NEW Features!
New Section: Free to Read: Trying something new! If you’re accessing Author’s Notes via the website, you may notice a new section on our navigation bar called Free to Read. Just like it says on the tin, this contains all the articles that are free for anyone to read, and I highly encourage you to share them with friends if you can!
Free Content Guide: Pinned at the top of the new Free to Read section is a guide for anything you can read without spending a dime! This excludes Mythic, which has its own section.
New Free Content Upcoming: From now on, another type of content that may be posted every other Monday is Seventh Moon’s Rise and accompanying breakdowns of what I would do differently. For anyone that doesn’t know (which is most of you, I’d assume), The Seventh Moon’s Rise was a book I wrote in my freshman year of high school at age 14-15.
I never ended up pursuing publishing with it, but I do want to use it as a learning and teaching opportunity for my free readers. The story will be posted with only light editing from its original version, meaning the only things I will change are 1. typos, 2. grammatical errors, and 3. paragraph breakup.
From there I’ll also release a breakdown of the content, talking about any behind-the-scenes knowledge that might be interesting, as well as the kinds of things I’d do differently and how my writing style has changed in the ~8 years since this was written. Notably, this story will most likely not see a fully published release unless readers are vocal about wanting a physical copy. So if you want one, you’ll have to make your voice heard!
The first story release is slated for tomorrow, October 3, containing the story’s prologue.
