《Just a Rock》Author's note 5
Advertisement
These author notes have become a bit disorganized. Originally, I was going to post them every 10 chapters as a milestone. However, me deleting half the story at some point to go in a direction I was more comfortable with sorta ruined that. Admittedly, I could always use the new reorder feature to properly put these notes in their 10 chapter milestone parts. However, I'd prefer to keep these notes where they're relevant.
Therefore, I'll try to post these notes around the spots they'd normally go give or take a few chapters. More importantly, I'll make sure to have relevant info to put in them. No point in making an author's note if I don't have much of anything to announce.
AUDIO: When it comes to the audio versions of chapters, I've redone chapter one's audio, added chapter two's, and did some flow edits to chapter three. I tried doing chapter three's audio today but kept messing it up. The fact that Just a Rock chapters are short is quite the advantage for me since I'm an amateur at reading stuff aloud.
Binge writing: I mentioned that I might binge write in a comment a few days ago. Unfortunately, I got sidetracked by other things from games to messing around with MS paint. I didn't have much work nor did I get much done the past few days and now I'm off break and back to college homework. Maybe I'll get into the mood some other time.
Possible publishing: One of the things I want to do as a writer is write something and publish it. I've got a few serious ideas in mind that could work quite well if published. That is if I ever got around to properly writing them. Everyone I've asked about publishing said I should just publish Just a Rock and see how things go. So, I'm thinking about sprucing things up and trying to publish this. Maybe do a few more versions of the audio and make it more professional to have an audiobook with it.

Comic: I drew this random comic in my free time while fiddling with paint. The empty square is for the title once I finish deciding what to name it. It's kind of random, so make up your own story about what you think is happening in it.
