November went so fast somehow. It feels like it was only a couple of weeks long...
Marketing
I kinda shot myself in the foot with marketing this month. I wanted to do something for Christmas with Patreon but didn't really remember until last minute so unfortunately, I've missed my opportunity with that...
It's drilled home that I am terrible at organising things. Next year I'm going to look at trying to plan my marketing out a bit better.
Patreon/Ko-Fi
Patreon is going pretty well. One Patron still but I'm keeping up with updates. Paying Patreons now have access too:
-A Magic and machines/Moon Girl crossover
-An image sneak peek of new characters appearing in Moon 4
-Moon Girl and Frigid Hack fact file based on Fire Emblem: Three Houses format
-Inside info about my new project, title, blurb and more
-Writing extra set before Moon Girl 1 featuring Leo, Tim and Henry
-The first announcement of the title of Moon 4 and a preview of the first 10 chapter titles
-A Halloween special story where the heroes have to catch a villain live n TV!
-A couple of pieces of in-universe media from Moon Girl's world
-THE PROLOGUE OF MOON GIRL 4
Patreon is the only place you can read a preview of my upcoming book Moon Girl 4!
Moon Girl 4
Stage: Beta reading
So I've handed it over to a friend to look at. He's normally pretty speedy but he's had a lot going on this month, just bad luck timing-wise. Hopefully, I should have it back and be able to do a last polish soon-ish. I should also be able to put together the cover soon!
Moon Girl 5
Stage: Planning/First Draft
I've done really well on this lately. I've managed to salvage some of what I had to throw away and am rapidly catching up to where I was. I'll be all caught up next month assuming Christmas doesn't eat too much of my time.
Other works
The words are appearing on the page but its...the image of a Jenga tower one block from falling is the image that comes to mind. I'm getting the plot down but it's not really been ironed out yet. It's a glorified outline at this point but! Progress is progress.
So next month is December. Christmas and New Year can be a busy time so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get done but I'll be pushing to at least hit my usual targets!
