Future Plans (I Don’t Have Any!)

So we were supposed to have a new blog yesterday, and we didn’t. Sorry. It’s been a chaotic few weeks, releasing a book and doing nanowrimo at the same time, while trying to sort out major home renovations, and I didn’t realize until this morning that I’d never written a blog. I have several plans for upcoming blogs, but none I can throw together right now. So we’re just gonna talk a little.


I have a Patreon page. (Which this will be cross-posted on, so if you’re reading this on Patreon thinking, well, obviously, that’s why.) it’s not much of a Patreon page. Blogs go up a little earlier there, and there are monthly updates and occasional previews, writing snippets, photos of cover-design-in-progress, etc.


So I know I need to do more with my Patreon, and really I just need to produce more content in general. Because you can’t actually build a career as an author just by writing books - you have to give people a reason to be interested in your books, when you’re not working with a mainstream publisher and are your own media manager.


But media management is hard.


So I’d like to know what you’d like to see - more or more specific fairy tale rant/essay things? Videos? More specific talk about writing projects? I just don’t really know what to do with myself a lot of the time, so I’d love to hear what kind of content you would like to consume in the new year.
