’d imagine she can’t remember every moment but I get the basis of what’s gone on, in most cases it was her talking and me taking notes, I then write them up as stories and after being edited about three times they are released (and I still miss bits)
Stories involving Eve and a stranger are purely Eve’s side of the story, no validation and more of my interpretation of the thoughts of the other person
With both Summer and Sarah I’ve then gone to them for their stories, I had numerous Video calls with Summer to get her side and while there is often a difference in recollection it helps to create about 80-90% of what you read, then it’s up to me to write it up, some of the conversations are emphasised when maybe neither party can remember what was said just the outcome, the sex scenes are very similar, they describe what’s happened and I’ll fill in the missing parts, that’s the bit I enjoy!
Sarah was very similar albeit she admits that on paper she often looks the villain but doesn’t mind, also she has a much worse memory of what was said so I have a tendency to go with Eve’s recollections, Sarah also has less interest in what’s written, she’s not precious about what’s said and doesn’t even read them
There is atleast one person who we knew wouldn’t want to have anything to do with the stories (in fact we didn’t ask) and I’ve had to be careful what I wrote about them, their name has been changed and I’ve tried to be fair but I understand why they wouldn’t want to be involved, their side of the story is never validated but I also don’t go into too much detail
Of course I’ve written stories with random people in the past and will continue to do so when I’ve got the time, in those cases they wrote what they remember, then we spoken on video and they have had final say on the release
As far as new stories, there is some up to date stuff to write about but it’ll be a while before you get to hear about that, my process at the moment is to take the Eve story right up until we first met and then her side of my awakening
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask
