If updates get delayed I apologize in advance. I've been having  a lot of writers block lately, and while normally that's not a problem for me since I pre-write my stories, I tore through my backlog without really noticing. I usually have moods where I sit down and write dozens of chapters, but I haven't had the desire to do that in a while.
          	For the last month or so I've been barely keeping up with the Thursday Updates, just scraping by to get things out on time both here and Patreon, and I know doing this greatly effects the quality of my work.
          	This isn't to say I don't have ideas of course. I have a dozen plans for the things I want to write about, but I have no desire to put them to paper (hypothetically of course, I obviously write on a computer). 
          	I'm going to do my best to continue to keep up with it, and maintain the level of quality I strive for, but I wanted to make sure it didn't come out of no where if my chapters are delayed by a few days.
          	As to why I don't feel the desire to write anymore, I'm entirely unsure. Yes, I've been playing way more video games than usual, but otherwise nothing has really changed. Maybe I'm not the same angsty kid I was for so long and don't need to write about a better world because mine turned around for the better? I have no idea.
          	Anyways, have a wonderful day everyone, and I promise I'm doing my best to get back into it!.... Maybe I have to play Skyrim again...

@meannice I deleted it from my computer cuz i was sick of installing it all the time. And of course, after typing up this whole thing I also came up with a writing schedule where I just take the time like I used to to write, and Oh look at that... 3 chapters in an hour...

I have gotten my new pc ready to go, but I am now a super broke bitch :D. Updates should no longer be effected. They weren't anyway because I worry about nothing.

I know I whore my patreon out all time time and you guys are probably sick of it, but I am new to this and like any aspiring writer, would love to make writing my full time job. It's a pipe dream, I know, but that won't stop me from trying!
          
          With that being said, what would make you guys want to subscribe to my patreon? Even for say, the 1$ tier? What do you think your money is worth? Obviously I can't run myself into the ground trying to get out a billion chapters for you guys, but once it starts doing well I'd be happy to put out extra chapters a week and stuff.
          
          For example, for the 1$ would you want 6 extra chapters? I'm thinking about adding rolls to match in my discord but I wouldn't have a purpose for them now.
          
          Let me know what you would be willing to pay 1$ for. I already think $5 is too much for chapters in an exclusive book so I'm not even worrying about that. 
          
          Yes I am still trying to get my books on a platform that wont take my kidneys and I think Kindle is going to be the way. So if I publish a kindle book, which book would you guys want first?
          
          Let me know, and have a wonderful day Treasures!

@DanniNightShade Oh my bad. Somehow I am thinking you wrote a sequel, I am forgetful as all fuck so excuse me

DanniNightShade

@Simple-Blue-Helmet Louder Than Words does not have a part two. Technically all the books taking place at Willow Creek have a continuation in The Study of Magic but that's the 5$ tier exclusive and I'm not sure if that's what you're referring to.

@DanniNightShade Likely louder than words, it has a part two so mostly all you would need to do is edit it and make sure it is up to your standards as of your current writing pattern!

I know I just posted, but my computer just shit the bed on me and i have to get a new one. So if I'm late on updates I apologize as I'm doing my best. I just made another big purchase so I don't have the money for a new one right now and it's going to take some time.
          Bare with me! I should still be able to get updates out as I have my laptop but they might not be on time cuz I'm used to my desktop. Once again, I'm sorry for any inconvenience or lateness.

Good Morning Everyone! (Its 12am for me, yay 3rd shift at work)
          Recently I finished adding over the entirety of The Art Of Magic over to Patreon FOR FREE, so if you're interested in reading it, or reading it again, without ads then head on over there.
          I wanted to ask you all if you had any idea for the next book to start it's copying over to Patreon to be read for free without ads. Please let me know which book you want to indulge yourself in without being interrupted next, otherwise I'll probably just pick at random.
          Thank you all and have a absolutely wonderful day my Treasures :D

EuantheSeonaid

Just a random question. I'm not sure if anyone asked this. But is there a story for Alice? I haven't read your older books, and I've just started reading Nigtshade recently. But the character I'm mostly curious is about Alice. To everyone in the Nightshade book (The old version, and as far as I've read),  Alice is the villain. But somehow, I know there's more to it. Is there really something more that she could have a book/story of her own???
          
