Getting exciting, now. We’re approaching the end of //016, the end of vol//002 in general. These scenes lead right into the finale, which posts next week. I am a horrible person for ending it where I did, I’ll warn you. The Echo Chamber is opening…
So, what happens next? That’s a good question.
We’ve drawn a hell of a lot of new readers thanks to the linkage discussed previously. I’d hate to lose that momentum by pausing the writing, but I AM finishing up a whole volume here; that means a lot of administrivia and preproduction work to deal with, to wrap up this book and get it published, to plan out the next book. The next one’s gonna be a bit of a doozy, and you’ll understand exactly why when the HOLY CRAP moment hits next week.
That means I’ll likely take a week, two weeks, possibly a month off so I can get vol//003 planned. Now, that may actually work to my advantage, as it means new readers get plenty of time to catch up and read two complete volumes worth of stuff. I might even start up my advertising campaign (Kickstarter funded!) in that time. We’ll see.
Even if I’m going dark, I’ll try to have some blog material up each week to keep you up to date on my progress, and discuss the series in general. I’m always up for discussion; either on my blog, or on the story pages themselves, or through social media. I am reachable. Reach me if you have any questions or musings you want to relate, and I welcome all feedback on the writing.
Here we go, folks. A big finale, and the start of something bigger. Closer and closer…
In my experience the ficrec crowd tends to binge. So they’ll mostly be through both volumes in two weeks, tops (probably one). Perhaps you should link to your past works periodically through your administrivia period?
A fine suggestion. I believe I shall do that.
