May Update (Not A Chapter) - No Chapters 5/8-5/19 (Patreon)
Content
Hey everyone,
It's that time again. For those that missed it, there'll be no chapters 5/8 to 5/19, a combination of me getting stuck with Jury Duty and a little vacation. How much vacation I get will depend on my luck! June should be without breaks, but then I will be having a real vacation in July with the family for the first two weeks.
Did everyone enjoy the Life's Haven assault? It was a little hectic, and I will end up cleaning it with a fine-toothed comb before the eventual book release. I hope that for the most part, everyone enjoyed the ride.
Some stats:
Words Released In April: 47k
Words Written in April: ~50k. Currently, I'm at 97k through Book 4.
I spent way too much time on the f5 machine and monitoring my Book 1 Release on Amazon. It hurt my productivity, more than I imagined it would. I plan on pulling Book 2 from Patreon/RR/Scribblehub in the coming weeks, as Book 2 Launches on June 1st.
So far, I only have 1 bonus chapter written out of two for book 2's release, and have already done some major sweeping changes to book 2. I'll be sharing both when I finish them. More to come, and I hope you guys enjoy it when I release it.
I also have for book 3 I haven't inserted the final explicit scene, that is supposed to be with Fhesiah and Bloodberri(and Jake of course), that is meant to be placed between Chapter 25 and Interlude 3 with Vesuvius. It was why Fhesiah was in 'such a good mood.'
Just so everyone is aware, I plan on making a big change to book 3's scene, where Bloodberri meets with Echidna. I am probably going to take out the monster children thing, aside from lamia or echidna-style children(even that will be a softer version than herself, just like Bloodberri will be). I had always had demi-human children in mind anyway(in terms of what she would actually have, or what readers would really see), but this was certainly not clear from the text. This changes the context of the whole scene, and makes it not nearly as dramatic.
I hope people are not too upset with such a large change that influences the story, as most of the other changes I've made to it (since patreon) have been relatively minor. What do you think?
