Starting 2019 off right!
🕑 Added 2019-01-04 21:18:50 +0000 UTCFirst off, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!
Now, for serious business. So, as you know, there's an adv chapter of Savage Divinity out on Patreon (link here if you didn't know). I wanted to have a nice polished chapter for you all, but i spent three days and just finished one. Holiday Brain is still in full effect, and my attention span has withered away to nothing.
It's currently January 4th. Optimistically, if i can get my brain in gear and stick to my regular schedule, that means I can get 4 more chapters out by the 13th, and resume posting to RRL on January 15th. 5 advance chapters for Patreon, that's the dream. Cough, goal, I mean. I'll also settle for 3, but I digress.
Anywho, my initial thought was to spread them out at $1 tiers. As in, $1 a month means you're always 1 ch ahead of release, $2 a month means you're 2chs ahead, etc etc. But when I thought about making so many gddamned posts and keeping up with it every time I post, I kinda died a little inside. So here's what's probably going to happen. I'm just gonna put them in the $1 and $5 tier. If I only have 3 chs, then I'll MAKE a $3 tier, but otherwise, i'm gonna stick with 1 & 5 cuz I'm lazy. I'm hoping to find time for more extra chs to reward the $10 tier, but I'll be honest: That's more of a pipe dream than actual possibility.
Yes, this means many of you in the $1 will now have a week and a half wait before the next chapter, but the alternative was to start at the $5 tier and work my way down, which now that I think about it might have been a better way to go about it but... er... fuck.
Sorry, but this is how it is. I obviously did not think it through before posting. I'm a writer, not a businessman goddammit.
Err, so yea. With luck, there will be another ch on Sunday.
As a final note, please keep a lid on the existence of adv chapters until I announce them on my return to RRL. I'd like to have them ready before saying anything about it.
Also, please don't spoil things for other readers. I may have to make separate channels to the tiers to avoid this, but we shall see. All this is just my thoughts on the matter, so if you have a suggestion, then feel free to share it in the comments or on discord.
Thanks again for all your support, and here's to 2019: may it be better than 2018. A low bar to set, I know, but god do I need this...

nope, sorry.

Do you have any hard copies for sale?
mm, personally, I wish I could do 5 chapters a week, so cutting down to 2 would be too demoralizing.
Like... Zero homo at all? What about Homo Sapien? :P Humans loving humans. Totes Homo.
Tentative is best. Promise nothing so they'll be surprised when you actually do something. that's how I approach life :P

Hey Ho, Ruffo. Can we tell em plebs WHEN you're comin back? They kinda feel restless right now without a concrete date to get some hype up. Unless you wanna keep it tentative in case you needs more time for editing or writing (or rather, procrastinatin).

I agree with Terry here. Hell that's the whole reason I donate to you. In the hope that the little bit of extra money will give you the resources needed to edit the first book and get it on Kindle.

Hey Ruff. If you want to put more focus on Patreon you could slow down your RRL release rate to build a larger buffer, ie only do 2 chapters a week on RRL and every week you do this you end up with Patreon being a further chapter ahead.

I Love you matey, no homo.

Hey ya mate, personally I say don't worry too much about the advance chapters, the progress of Savage Divinity is so amazing so far, don't spoil it. Personally, I would say that any time you are spending on Advanced Chapter Writing should instead be spent on planning how to release this behemoth of a novel onto the kindle.
