Update, the First
Welcome to Ink Raindrops, everyone! Today marks the first official IR update. I took the three votes that I received last month into account for this month, so there is a new chapter of Liar’s Dice and a new chapter of The End available for your perusal as of today. It’s nice to see my audience agrees with my own assessment, since those were the two that I most wanted to work on, and probably would have chosen even without the votes! I can’t wait to see what you pick for next month! And thank you, so very much, for voting. I appreciate it a great deal and I hope I can give you what you want to see!
I think I may go ahead and change the voting periods to be more like this month’s. The system I had worked out manages to confuse even me, and that’s not a good thing. This month worked very well, as I was able to take the three votes, figure out what you wanted to see pretty quickly from that, and then spend this last week working on new writing. Perhaps what I need to do is have three weeks out of the month be voting time, followed by my writing for the last week, after which I will still update on the first of every month. I will make sure that I change the information pages to reflect this as soon as possible. It shouldn’t affect you all aside from making things a little more easy to follow!
I had a lot of fun working on this month’s selections. The Liar’s Dice chapter just came naturally to me, as it’s the final card in my “house of cards” that I’ve been trying to build since starting the story. As I mentioned in the info page for LD, I feel like you can finally get a good handle on what the story is about and where it is going now that Chapter 3 is out. I had some trouble shifting mindsets back into The End, but managed to buckle down and get it done with only a mild headache and an intense craving for chocolate cake that had nothing to do with the actual writing of the story! Please let me know what you think about both stories!
Once again, thanks for sticking with me, and here’s to looking forward to next month’s selections!
