Things you might want to know

Hey all, welcome to the patreon!

I figured I needed a place to tell you all about how things are going, and what my current plans are for Nero Walker and this patreon.  So, I decided to create this post.  I plan on updating it whenever there is something you guys need to know. There will also be monthly situation reports, usually around the middle of the month.

I'm going to be sticking to a M/W/F release schedule for the time being.  I typically consider the RR post the final edit.  Although at some point, I should go back and give it a thorough rewrite now that I have a little more experience.  I like the story the way it is, but sometimes my phrasing could use a little polish (massive understatement, I know). While the story is already in my head, I need to work on leveling up my 'storytelling' skill.

As for my writing process, I'm currently trying out google docs and the basic grammarly editor to catch any simple mistakes. Perhaps, in the future, I'll upgrade to some professional editing software, but I doubt it. I'm just one of those weird people that is creeped out by AI's.

Right now I'm near the end of book 3, but a lot of editing needs to happen before I can get those chapters posted.  I've been conservative with my early access, because I don't want to fail to live up to the promise I made to you all.  Rest assured, you don't have to worry about me missing a deadline.  I always hated that when I was in your shoes.

New chapters will be automatically posted at 5:30 CST for RR and my highest patreon tier.  I have to manually update the permissions for apprentice, and adept tier, so they might happen a little earlier or later than 5:30 CST.  In the future, I might switch to batch releases for the week.  Like that week's chapter being released on Sunday, so I don't have to do it manually.  It's been recommended to me, but I'm not sure if you all would be cool with that.

As for my other story ideas, I just posted them because I kept getting ideas about what was happening in the world I envisioned.  I have this large universe in my head, and there is so much I want to explore.  I don't have any immediate plans to work on those stories, but I'll occasionally drop some chapters.  Please let me know what you think of them.

I'm really grateful for you guys signing up, it's awesome that people appreciate the world I built.  There is so much more to see, and I'm looking forward to getting Nero out into the world and into some action.  I like the idea of Nero gradually exploring the world, and seeing crazy things that we only dream of.  The application of game and fantasy mechanics is just too fun to play around with.

Regardless, thank you all for supporting my efforts to share this story.

That being said, please remember to share a review on Royal Road for me.  Positive reviews will help me a ton.

Humbly grateful,

L.S.
