Patreon!

Okay, I'm gonna give this is a shot.

I'm now on Patreon, where I'll be uploading my novel in progress a chapter at a time. I'm terrible at advertising myself, so this might not be very successful. On the other hand, I'm hoping that making this commitment will motivate me to keep producing steadily. That actually seems to be working, so far.

In which case, I'll be in my corner, eating worms.

But I'm telling myself that I won't know for sure that it's a failure until the entire novel is done and uploaded. So the motivation aspect will still be there.
