Well October kind of sucked. I had difficulties, both physically and emotionally, and it really fucked me up for a little bit there. I’ve emotionally evened out, and physically I still have to figure out. Yet more new problems that have no obvious cause and hurt. Yay.
Anyway, onto the writing.
GOBLIN GIRLS DO IT BETTER - THE COMPLETE TRILOGY
Those are the things I managed to get out last month! To expand a little…
The omnibus of Goblin Girls Do It Better contains a single bonus short, for those interested in that. There was a delay in the audiobook for Goblin Girls Do It Better III and I’m still not sure how that’s going, except to say that it’s still delayed. I’m hoping it’ll be out this month. At some point next year (I think, don’t quote me) the audio omnibus will come out and then that will be the last thing needed to consider this trilogy fully finished.
So I’ve been wanting to write a monogamous romance (or mono-romance) for a little while now. I took a poll earlier in the season and found out that people do very much want alternating perspectives between the man and the woman. Which I have very, very little experience with. So I decided to write a short story as bonus (and canon) content for Our Own Way. IMPORTANT NOTE: That story is completely free, even though it’s on my Patreon. You shouldn’t even have to sign up! I’m just using Patreon to host it. The story itself isn’t too long and is basically just a cozy night in about a week after Our Own Way 4 where Ellen and Chloe and Holly talk about Gabe. I’m hoping it turned out well.
I started work on Lakeside Cougars 2, like I said! And I did manage to get the bulk of the work done…in the technical sense that 51% is technically the bulk of a given work. It’s probably a little higher, but yeah. I had very much hoped to get like 80-90% of it written, but this month was…difficult for me. And unfortunately I’m not quite out of the woods yet.
Now, let’s discuss the upcoming month, because I have some interesting news!
Dead Freeze 2 should go up for a short pre-order very, very soon.
I only managed to get pre-production on Dead Freeze 3 done, something else sort of jumped up and took all my attention away.
This is the thing that took away my attention and the exciting news: I’ve begun work on my first mono-romance project! I’ve been finding that I want to do it more and more as time has gone on, and although I thought I had settled on what would be my first one, this completely different idea kind of just hit me like a bullet and I just got started writing it because I felt really inspired. And I also ordered a very expensive cover for it. Here’s what I’m willing to say about it right now: It’s set in the same universe as RAW, (though to quash hopes now, it doesn’t feature any direct cameos of anyone and is completely separate from RAW). It’s intended as a stand alone project, but if it does well, I can easily write a sequel. It will be about a 40-60 split between the male and female perspectives, the male perspective being the 60%. Finally: if you like the whole ‘larger, badass woman/smaller, shy guy’ dynamic, you are are REALLY going to like this one. The very last thing I’ll say is: this will follow all the same conventions and rules of haremlit. The only difference is that there will just be one girl. So basically, if you like my other work, you should like this one just fine. Because this one is a little more uncertain, I’m going to wait until I hit the 50% mark before I start posting early access to Patreon. Ideally, I’ll be able to get this published before 2025, but it’s kind of a wildcard and I have other things to get done so…we’ll see about that.
Lakeside Cougars 2 should be out this month. Unless there’s some massive boost in sales, I’ve decided that I’m going to keep Lakeside Cougars a trilogy. Honestly, it’s too similar to writing Our Own Way and it’s kind of burning me out having to keep up with both of them. Although…I guess, if I’m being honest, it isn’t impossible that I could go with a fourth one. We’ll see how I feel while writing Lakeside Cougars 3.
That’s what I got for now.
