    Eric Landreneau liked an update for A Beast Requires

    Happy Monday, y’all!


    First off, A Beast Requires is clinging to 10th Place in the Geek & Sundry Fantasy Contest, with 85 backers. Yea, it’s getting to that part of the campaign where every backer matters, so if you haven’t had the opportunity to back A Beast Requires yet, now is definitely the time. At 107 pre-orders, we’re almost halfway to the Quill goal, which is nice.

    So, dragons.

     

    I count myself lucky that so many of you following me are writers. We all know The Struggle. It doesn’t matter how many books you’ve written, or what sort of genre you write, all of our work starts with that first glimmer of an idea. We all cultivate that glimmer, scribbling in notebooks or banging away at a keyboard. We draft, and draft again, searching for beta readers, grammar checkers, and if we’re lucky, an editor. 

    While we are all at different places in our writing, we all remember that first book we poured our souls in. Mine was an absolute train wreck of a fantasy adventure, involving a book, a dog, and an angry teenage wizard. I loved it so much, but twenty years later I can look back and say with absolute certainty, it was a complete pile of words. We get better with every story. Hells, we get better with every draft, and we all know the joy that comes from finishing that final edit. But it’s not our final edit, and we all know the frustration and sadness that looms off in the distant horizon.

    I like writers. Actually, I like content creators, but I’m particularly biased towards writers. And cooks, but that’s an entirely different story. It’s why I’m so thankful so many writers follow me on Inkshares, and how I absolutely lose my shit when another writer backs A Beast Requires. We all know how rough it is, especially how rough an Inkshares campaign is, so it comes as a welcoming comfort every time one of likes the thing I struggled for. I will always try to back as many writers as I’m financially able to. Support means everything to a writer, especially when  you’re just starting out. There will always be The Struggle, and there will always be dragons, but none of us are ever truly going through all this alone.

      Eric Landreneau liked an update for Witherfist

      Hello, all! A quick Monday update to share that we’re now at 57 preorders! In just 6 orders time, we will be 25% funded and a quarter of the way to Witherfist being published.

      At the time of writing this, Witherfist is currently a nominee for the Epic Fantasy Syndicate’s monthly pick. The syndicate supports "Grand epic fantasy with magic, a fully immersive secondary world, and series potential -- stuff that will make Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and Wheel of Time fans tingle with excitement."

      It’s a real honour to be considered for the syndicate’s support and especially when there are so many brilliant fantasy books funding at the moment. I’ll write to you later this week to let you know what the outcome was!

        STRETCH GOOOOAALLL!!!

        Hello all! Good morning on this lovely Monday.

        Before my announcement, here’s a quick update on the funding progress: 1 week down, 16 orders in from two continents. I’m going international! And Beneath White Clouds is over 6% to Quill publication.

        Now, onto the fun stuff! It’s Monday Funday (gawd I’m such a dork) and I’ve got a stretch goal for you!
         

        Have you ever tried recording a video of yourself? Maybe made a book trailer or something? Total pain in the butt, isn’t it? At least, that’s the experience I had making the trailer for Beneath-- Hey! Are you even reading this? Stop looking at the kitty! Yes, he’s stretchy, I know, but this update is about me, not--

        What? His name is Cuddles. So, anyway, I’ve put together a--

        Yes, yes, he is a total shmooby-face. I know.

        Ok, It’s clear the kitty is giving you focus problems, so I’ll make this quick; If BWC gets 50 orders, I’ll release a blooper reel full of me totally failing at talking about the book. There. The end.
        ...
        Ok, ok. the blooper reel and another picture of Cuddles. Fine.
