The Many Ramblings of K. A. Webb

Demon Assassin's work posted at Patreon. It's patrons only, but you can spend as little as $1.

Working Title: Werewolf

A story from 2010. The names need changing, but I'm happy with this one, so it's going to be continued at some point in the future.

Working Title: Kaitlyn Vampire

2010, again. This is an early look at a Nick, although not the final version, and also when I started thinking about an injection that would free vampires from their 'curse'. I definitely need to go back to it.

Working Title: Anna

I was doing a lot of work in 2010. This is my first amnesiac Anna and I definitely want to finish this version of. It's interesting to see how my stories have evolved.

Working Title: Inquisition

Oh, yay, this was written in 2011. Reading this reminded me of why I enjoyed writing these stories so much. I have to get back to it, although I'm not certain if I'll be continuing this version.

Working Title: Rebecca's Story

Another 2011 story. This is one of the first stories written for Thear and I like it more than some of the newer works I've done, so I'm definitely going back to it.

Working Title: Aislinn's Story

The sequel to Rebecca's story.

Donor House: Bastien: The Hunt

I claimed this one back from a buyer, because their editor hated it. Personally I think it's a good beginning for the story I was planning on writing, so I will be continuing it, and then I will be selling it. (The buyer didn't pay anything for it and it was my idea, so I don't see anything wrong with that.)

A Visit From Hades

I love Hades to bits, so when he said he wanted a go at having me write for him I was happy to do it. He's got such a big personality he gave me a headache. (Did the same last night when I was having a conversation with James about the Hades I know - who happens to be a big fan of Hades from the Disney movie. James now thinks I'm even more weird than he did before.)

[Recording] Mirica: A Thief in the House: Part 1

Hear my lisp! Now at least I know why I have as much trouble with Dragon as I do. It can't understand my lispiness.

Then there are the ebooks, so a lot posted, and hopefully next month will be the same, although a lot of my focus will be on Etsy. I need passive income. I'm doing good with the active though, so that's a step in the right direction.

There's a new beginning up at my Patreon - it's for one of my novella series. It was one I started ghostwriting, only to find the editor destroyed it, and I claimed it back from them.

I'm still in need of at least one alpha reader from the beginning of May. All this means is letting me know if there are any typoes and if you have any other issues with the story, like parts of it being confusing. Getting some ebooks up at Etsy is the next big thing on the list, so the sooner I've got someone there I can send my work to the sooner I can get something up for sale there. More than one would be better. Even now I still write a lot and I don't need to take on anywhere near as much ghostwriting work as I thought I'd need to in order to make this work for me, so I'm pretty happy about that. Just keeping my regular buyers is going to be enough and I've already spoken with most of them about what they want from me as their ghostwriter. This gives me much more freedom to work on my own worlds and that's such a relief. I think part of the block I've had writing comes from where I haven't been able to as much.

As I've said before even a dollar spent on my Patreon really does help me out. Feel free to share anything I've posted freely at my website, as long as it's correctly attributed, to show people how I write. The more people I have interested the better off I'm going to be.

Newly posted to my Patreon is one of the first amnesiac!Anna stories. Toss in a dollar and see where the collection began, so very long ago (2010 feels like decades ago).

In the next couple of days I hope to get up one of the early Thear stories, which might actually be better than some of the newer ones and I can't work out why I didn't continue with it. Then I also have one of the early Inquisition stories to go up.

I have no patrons at Patreon, so I'm thinking of shutting it down. If I was making a little income from it I would leave it as it is, but I don't see the point in expending the extra energy, of which I have so little at the moment, on something that's not helping me towards earning money from my fiction. At the moment I'm barely going on my website - all I'm doing is posting Case, before moving onto something else, so I need to change that, because I'm certain I missed a raffle. That doesn't really matter, because no one's entering them and no one seems to be reading at the website, so I really do need to think about exactly what I'm doing with that. Finishing stories, obviously, is the most important thing, but it's hard to do that when I get so few comments. With my ghostwriting I get input, people tell me they like what I write, which makes it easier for me to focus on that... and it does help that I'm getting paid for it as well.

Being able to make $1200 from my original fiction is now the thing I'm aiming for and to do that I think I'm going to put the novellas at the top of my list, so I can put them online (although I'm still searching for an easier way of doing that, because I don't want to ring the IRS to get an EIN due to my phone phobia), as well as finishing the stories I've started posting, so I can start publishing them as well. What I need is more time, which I won't be getting until 2015 I think, when we're in the annex, because then, I hope, I'll be able to sort everything out better than I have now. The plan is to buy some things that will help me stay organised - like a nice white board for me to write down everything I'm working on.
