There aren’t many readers checking in at the moment, but for those who are: I haven’t given up.
I’m inundated with work as part of a short-term contract I’ve agreed to. It has another 3 months to run. However, the pay is good enough that I’ll be able to take time away from work for awhile afterwards. I’ll then get back into posting. Probably once or twice a week to start with (I’ll need a bit of a mental break), but maybe getting back into daily or near-daily posts.
I’ve been rethinking things a bit too. I’m going to have a go at posting everything on RoyalRoad. My particular genre of fantasy isn’t one of the ‘big hitters’ on RoyalRoad (mostly LitRPG and Isekai), but it’s probably still a sensible way to reach out to some readers who will otherwise never find me.
The rewrite and lengthening of the first book is nearly done. It’s sufficiently different that I might have to change its name. That would mean the Novella (A Treasure of Bone and Promises) and this new version (unnamed) would both be available side-by-side, and a reader could probably start with either option.
Anyway, just thought I should post something after so long.
Thanks for the update!
Personally, what I am most looking forward to is the end of the current book (4), and the final book (5).
Thanks. I’m looking forward to concluding the final fifth book too.
I think the contract should only run another three months (at most). I’ll then be back into writing and posting. I’m very much missing getting some writing done.
