The mid-February state of things! · 1:13pm Feb 14th, 2017
Hello my little angels 
Once more it is time for a blog post kind of thingy! I need more practice to do these more regularly.
My last one was on the 1st of February and was announcing some things like me cautiously opening up a Patreon to use as a kind of a tip jar, even though I have added a new tier to it. As well as sharing my new year’s resolutions and so far I have managed to keep them for this month. With the major release this month being “The Chains That Bind Us” chapter 2, which was a bit shorter than I had said but it was also at a good cut off point.
In hindsight putting a 15,000 word minimum on a chapter was perhaps not the best idea I have ever had. Although I am pretty sure length won’t be dropping below 10,000 words a chapter, we will see with chapters 3 and 4 which I have already planned out.
At the beginning of the month I also teased a little thing called “The Life of a Songbird”. Now this is a project that I am looking forwards to so much. I have finished planning the entire thing and it will be a 5 chapter affair or well 7 if you include the prologue and epilogue that will be included.
I have already started work on the story, though I am still pondering on how to handle it. A part of me wants to simply write the entire thing and release it entirely finished. But maybe I will release the story chapter by chapter much like I am doing for “The Chains That Bind Us”. This is actually something I want your input on, so please leave in the comments which you prefer? Personally I am leaning to doing a full release so you can enjoy all the chapters rather than having to wait.
Next up though I have a short little Clocktower Society story upcoming called “The Session of a Lifetime”. It’s a short that I had written a while back now. Actually I wrote it on the 27th of November 2016 as a one off thing though I didn’t quite finish it until last week. It’s going up on the Patreon for early access either Wednesday the 15th and will be live on FimFiction once the cover art has been done by the Lovely Manifest Harmony. So look out for that appearing on FimFiction somewhere next week.
Lastly there is the matter of “From Dusk to Twilight” which I was planning to release a while back. It’s still there and it Is still coming. I might release the prologue and chapter one as is and see how people like it. But it is going to wait until I have finished Songbird (even though I might add bits to it every now and then to diversify my writing a little)
Anyhow, that is me done.
Have a nice day my little angels
Updating things is how you reach wider audiences, but all at once IS nice. You could do updated but with a tight-ish schedule.
The way my life is put together, I tend to end up reading off and on throughout each day, so ongoing updates in small chunks actually ends up working out better. But I'm weird.
Cynewulf has an excellent point. If you just dump the full thing at the end, you get one good shot at significant exposure. If you post chapters as you get them done, people who didn't notice the first post may notice later ones.

Mhm I'll be releasing it chapter by chapter then, everyone I know is basically saying the same. Thank you both for your input
