June 5th- Something's Got To Give... sorry another schedule update
I'm not making as much progress this week as I want to. I can give you all kinds of reasons. Some of it is adjusting to our summer schedule. The kids are home, but I'm finding myself having to drive kids to football practice at 6 am, swim team, tutoring, and a host of other things, when I thought I was going to get more uninterrupted time at home. Some of it is still the emotional fall-out from the extended family problems which took me to Kentucky at the end of last month.
I'll get over it.
The other thing is something that I need to control. I'm such a people pleaser. I know that different ones of you are here for different stories and I want to give each of you a chapter every day in all of those stories.
But I'm not that good.
So...
I'm going to finish the chapter of Dragon Sorcerer 5 that I'm on. I will TRY my best to get 2 more chapters in it done this week.
Then next week I will focus entirely on Welcome to the Multiverse book 4- Resistance. It's the next one due to the editor.
I will plan to only write in it next week. I felt very alive today as I was writing those 2 chapters in Resistance. I need to lean into that.
If anyone feels cheated because they aren't getting Crystal Core chapters for at least 2 more weeks and probably 3 or because they won't be getting Dragon Sorcerer chapters after this week- likely for 2 weeks- then I will offer to refund your subscription.
I appreciate the support here, but Patreon is about connecting with readers not about trying to get your money and certainly not about having you join for one series but then not getting any chapters in it for a period of time.
Thank you for all of those who understand and if anyone does want a refund you can comment or message me directly if you want it to be private.
The plan remains to shift to Dragon Sorcerer as the primary story after Resistance is done with hopefully some chapters of Crystal Core started.

Multiverse is the only reason I am here so I am glad!
I understand that different series bring people here and that it can be hard when I rotate series, but I'm glad you're enjoying WtMV.
Rest up!
Agree with you do what you need! Also, Multiverse is a great story, why would anyone complain about more of it?
Hey man take it easy. You fire out alot of content as it is. Do you and I will be waiting when more crystal core comes rolling through. Shoot me a message some time
To be honest I don’t even read any of the chapters here, I’m just here to support. So you do what’s best for you mate and good luck with everything
So, this is not meant to pressure you at all, but I was wondering what your plans were for “Prism Academy.” I just finished it again and had forgotten how good it was. I am really looking forward to Rebirth and was just curious as to whether you think you will have a chance to get back to it anytime soon. Again, I realize you have to write on your own schedule, God knows I have to. Edit: Heh, kind of off-topic, isn’t this. Just wanted to echo everyone else. Do what you need to do.
I’m not sure why but I’m unable to open messaging anymore
Hmm... not sure.
We're good here. 👍 I really enjoy your work. Rock on. If I ever drop it will be finances. Fixed income here. I only support a few authors. I haven’t even started DS or CC. I look forward to it. Thanks for the communication. ❤️
I like your productivity, but I’m not paying for early access to chapters with the expectation that you give me the content I’m most interested in (it is DS, just saying but CC is also awesome) on a certain schedule. I’m not counting words, just supporting and I’m happy to read the early access content. Also, you’re very responsive to patrons, so there’s a plus. Basically, don’t sweat anything. Some people only give people a single chapter from a single story per week, and there is nothing wrong with that, either. We choose to pay to read what you put out or not, so how much you put out should be largely of your volition and drive.
I appreciate the support both financially, but perhaps even more with the kind words.
No problem man. I do have to, for totally unrelated reasons have to switch to a lower tier temporarily because of my situation, but I am not at all upset about you having to focus on WTTMV. I have not and will not ever complain about the lack of chapter releases for the books I currently follow from you. I hope people aren't giving you a hard time over this. You work really hard and push out a crazy amount of words per week, so if people are then that is pretty insane. Don't stress, you don't gotta worry about me asking for a refund or any nonsense like that. I became a patron because I wanted to help support your work. Chapters and anything else is just extra as far as i'm concerned.
I greatly appreciate the support. Patreon was never truly about money for me as much as it was about connecting with fans.
You’re good, man; Don’t sweat it. Family always comes first. Amazing chapters this week. I would rather have meaningful content as you can write it rather than fluff chapters that don’t add to the plot or character development. Too many Patreon authors churn out empty words - you write high impact content even if it isn’t daily in my preferred story (WttMV). Keep up the good work, squeezed between being a good dad.
I agree. With all of that. 👍🔥
Anyone who is in this just for chapters should buy the book. I’m here because I my financial situation allows me to support you and you are working on one or more series I enjoy reading. My support will stop if you stop creating content I enjoy (series finishes and nothing you are working on takes its place after a couple of months) or my financial situation deteriorates preventing me from being able to support you. It is highly unlikely that my support will end without changes to my financial situation without you stopping entirely. You are an awesome writer and even if my favorite series is not what you are actively working on you have my support.
No refunds necessary you deliver more than most others I have on patreon so take your time
I signed up knowing I wouldn't always be getting "my" book. I'll support anyone with the sort of crazy writing schedule you seem to
No refund necessary for me. Writing is art and sometimes art is messy. 💕
