When the Constellations Shine, Why Not Add One More Star?

I'd actually always wanted to make a standalone post and chat with everyone.

But as an online novel author, I had to write four, five, six thousand—or even eight or nine thousand—words every day. After posting an update, the momentum I'd painstakingly built up usually vanished at just the right moment.

As long as the royalties could buy me a couple of meals, then I could keep writing this book—because this was something I genuinely loved, not a business I could discard at any time.

But they couldn't exactly be called bad either.

But perhaps it
