MAY'S UPDATES
Added 2022-05-13 09:59:13 +0000 UTCYou can simply read the bold text for a summary.
- The weekly schedule has worked quite well in April and I intend to keep it for the foreseeable future. It's hard to write without enough time to think. I still think that weekly is too short, and that maybe a monthly schedule would be terrific for quality. In fact, I intend to use a monthly schedule for I Wear It Black (more about it down below). However, I also know that there must be a compromise between reading and writing. Weekly, so far, has worked out to be a good compromise.
- If you can, even if you don't want to, please leave a rating and a comment in the Microsoft Forms at the end of the Sway batches. It's often extremely polarized based on the moment and so far I got few votes to get an idea of how good or how bad some batches are doing. I want to provide the best experience and focus on things we both like, but I need you to tell me what those are, how much you liked them and so on. It won't change the story, but it might change what we see more or less of.
- Cassandre's chapters have received a mixed reception so far. Introducing new POVs is always a risky business, especially when you do what I did and let them run for a substantial amount of chapters.
- You might see more POVs in Casual Heroing. This is something I've not decided on yet. In the past I thought I'd simply write the POVs, Cassandre's included, as different books. But then I realized the obvious. I would have to write double the words each day to keep up with that. With the current state of things, that's simply impossible for me. There's no way I can write Cassandre's or the other CasualHeroing-related characters in different books. I Wear It Black, now, or any other project, in the future, will occupy the other half of my time. I don't intend to work on more than two books at once. But that means that we either forgo the other POVs or that we slowly insert them inside Casual Heroing. I have not taken a final decision yet on the matter. It's hard to say what's going to be the best approach. I love TWI and I love that approach to writing, but I also don't want to overdo it; I often think of TWI and I could have lived without 7/10 POVs. After Cassandre's POV there will be at the very least two to three months before we'll see - if I decide to go down that route - any other POVs. In case I do decide to see other POVs, the next one would be... keep reading and you'll find out.
- Pam's Quest has 5 chapters and it's super fun to write. It's my fun project and I haven't gotten around to proofread them yet. It's coming, though. When? God knows. I should have never teased it, to be honest.
- I Wear It Black gets better and better but I'll be pushing the date for release. You will not see it published before June, most likely. It could be ready by the end of May, but I've decided to go straight to RR. When I'll publish the chapter over there, I'll also make them all available here. It's big, guys. I can feel it. This could mean some serious business for me.
- Volume 3's cover is almost here.
- OneDrive link updated.
