NOVEL NEXT Day 1: Nothing Changes, Everything Changes
My first book is up on Amazon and Audible. Very exciting to see it. More volumes will follow and Butcher of Gadobhra as well, so very exciting for me. Also stressful. I thought I'd gotten over Imposter Syndrome long ago, but it hit hard this last week while waiting for the book to go up. Now I just pray that the wider world likes it as much as you fine people do.
And I could use your help. If you don't mind running over to Amazon and leaving a review or a rating, I'd be eternally grateful. The better a book does, the more Amazon pushes it, which can have a big effect on sales. Reviews/ratings help a lot.
And if you have KU or have spent 50 dollars on anything from Amazon in the last year, you can leave a rating without buying the book.

So what changes? It feels like things have changed, but really, not a whole lot. I don't yet have an endpoint for either story, I love writing them and would be sad to quit. You can look forward to two chapters a week from each book, maybe more. This is a different route than most authors take. RR is a different type of animal that many are trying to figure out. Many established authors are trying their hand at Litrpg since the genre is growing in popularity. I've seen some authors post to RR, and then pull down the story as soon as they can to send to Amazon. They write books, I write webserials. There's a difference. I'm very glad people have had three years to read Milo's early adventures.
Maybe it's my background in comic books, but I love long stories and telling a continuing one, instead of focusing on a set plot that ends conveniently to tie things up in a book. (Also the reason I love cliffhangers, as many of you have noticed.)
What does change as my books go to Amazon (and hopefully sell) is that I can spend more time writing, and less time at my other job. College is a struggle to pay for and I have to get the twins through the next four years. Another reason I won't quit writing anytime soon. :)
