So, continuing the week-long run of “I’ve got news and stuff to say!” here we are at Wednesday. And, to no one’s surprise, there’s still stuff going on.
So, today’s post? A financial update. Effectively, I’m tightening my belt and going into drought mode.
Just a heads up, readers, but Shadow of an Empire is now listed on Goodreads (alongside the rest of my books). Which means you can let Goodreads know that you’re planning on reading it or that you’re excited for it to come out. You can also recommend it to others on Goodreads and even (once it comes out) leave a star rating for it!
Attention Patreon Supporters!March’s Supporter Reward is now up! If you are a Patreon Supporter, then you now have access to two moreAlpha chaptersfrom my upcoming Fantasy-Western release, Shadow of an Empire!
Link at the bottom to avoid spoilers.
This post is not for those of you who have not read Shadow of an Empire yet. Why? Because it’s full of spoilers. Or will be. I’m not going to be the one posting them.
Hey folks! I know, I know, you haven’t heard much from me lately. This week saw a Being a Better Writer post on Saturday, and that was it until now. But … I’ve had good reason.
Starforge is in the last five percent. Yes. It’s that close. So I’ve been just a little occupied. There’s a chance that maybe even next week it might be done. I’d be pumping out a lot of words a day, but there’s still a chance.
Hey folks! Remember what released almost two years ago today? That’s right! Shadow of an Empire is two years old on June 1st!
Patreon supporters take note: April’s supporter reward is now live. If you’ve donated the minimum amount of a dollar during the month of April, you can now take a look at this month’s nifty, behind the scenes look at one of the creatures from the in-progress Shadow of an Empire: the pack hunter creatures known as chort.
Here’s an excerpt from the reward:
Twelve hours! Less, actually, if memory serves on what timetable Amazon shifts over to the next day on.
Twelve hours until Shadow of an Empire falls into the waiting hands of the world. Woo! You guys should see me. I’ve got a serious adrenaline buzz going. It’s like this with every book release sure, but … the anticipation is real.
Hey readers! Got a pretty awesome treat for you all today!
You’ve seen the cover for Shadow of an Empire, right? That awesome, western vista done by Michal Kváč. Well, those close followers of the site may remember how I teased that it was wallpaper-sized. And those who were Patreon Supporters? They got the wallpaper sizes.
All right, guys. Time for a status update.
First of all, it's a good thing I got 20,000 words written last week, because I had more shifts than normal at my other job this week, and that's made this week quite a bit slower. In the end, I guess it balances out at neutral, aiming somewhere slightly north of 10k per week. Which is a lot less than my old, pre-second job standard, but still functional.
This one might be a little … scattered. Why? Well, I just got back from the dentist.
Those of you who supporting me on Patreon have something awesome to go look at! That's right, the January Supporter Reward is here, and it's following the vein of December's! Except in tardiness, naturally. It's here today.
Colony is now on sale for 63% off, and will be until August 17th! Purchases, reads on Kindle Unlimited, or reviews left all contribute to the final unlock of the sale, which will be a launch price discount for Shadow of an Empire later this year!
So ... just minutes ago, I typed out the final line of Shadow of an Empire.
That's right. It's done. After 14 straight hours of writing (one hour of which was finishing this week's BaBW) and 13,000 words, Shadow of an Empire is officially a complete Alpha 1 draft.
Tomorrow, I will celebrate. Sands, I'll do that right now! But it's finally DONE!
So, some final numbers for those curious.
Well guys, this is it, and here's proof for you all:
You don't have to ask about books and writing, just to be clear. But it helps, since that is the area of expertise I'm AMAing for.
Heads up, readers! Just a reminder that I will be doing a Reddit AMA tomorrow, starting at 1 PM Mountain Time, and I could really use your help getting some traction! So come, bring a question or two (about Shadow of an Empire, writing, or something else), upvote, and share the AMA! The more eyes it gets, the better an AMA it can become, so let’s get it some views!
Got some rough news before today’s Being a Better Writerfolks. Friday, June 1st, Shadow of an Empire launched (it is doing pretty well, by the way; have you read it yet?). Which meant Thursday night at midnight I was doing what I do when a new book comes out: sending out thank-you and reward copies.