          PS: Nobody really is obliged to answer. Just a wee 'lil bit curious xD

EuantheSeonaid

@DanniNightShade yeah, I've noticed that in the few books I've read. Eitherway, I'll support you by reading your stories xD. Have a great day tho xD

DanniNightShade

@EuantheSeonaid I'm not sure how far along you are in the series (rewrite included) but she does get with Sarah and have a daughter. In the rewrite I've given her actual scenes to show her making progress and as said I fully intend to give her real closure from a big part of her life, so stay tuned with that :D. As for short stories, I'm trying to mesh her into most of my other books to give her a chance to shine as much as she can. Who knows. Maybe in the future I'll write a book for her. I know I'm currently working on a book for Nyx which takes place in ancient Greece so who knows.

EuantheSeonaid

@DanniNightShade Understandable, I also couldn't write up a scenario like that even if I do want to. I think if she does have a story of her own. It'll be so horrible that we could feel so bad for her, probably bawl our eyes out. I might probably just be simping on her though. I knew she's a villain, and probably a bad guy even in the other older books that I've read like I'm not sure if it's Nyx's Story or that Stargazer one where she lives with a human that has her in it. But as I've also read Louder than Words, Alice really seemed cool. Sorry, I'm really just crushing on her lol. But yeah, I think, maybe you can try to make just some random short scenes about her? Where you don't necessarily need to have a full discussion of her past. Just something that she's happy and looks forward to, maybe adventures of her and the friends that she comes across and accepts her regardless of her past or a possible romance or something xD. Thanks for answering despite your busy schedule. I hope to read more of your old, current and new stories

Can i ask what is the sequel to the book are you afraid?

Daphne273

@DanniNightShade ill be waiting patiently... I honestly am in love with your books and I can't for a minute put it down ... You are amazing 
Reply

DanniNightShade

@Daphne273 there is no book out yet for it, but I have plans to make it a prequel. Basically set it in the time of Ancient Greece and show how Nyx got her powers and started the myth that she was a Goddess.

So Daybreaker rewrite is coming to an end within the next few weeks. Once its over I will be immediately posting Fins, Fangs and Feathers (the new title for Fins and Fangs) which is the vampirexmermaid book that you guys requested. The first chapter for it is already up on my patreon for the $1 tier if anyone is interested.
          In addition, The Study of Magic being a Patreon exclusive to the $5 tier will likely be joined shortly by Louder Than Actions, which is the adventure (totally not a DnD campaign version of my books) version of Louder Than Words. It is set in a similar but different universe where things may not have happened the way you remember it.
          After Fins, Fangs and Feathers I will be continuing my rewrite of the Nightshade series with Stargazer, followed by another "Fluff" book that I'll have you guys pick once it gets closer in time for that.
          And yes, I definitely need to remember to finish transferring all the books over to Patreon. I'm going to add 5 chapters to be transferred over to my usual upload schedule just to put some momentum on that. I know Wattpad hasn't calmed down with their constant ads, so putting my books on Patreon so people don't have to get stuck staring at them will also be nice.
          As always thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day!

I set an alarm on my phone to try and help with the lack of on time updates. I'm really, genuinely so sorry I keep forgetting to update on time. I'm getting there, I promise.

DanniNightShade

I actually prewrite all of my books, so it's really just a matter of actually publishing them on time and uploading to Patreon. I just gotta remember to actually do it. I'm sure once I'm settled in my new job everything will be fine, but it's gonna take a bit to get there.

@DanniNightShade. Believe me an alarm does not work all the time especially when you want to get up at 5:30 in the morning for work. but then again writing this can't be easy all the time.

I want to apologize for the late updates the last few weeks. I'm not working nightshift anymore where I see it be 2am and I update my stories so I'm forgetting to do it lol. I haven't disappeared or given up on my books, I'm just a forgetful goose :D
