It only took a couple years to realize it doesn’t work that way. I thought communicating with folks online would be easy. And instead of a 2-3 kids, you end up with several million readers. Since you’re all on the same page, everyone gets to anticipate cookies together.Īll of this goes out the window if, say, instead of making cookies, you make a book. This makes clear and consistent communication possible.

(Though as anyone who has dealt with kids can attest to, dealing with over-insistent kids can be rough.) But it works because the number of kids is (statistically speaking) only about 2-3. If the schedule changes, you explain why.Įven if your kids want more cookies than you can produce, and they complain, or whine, or nag at you, the whole thing is still manageable. They want more cookies, so you can let them know the cookie release schedule. If the thing you create is say… a batch of cookies for your kids, this isn’t a problem. If they like it a *lot* then they *REALLY* want to know when you’re doing it again. When you create something people like, they want to know when you’re going to make a similar thing so they can enjoy that too. The reason for this is a little complicated. I’m giving it a subtitle, too.)Įver since book two was delayed more than a decade ago, I’ve promised y’all that when a new book is going to be coming out, you’ll hear the news from me first. Because this is my blog, and I can put a scene break in it if I want. If you want more details about the novella, odd context, and a few tangents, that’s down below the scene break.

Hope that me changing it up a bit isn’t too disconcerting. I tend to go on tangents, digress, maunder, and only then do I get to the point and share the news. Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know how I typically communicate. I’ve always said when a new project was happening, you’d hear it here first. The Novella is called The Narrow Road Between Desires. It’s going to be illustrated by the fabulous Nate Taylor, and it centers on one of the secondary characters from the Kingkiller Chroniclers: Bast. In a lot of ways, it’s going to be similar to The Slow Regard of Silent Things. Later this year, I’m publishing a new novella.
