It'll go on sale at midnight on December 1. There might be a delay of a few minutes—possibly even ten or twenty. That's how it's gone in my experience.
On launch day, I'll post at midnight. On regular days, I'll post at 9 a.m.
My first few books all went up in the middle of the night. I wanted this one to start off with a fresh look, so I'm done staying up late, starting from the new-book period!!!
I don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up, but at least my resolve is firm and I'm full of confidence. I feel like I can stick with it until the book is finished (speaking loudly).
I saw readers asking me to write a multiverse story. I've talked about this before: I've already finished three infinite-world stories, and I'm out of ideas.
Also, I'm not writing original stories for the copyright. I'm not capable of that. I just want to write. If I don't, I feel awful, like something's crawling inside me.
And no, I haven't sold my account, and my writing style won't change. I just haven't touched a keyboard in four months, so the righteousness deep in my bones has suppressed the improper style that was itching to come out. Longtime readers know I'm a thoroughly upright person by nature. The fact that I'm full of righteousness is purely to give everyone what they want!
As an author who's all about having fun, I never spread negativity. I can put up with this little grievance, so I won't complain about it here. I'm sure everyone understands; I just can't resist teasing about it.
As I've said, my writing style won't change. Life's hard enough as it is. You're reading a novel to unwind, so why would I write a bunch of upsetting plotlines? Wouldn't it be better if we all had fun?
Enough chit-chat. I'll save some time and get writing, and try to make a big splash when the book goes on sale.
I checked my backlog and think I can put out a lot. I'll post the exact number tonight, so I won't spoil it here. If you're happy with tomorrow's update, just send a couple more monthly tickets.
I'm not particularly concerned about tips and such. I've said before that subscribing is support enough. If you like the book, feel free to tip, but please stay within your means. After all, I won't be adding extra chapters; the daily update will be the same either way.
As for a reader group, there won't be one, no matter what. So please stop asking.
A laid-back author, lying down while updating.
The daily word count for this book can't be like the last one. That one left me completely overwhelmed. Every day felt like finishing an assignment. I want to make the story more fun, but I'll have to work up to seven or eight thousand words a day.
