I'd like to take this time to welcome you all to Symphonic Odyssey Volume Two: Beneath the Hawthorn Tree. I've been working on this novel for quite some time and like most authors, I see it as my passion project. Since I started writing here on Royal Road I’ve rediscovered my joy in writing and editing my work, and honestly, it’s all thanks to you fantastic readers and the attention you’ve given my work. I’ve truly enjoyed all the feedback and tips I’ve gotten from you over the last month.

Seeing your input has really helped me catch things I myself easily skim over. Certain plotholes, information that isn’t conveyed correctly, grammatical mistakes, you guys have the eyes of an eagle and I truly appreciate you pointing them out for me so I can learn from and change these mistakes.

Writing a web novel like this really is a fantastic way for me to grow and evolve as a writer. I’ve learned quite a lot from my time on this and other platforms, so I’m very happy something like this exists. If you’re considering dipping your toes into a project of your own then I highly suggest you give it a try. Posting here on Royal Road has been one of the best decisions I could have made for my budding writing career so do yourself a favor and give it a go!

I’m very excited to keep writing and posting chapters for this novel and I hope that as this project continues you’ll be there to keep helping me make this a fantastic story we can all enjoy! Whether you’re a patron, a new reader, or even if you’ve been here since the start I want to sincerely thank you. It means the world to me that I can entertain you guys even if my following is still quite small. So again, thank you so very much for being a part of this with me. I’ll keep doing my best and putting in those hours!

Chapters for volume two will start rolling out on Royal Road on Wednesday, February 1st, 2023 but if you’re a patron you can expect to see them as early as tomorrow. I’ve got quite the task ahead of me so I’ll wrap things up for now. As always, take care and I’ll see you around o/
