Hello everyone!
I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying my story so far. I can’t express how grateful I am to have 2,500 people following my story — that’s absolutely incredible! Thank you for your support and for giving my work a chance.
As much as I’d love to do this full-time and release chapters more frequently, I need to find a way to make a living from writing.
Why I’m Launching Patreon Now
My original plan was to launch Patreon after creating a solid backlog to offer:
$3 tier: 5 chapters ahead
$5 tier: 10 chapters ahead
$10 tier: 25 chapters ahead
Unfortunately, building that backlog has taken longer than expected due to my current writing pace and other responsibilities.
Some author friends also advised me that waiting too long, especially after the Rising Stars run on Royal Road, could make it much harder to build a successful Patreon. That advice really stuck with me and pushed me to launch my Patreon now, even if it feels unprepared and unfinished.
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
What I’m Offering Right Now
For the moment, I’ve simplified things with just two tiers:
$3 General Support Tier
$10 Tier: 10 chapters ahead
Up to Chapter 29 is already live on Patreon, and I’m working on editing and uploading the rest of the 10 advanced chapters over the next couple of days.
I know that 10 chapters might not feel like the best value for $10, but I wanted to offer something for those who want to read ahead and support me, even if it’s not ideal at this stage.
My Goals and the Future
If I can reach $1,000/month, I’ll be able to leave my part-time job and write full-time. Here’s what that would allow me to do:
Write 2 chapters a day
Upload 1 extra chapter daily ahead of Royal Road to Patreon
Build the backlog to fulfill my original vision (25 chapters ahead) within 2 weeks
At a minimum, I need $500/month to cover my debts and another $500/month basic living expenses. With enough support, I could even work toward offering 50 chapters ahead in the $10 tier in the future.
A Personal Note
Even if I don’t earn anything this month, I’ll keep working to build my backlog and fulfill my original vision, hopefully within the next month. However, your support now would give me tremendous confidence and help me through a difficult time in my life.
I’ll be honest: I’m at a challenging stage right now, and if I can’t earn at least $500/month, I’m not sure how I’ll move forward. Writing has become my passion and my hope for a better future, and every bit of support brings me closer to making that a reality.
