Early Access For a New Story?
Added 2025-09-28 07:27:16 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
It's been a month back at my day job, and as I feared, it has impacted my writing. Many of you have noted the recent chapters feel rushed, and you're right. The drop in our membership reflects this, and while it pains me to see people go, I completely understand. You deserve quality content at a consistent schedule.
To those of you who have stayed: your continued support means the world to me. And I want to offer more than just words of thanks this time.
My goal is to become a full-time writer, even though now I have to support myself mostly through my day job. The most intense months are October to January (so basically the next 100 days or so), but afterwards I'd have time for daily writing again.
For January: I'm already developing my next book. But instead of writing it alone this time like The Invincible Bastard, I want to invite you all to be my Beta Readers for this new project. You'll get raw chapters as they're written and have a direct hand in shaping the story. Who better to help than those who have supported me from the very beginning?
The new story is a LitRPG with dragons, money, and social commentary.
The idea is still to keep updating The Invincible Bastard, while working on the new book whenever I can. The release schedule would still be two chapters per week, but combined. Hopefully, I could manage more than that, but I don't want to overpromise and underdeliver in light of my day job situation.
Currently, I have chapter one of the new story ready for release. Let me know in the comment section if you're interested.

After reading your comment, I'm actually thinking about a pause in billings to address this situation. Since I am still in the fanbase-building phase of my career, having people here would mean a lot more to me than the actual income. That way, you still get to read the stories while giving me feedback without the commitments. And once I could do daily update again, I'll announce it and resume the billing.

2025-09-28 15:27:41 +0000 UTCSometimes new stories hit and sometimes they don't. Could take 5 or 6 books before one really takes off. I'm personally really enjoying the Invincible Bastard, but the chapter output rate isn't enough for me to maintain a sub. For $10 a month I'm looking to see a chapter a day at least 5 days a week. Not every author can hit that sort of quota and that's fine. Just my 2 cents.
