This isn’t super short, but it IS an important announcement.

Thank you to everyone who clicked follow here and there for Blurred Weaponry. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, I have to remove myself from Inkshares as a writer and release projects independently for now. The reason is simple: I’m god-awful at this. I can’t sell myself or my work for the life of me, and couldn’t even give the book away and have people take it. I was planning on spending a couple thousand dollars just for this first novel in advertising with the HOPES of getting the measly 250 copies ordered for Quill, but what if I didn’t make it because I’m terrible at hammering home sales? That thought, and potential extreme loss of cash, drove me away from pretending to be salesman.

[Blah blah blah, deleted second paragraph full of justifications because who cares, and now moving on…]

In any case, I’ll still be on Inkshares. I’ll be writing a review here and there, about every ten days (I’ll be doing one later tonight), supporting a syndicate, sharing via twitter, and liking pages / posting comments on Facebook. I like this platform, and love the chance it gives to authors who are better at being salesfolk than I can ever be, so I’m not really going anywhere (honestly, I’ll be way more active thanks to reviews than I ever was while updating since I never had anything to say).

On a final note, Blurred Weaponry will be out in like 3 weeks. I’ll have a very temporary download link up (I mean, seriously, 24 hours at most) for free copies to Inkshares followers / authors if they DM me on twitter when I announce that. My next update will be about then, and should also include the reviews I’ve done (if they were accepted ^_^) and links to those projects.

May the words be with you. Also, the force. That’s fairly important, sometimes. Peace out,
