Hello,
This is an update post, and probably not one people will like too much so I’ll keep it relatively brief.
Firstly, I am fine!
Life has been busy, between working as a nurse through the pandemic, to dealing with a toddler, now with another one on the way.
The reason I am updating now is to say that I am writing again, but it’s not braindead.
The difference with this new story is that Im approaching it semi professionally, with a 50k backlog of words and a patreon.
My goal this time is to show feasibility of writing as a job, either reducing my working hours or even becoming a full time author (though realistically i dont think im good enough to pull that off).
where does this leave Braindead?
Well… not ‘dead’ dead.
It is something I would like to revisit, but with a rewrite and relaunch in the future. If this happened it would be with a proper strategy in place to write it semi-professionally and monetize it so that I can justify the time spent writing it. Spending 3-4 hours writing every day is something i have to balance against my responsibilities as a dad and an adult.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Thank you all for supporting me, you hear a lot of horror stories about writing on royal road, but im glad that I never experienced any of that.
if anyone is interested my new story is below, if not i hope to see you again one day, when/if I reanimate Zed.
