Patreon, plans for the end of the year & next year

Lots to discuss. Love to get feedback on some of it.

Patreon

I'm kind of considering a goal of 100 patrons. However, with a goal there's generally a... hmmm... benefit. So. What kind of goal should I put up for 100 patrons? What do you guys want to see that I'm not planning on doing?

Plans

Hard for you guys to answer without knowing my plans. So, here it is. Roughly in the timeline that I expect things to happen. Audiobooks not included because those happen when they happen based off my narrators timeline.

- Finishing up Rebel Star edits

- Starting on A Djinn's Wish (Book 3 of the Hidden Wishes series)

- Joining a short story writing craft workshop (online) for October

- Launching the short story anthology

- Going to 20booksVegas writing conference

- Starting a series of short stories (6 to be done between mid-end November to mid-January) for a short story workshop. Note, due to the way the workshop is set-up, I can't publish these short stories to you guys. But I'm hoping the experience and training will let me start writing short stories more often. Each of the stories aren't long - around 4-6k words. 

- Launching Rebel Star (Dec 1)

- Starting on A Thousand Li: the First War

- Launching A Djinn's Wish (Jan 1 - tentative)

- Go to short story anthology workshop (early Feb)

- Finish up First War around end-February for a April launch

- Either AoB 7 or a new series gets started in-between as I put 'First War' down after first draft is done. 

A comment on my writing practice. I like putting books aside, preferably for at least a week if not a month to get back to the books with 'clean' eyes. Because System Apocalypse and A Thousand Li are pretty 'involved' books, I find skipping between them to do edits painful. It's why a series like AoB is perfect for the in-between time.

On the other hand, AoB seems to be slowing down in terms of fans, so finding another series to write for 'fun' might be better. I might be better off even doing a bunch of quick short stories.

- Once the unknown 'in betweener' book is done, I switch over the SA 9.

That's the rough schedule until at least mid-April/May or so. 

It's worth noting that my plan is to ONLY write 4 books next year in total. So, that's basically - Thousand Li 3, unknown book, System Apocalypse 9, unknown book, Thousand Li 4. That's a book every 3 months, which is a much slower pace than this year. I might write more (who are we kidding, I likely will write more); but I don't want to PLAN for it. 

I also have a few other conventions I plan to do to keep learning the business side of this entire endeavour:

- A Licensing Expo in Vegas in July/August

- The Indie Publisher Masterclass in mid-October or 20booksVegas

Other things that might happen:

- Nebula conference in May 28-31

- Worldcon July 29-Aug 2

- Dragoncon again. 

Back to the Question

What would you like me to do for the 100 patron goal? Should I even bother?
