Howdy Symphony Patrons!
Quick update here so you know what's going on with everything.
Book 1, as you saw this week, is complete. I sent it over to Podium, along with my author's notes, pronunciation guide (its REE-ME, not RYE-MY), and a breakdown of how the chapters should work with Journals and Scriptures.
I'm currently writing the final chapters for Book 3. Had a holdup as I tried to figure something out, but my beta readers came in, capes a flapping, and helped me out.
I'm also currently planning out how book four's middle section will go (ending already done), as well as The Boy and the Stick (Novella about Mr. Nobody), and the first book of Grey.
The image above is for a sticker I commissioned. You can guess who it is. My thought is to provide new versions every so often and attach them as Patreon merch additions. For those who don't know, Patreon merch is given to Patrons after reaching certain criteria. For the sticker, you'd have to be a Tier 2 Patron for 3 months to receive it. I don't know if it works retroactively, but I hope so.
Also, it doesn't cost you anything. The cost is taken directly from the authors earnings, meaning I get a little less of a bump from the Patron for a month, but that's worth it by far to me.
That's only the first. Stickers will go to Tier 2's, Shirts (when I have them done) to Tier 3's, and I'm working on something special for my Tier 4's when I get that up and running.
I am also in the process of updating and upgrading my website www.abnormalvaverage.com I don't talk about it too often, but eventually, it'll be a big deal for me. Right now I primarily use it for talking about my writing, future big announcements, and interviews and discussions I have with other authors. It's still a bit messy, but I'm hoping to get it into shape while I'm editing Book 2.
That's all from me! Should have a new chapter out tomorrow, and I'm hoping to get two more out after that before the end of the weekend. Thanks for hanging with me, and I hope you're having a nice end of summer.
