2023 plans (WotR, etc.) (Patreon)

So it occurred to me that the end of book 2 of ISM is rapidly approaching, and it's been long enough since I mentioned my plans that there's a lot of people that haven't got word.

So, at some point, I'm contractually obligated to write and release book 4 of Wake of the Ravager.

I'd like to get that done by the end of 2023, so I have a clear plate for other projects.

The issue that I'm still waffling on is whether to drop everything and smash out book 4 ASAP, or make it a side project.

I realize that by this point a large fraction of my Patrons have never read Wake of the Ravager, and dropping everything cold turkey to release chapters halfway through book four would be...inconsiderate.

I could make it a side project and release a chapter or two a month while devoting the majority of my time to another project. I don't have anyone breathing down my neck quite yet, and half of the book is already written, so I could afford to take quite a while with WotR That would be a bit harder on me, juggling series, but wouldn't leave quite so many people out in the cold.

Speaking of another project, if I were to do that, what would you guys prefer as the primary?  ISM 3, Stitched Worlds 5, or something new? I've got a couple ideas on the backboiler:

Epic revenge Story
or
an actual card-based LitRPG.



I mean, I know most of you are here for ISM, so I'm fairly confident that's gonna win overwhelmingly, but I thought it would be fun to ask.

Let me know your thoughts and opinions below.
