For the month of July... (Patreon)

You are all the best Patrons ever so, rather than decide to do things on my own, I'd like to get your opinion on what you'd like to read next month.

After reading everyone's excellent suggestions, I've mostly decided what I'd like to do for July but I'm considering a few options.

Firstly, I have about 2.5 parts worth of content left for story 9. I was considering pushing myself to get it out in 2 parts, but I would rather get it out in three. The last part would be around 1k-1.2k words and posted July 7th (so I would only take a half week off instead of a full week). Frankly, this works out better for me because large chapters take more time and mental energy to edit. Also, I don't feel like I can edit them to the quality they deserve.

Since that doesn't feel like enough for that week, I'll also post a short non-spoilery synopsis of the general direction story 10 will take and ask you all for things you'd like to see happen. If it's something that fits in with my plans or is just plain fun, I'll add it to my outline!

With the first week (July 7th) being taken care of, that leaves the two weeks I'll need to write story 10. July 14th and July 21st. 

So that I can focus on getting the story out with fewer distractions, I won't post anything on July 14, except for some artwork I'm commissioning and the Story 10 Cover I'm working on. Maybe I can add a few snippets of some WIP lines from story 10, as well.

That leaves the week of July 21st. By that point, I will have a good chunk of Story 10 written (but probably not all of it since I think it will be a massive story). I can do two things here. I can either edit a short chapter (like I'm planning to for July 7th), I can write a vignette about Early Rise Swift Brush and his Dao of Paperwork followers, or I can write a vignette about Clear Eyes Mad Tongue and the mission Lin didn't want him to take.

By the 28th, I'll be back to doing regular chapters, one way or another.

I decided against pausing this Patreon and taking all of July off because, frankly, I work better under pressure. Knowing that you're all supporting me and waiting impatiently for more content inspires me to get my shit done.

So, which would you like to see on the 21st?
