Do you guys like the updates/random thoughts I shoot out occasionally, or would you rather I just post content?  You are the customer, and I want to give you what you pay for.  Just let me know in the poll.  Heck, if you want more random thoughts, that's okay too!  I can tell stories, discuss other series ideas, that kind of stuff.  I've even thought about setting a designated 30 minutes a few days a week for an open chat thread so everyone can talk, ask questions, or just hang out.  Vote to let me know what you think.

I like the occasional update as it lets us know your alive and what’s going on also if it helps you write or keep yourself going post as much as you like

I'm here to support you, so share whatever you want.

Share as much as you like. Just don't go George R.R. Martin or Patrick Rothfuss and make me wait years for a new book. That can be a bit much. Though if you get a movie or TV series out of it. I would be thrilled

I was actually contacted by an anime company out of Germany, of all places. They wanted to give me a one-time payment and zero creative content control, so I gave them a hard pass. I think they were low-balling me before I could finish the series, in the hopes that it would continue to sell well in European markets and they could cash in on the cheap. Most of the 'good' deals won't come until I finish the story, and they can see how everything is supposed to end. That, and breaking into the top 100 in the US market will definitely help. The highest I have made it is #125 in the States, so I got close, but not quite there. I made it into the 80s in the UK, but that market is so much smaller than the US that I made less from them, even though I was in the top 100.

Martin still hasn't finished his. So maybe they might let it slide once you get more books out. Hopefully just to feed my reading addiction and give me something to do while waiting for new books. Definitely like yours more than Game of Thrones though

Thanks! If my dreams were to come true, I would get an offer from Madhouse, the company that does One Punch Man and Hunter x Hunter. Just having their name on it would catapult me into the stratosphere of the anime industry. That would be like winning the lottery though, and I'm not quite *that* lucky.

I don't know. You definitely got the luck of the Irish so far. And you definitely have an addictive writing style so maybe you get there eventually

One of these days, maybe! To be honest, I'm still surprised people like my stuff most days. I also worry about multiple series being too similar to one another, since I put so much of my real-world experiences into what the characters go through. I have plenty to pull from, but eventually the real things will dry up, and I will have to invent pure fiction to fill in the gaps. My hope is that my skills as an author will have increased enough by then that no one will even notice. Perfect practice makes perfect.

I don't think you can run out of pure theater or entertainment and experience with what real life throws at people. Remember that some people thought Game of Thrones was a story of world history...with things like that happening I don't see how you run out of ideas. Without entering politics the ideas of conspiracy theorists definitely can be a gold mine. Maybe add a magic system, cultivation or game, or make the people normal. Just basic corporate and government interactions can be funny in books even if they are annoying in real life.
