October Recap (Patreon)

Whoa! What a month October has been for my Patreon. I put up an audio chapter, did four scene requests—including two of gay porn, which is waaay out of my comfort zone—came up with a title and ship name for the next Tori book, brainstormed with you guys, and finished up the main thread to my next mystery. I posted a whopping 36k words this month.

Whoa.

While I'm talking about Tori, I want to mention that I hope no one is disappointed in the Tori scenes I've posted. I know that various readers replied with things that they didn't like about the ending, but to reiterate, this is a perfectly normal part of the process. No one ever likes the first ending I come up with for a book, but it's incredibly valuable for me to get a mediocre ending out there first, get feedback on it, and then bang it into shape. This is how we do it. Editing is where we turn an okay story into a great one, and we will make it great before it lands in print.

So, what's up for November?

Scene requests, obviously. I'll post the prompt in a moment and I'll work my way through them. So far, I've managed to do one for each requester every month. I do hope I'll be able to continue completing them, but obviously I can make no promises. If I get swamped by requests or other responsibilities (or suffer burn-out) then I may fall short, but I will always try.

The second thread for the Tori story will be the Boots tale. Now that I know where Tori's story has gone, I'm hoping I'll be able to write a second thread to compliment it and plan to work on that this month.

Voting! All adults in the USA should go and vote on Tuesday if you haven't already. Please. This country is in desperate need of a regime change.

Thanks again for your unending support. I've been having a great time entertaining you and I'm looking forward to doing it again in November. Stay safe and wear a mask that covers your nose.
