An (Overdue) Update (And Questions)
Added 2023-05-23 23:38:22 +0000 UTCHey everyone! It's been a second since my last update. Life has been VERY crazy for me, but I've finally left one of my jobs, and am settling into something of a routine.
If y'all recall, I was stuck on The Abjurer at about 25k for a while, but in the last two weeks, I've managed to get it up to 39k! I must say, I'm pretty dang happy! The gears are really rolling there
Mana Mirror has been running smoothly, especially since I've gotten my laptop back up, and so I wanted to ask you all something. Okay... Two somethings.
What would you think about a small increase to the number of chapters? I'm not promising to spit out two EVERY week, but maybe I could guarantee a Wednesday release (like I am now), and hopefully get you at least two extra chapters a month, on slightly more random days.
The other question: What do you all think about me increasing the rate at which I release free chapters on Royal Road? Currently, I am releasing one chapter a month. I've been thinking about making it every two weeks. Do you have thoughts? Would this devalue Patreon to you all? Or would it be fun to see more engagement with free chapters?
Soooo... Yeah! :)

Thank you! Only one more job to leave and I'll be full time author!

2023-05-24 00:33:52 +0000 UTCYou need buzz and money the royal road releases are an obvious way to drum up the second wave hopefully the later. As long as Patreon remains ahead I am fine.
support!

2023-05-23 23:50:22 +0000 UTCAs long as patreon remains a set amount of chapters ahead of RR it does not devalue the Patreon for me personally. On top of that you interact with patreon comments in a way that adds value anyway. Glad to hear you are finding a balance in your routine.
