It’s been fun, but...

Maybe you’ve noticed that I’ve suspended my funding campaign for The Underneath. I realized I had gotten ahead of myself and begun this campaign before it was ready. However, believe me when I say this isn’t the end for me, or for the Underneath. I’m pressing pause on marketing and selling the story, but I hope that someday it will be ready to take the next step in being published. 

Going through this campaign has taught me that it is very difficult to sell a project that is rough and unpolished. I wanted to fund the novel through the drafting process as an experiment, but it turned out to be much more of a challenge than I had anticipated. Such an undertaking is almost impossible for someone working full time. 

I will continue to write stories that I am passionate about. I have moved The Underneath back to the draft stage and I will continue to post updates for all of my readers. I would like to thank you guys for your interest in this idea. You have no idea how excited I get every time I see that I have a new follower.

I will also be participating in NaNoWriMo next month. My project, Treaty of Treason (working title) is already up on Inkshares. As of now, I have no plans to fund that story, as I’m just taking things as they come. I really just wanted to share with my readers what a NaNoWriMo first draft looks like for me (warning: not pretty!). So if you’d like to follow me on that journey, check it out. 

Thanks again for all of your support. I hope to bring The Underneath, or another project, back into funding mode in the future and I hope you’ll all still be with me when I do. For the people who preordered copies, Inkshares should be refunding you if they haven’t already. Please consider spending that money to support another project on Inkshares, as I know first hand now all the hard work authors do to get their novels fully funded. 

This isn’t the end!
