APRIL'S UPDATES
Added 2022-04-01 16:18:01 +0000 UTCYou can simply read the bold text for a summary.
- From now on, I'll be publishing the chapters on Sway. It's similar to what PirateAba does, but instead of using WordPress, I'll just be using Sway. It's easier for the moment and there's less overhead for me. I still think using OneDrive is the best option, but many find it clunky. This, instead, is going to be simple and elegant.
Sample of what chapters will look like. You will still be able to access them through OneDrive and I was thinking about adding a direct .epub and .PDF link if people requested I do so. - From now on, I'll follow a weekly schedule. If you want to know the whole reason why, you can read it on my blog, here.
- From tomorrow on, the chapters will always come out on Friday at 4 AM CET, 10 PM NY, and 7 PM L.A. You can mark the event on your Google Calendar at this link for a reminder, or simply check out your email around that time.
- Chapters will come out at the standard rate of around 2k words per day, give or take. I haven't respected that in the last four days because I really wanted to make the reading experience as easy as possible for the readers and it absorbed a lot of my time. So, every Friday, you might see anywhere from 12-18k words. There's going to be some variability, but so far we have always exceeded the minimum expectations, so that's that. So, no, the average word per day, as usual, shouldn't change.
- There's going to be a Table of Content published as soon as the payments are processed (tomorrow, April 2nd). Chapters will be easy to access and I'll limit the posts on here to basically three or four max. That shall make using Patreon much easier even for novices. And for those who like the app, they still get the weekly post to get the link.
- As someone might have missed it, I want to remind you that chapters have now double the length. I believe that Volume 3 might be split into two separate sub-volumes for publishing purposes, most likely.
- Pam's Quest is coming in a few days. My fun project. No expectations. But if you enjoy some zombie stuff with surprise LitRPG, you will have something to read while waiting for the rest of the chapters.
- I'll be publishing I Wear It Black (a new title for the Lancer project) starting mid-April for the same Patrons of Casual Heroing. In the end, you already pay a lot of money and I'm not a big fan of authors working under different pen names and so on. Quality here should be very high, unlike Pam's Quest. This is most likely going to go side-by-side with Casual Heroing if it fares as well as I believe it will. It's not going to break public before May, though. I'll most likely post it when people are coming down from the Writathon high.
- I'll be updating the HOW-TO and let the links expire on the 2nd of April.
- Sway links will expire like OneDrive links on the 2nd of each month.
If some other news comes to mind, I'll give you a heads up.
