I Finally Published Black Mithril: Volume 1 of Immortal Soul!

I initially planned to publish this way back in July, then got pushed to August, then I finally did it the other day, but then I made some mistakes… Like the paperback not having numbered pages or the hardcover’s cover art looking weird. As of writing this, the previews for both versions still look like they’re messed up in those ways. But as far as I know, it should be fine. The changes in review took a while, basically a day, but now they should be fixed. Hopefully lol.

Either way, I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna buy copies of my own book, again. For the first time in like… 7 years. Technically my brother bought a hardcover of The Diary of Destiny King and I signed it for him. My mother also signed as the illustrator. I took pics and stuff but I’m worried about posting them, because uh… Mysterious reasons.

Anyway, so the moral of the story is that I did it. I actually finally published Black Mithril after writing and posting it on Royal Road Legends like 10 years ago. Seriously, 10 years… 2014 feels like a lifetime ago, but I still remember it surprisingly clearly sometimes.

After Black Mithril, I’m going to be publishing Greenstone, Volume 1 of The Cursed Words, then 235, Volume 2 of The Cursed Words. At least I’m pretty sure that’s how I’ll do it. We’ll see what happens.

I’m editing HCOP to publish as well, but I’m not totally sure how I’m gonna do that. Might break it down into mini-books lol. Like Arcs, similar to how Manga do things. I mean, that’s how I originally wrote the story.

I’m not sure whether that would sell better or worse than big, chunky books, but the main reason for breaking up HCOP into smaller pieces is because of how ‘dangerous’ some of the content might be for Amazon Kindle. If you’re a fan, you know what I mean.

It’s the same reason I’m worried about trying to publish Danica’s Monster on Kindle, which is a smut that includes necro, loads of gore, cannibalism, uh… That’s it, maybe? I guess it’s not that big of a deal. There’s definitely much worse on Amazon, but I’m still always afraid of getting hit by random bans or whatever. Heard too many horror stories about publishing on KDP.

I also made a Barnes and Noble account, and a Draft2Digital account, though I haven’t published anything on either site yet. Still mainly working on KDP since I’m more familiar with it.

Yep…

Oh hey, I made a blog.  Sigh, it took so much time and effort, but I still don’t really know what I’m doing lol.

Well, I managed to separate the chapters into four pages, based on volumes.  When I tried to place them in individual pages, I reached some kind of limit on the amount of times I could parent pages in Act Two… which didn’t really make sense to me, but whatever.

If I can figure out how to get it to work later, I’ll change things… though I might still keep the full volumes the way they are for the people who prefer to read them that way… plus it took a lot of effort for me to set up all the links and stuff :(.

Anyway, that’s pretty much it, I’m not done writing chapter five yet, but on the positive side of things, I have a pretty solid idea about how the rest of this Act will play out now.  It will most likely be an 11 chapter volume, and probably the longest so far.

Fun fact I discovered because wordpress gives you wordcounts of everything, my whole story so far is over 260,000 words.  Volume One was 74k, Volume Two was 83k, Volume Three was 66k, and what I’ve written of Volume Four so far is up to 38k.

I’ll probably make a character sheet on this site when I have time, there are lots of characters… and other things that I would like to talk about.  I’m still going to post chapters on Royal Road, but aside from that, it’s kind of difficult to post things beside chapters there.

For example: Here’s a link to Animenz playing a piano cover of This Game the theme song from No Game No Life.

Question: Why did I link that?

Answer: Because I can, and I enjoy listening to piano covers of anime theme songs.

Okay, before I start linking videos of Tigers Eating Catnip… never-mind, it’s already too late.

Ah, Youtube, how did we survive before the internet anyway?
