#IWSG: September Update: New Stories and Upcoming Writing Plans

Thanks to Alex for hosting this each month. Here is the complete list of participants.

I can’t believe it’s September already. Where did the year go?

August was pretty good. I had a new story released. Not sure if it will be a one-shot deal or turn into a series. I will make that determination in a few months after I have gotten other stories out of the way and can look at it again and decide.

I have started an outline for the Dark Academia series I want to write. It will be released sometime next year. I have other stories in front of me right now that have deadlines coming up soon. Next up is a YA series that I’m working on. The first book will be out next April. It involves a teenage shifter. There will be other supernatural beings, but they will be minor characters.

The creative writing classes I took over the summer helped me a lot with figuring out what was missing from my stories. I also realized I didn’t have enough descriptions of the settings for them. This will be added to the to-do list for rewrites and revisions.

I hope to have the store(s) ready to launch soon. One is going to be a direct sales store where you can buy my e-books straight from my site, and the other is going to be one where you can buy bookish-related things. This is taking time because of how much goes into setting them behind the scenes.

I haven’t forgotten about the subscription area either, but that is on hold for now. I want to get the stores set up and build up my Substack subscription pages (free and paid). Another change I made in the last several months was to change newsletter companies and need to build that up as well.

That’s it for now. I look forward to your comments. :)
