It’s 20 days into the competition, so I thought I’d send out an update!
There are now three chapters posted for your consumption. Please give them a read if you haven’t already - here are the individual links:
As far as the contest goes, Seven Shards has been steadily maintaining its spot in the top 50, which is phenomenal! YOU made that happen, so thank you! Thank you a million times over!
The strange thing about being in the top fifty is that it’s kind of in a grey area. There’s a long way to go to get to the top ten, yet it’s way too close not to try.
In pursuit of that goal, I’d like to ask each of you to give me yet another hand. Making posts on Facebook and shouting to the Twitter-verse only goes so far. The best way to get support is one-to-one. So I’m asking each of to find one other person (a housemate, a good friend, someone you know loves to read) and ask them to place a pre-order too.
Every single pre-order counts, and gaining more of them is the way this contest works. If each of you can bring one other person on board that would land Seven Shards in the top 25. If you each brought 2 or 3, well lookout top ten! We’d be knocking at their door! Your efforts can sway the fate of this project more drastically than you may realize. Please give it a shot!
One last nugget I’d like to share is the number 50. When we reach 50 pre-orders a new chapter will be posted. And when I reach the 50 thousand words mark I'll post a new chapter too. Things are looking close for both, so be on the lookout for two more chapters soon!
Thank you all again! And enjoy your weekend!
