Chương 42: Announcement (It's a doozy, but please read)

Some good news, a lot of bad news (for me, not as much for you all). I'm putting the same announcement on all 3 chapters and my Patreon, so there may be some things that don't apply to you. First of all, I'm NOT shutting down either of my stories. Now, onto the explanation (TL; DR right before the pictures).

My attitude towards writing has always been that, unless things become extreme enough that it will reflect on my chapters, I should never let people know; many come to stories to escape from reality, and I don't want to be an author that complains. That being said, in the last few months, a LOT of bad has happened to me. About 2 months ago, my sister destroyed my car in an accident that was entirely her fault, and the insurance did not pay her for it- my car, that I still had $6k left on.

Since it was my car, and my sister had no assets to take, I have been undergoing a legal process to not get sued. So, in the past 2 months, I've had no car while working full time (relying on friends and family to help get me to and fro) while also facing a legal battle. Then about 3 days ago (the 11th) my roommate and I discovered a crack in the ceiling that has been spilling rainwater down on a particular spot in our wall, and black mold has been festering.

After peeling the wall back, we found a lot, and so, now I have to move out and look for another place to live. So, carless, in debt, getting sued, and now homeless, my writing is predictably going to suffer a bit. I'm stubbing book 1 of Beacon from Beyond today, and I was originally going to make this announcement along the lines of "If I can sell this many copies, I'll be able to keep up my usual writing rate" but, with the house thing, I most certainly will not.

I'm going to have to pick up another job, and likely file for bankruptcy. For my writing: I will not be giving up. Despite having less free time, what little I do WILL be spent towards writing. If I cannot at least have hope, then frankly, there isn't much of a point, so I'll be doing what I can.

With my savings and crashing on my friend's couch, I've given myself two weeks to catch up on Patreon for Endless Delirium, so here is what's going to happen: From now until the end of the month- when I get my second job, filing the paperwork, and start dealing with life in general- I will: Catch up my Patreon for Endless Delirium. No longer the slog, I'll likely only put 1 chapter a week out on Royal Road for Endless Delirium. My Patreon will be receiving either 5 or 6 per week.

Beacon from Beyond, my main story and the one that has the most support, will receive its usual rate of chapters. 3 a week, with its regular Patreon schedule. Starting from the first day of next month, I will be doing 2 chapters a week on Beacon from Beyond, and 1 a week on Endless Delirium, but, if I get a chance to do more, I will. My uploading schedule will doubtlessly be unstable. The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Now, the SILVER LINING!

My first book on Beacon from Beyond is coming out today, and I would appreciate it immensely if anyone who can buy it and wants to support me, does. If you have Kindle Unlimited, even if you don't want to read Book 1 (again, for those of you keeping up with it), if you download it and scroll through all the way to the end, you'll give me about $5. If it hits about 200 sales, I heard it can be advertised to the front page of Amazon, but honestly, I doubt it'll get that much.

Still, anything helps, and I would be forever grateful to anyone who can buy, download, or scroll through it in any way, shape, or form just to show support. If you don't want the book at all but still want to support me, I do still have Patreon for those who want faster chapters of Endless Delirium alone. And, just so you know I'm not faking it to sell my book, I will be attaching pictures of my obliterated car, as well as the black mold in my house.

I can't show pics of the court documents though, for legal reasons It truly is just some greatly unfortunate timing. TL; DR: No car, bankrupt, homeless, getting a second job. I'm releasing a book, and if you want to support me, I will be immensely grateful. Destroyed car from about 2 months ago (Rip:,) I had this baby for 3 years and my sister destroyed it in 12 hours). Still no replacement for it. And here is the mold.

I can't show the inside of the wall because we vacated the area after opening it and I'm not willing to risk my health going back, but this is what was on the outside, picture what's on the inside of the wall. Now that everyone knows I'm not lying for clout, I can only ask for understanding in what is sure to be a trying few months. If you wish to support me, here are the two best ways. Amazon book: Beacon from Beyond - Kindle edition by Gon, Sty. Literature & Fiction Kindle eBooks @ Amazon. com.

It'll come out later today, but I'm pasting the link now in case anyone wishes to preorder. Rating me well will help a lot too, and every single one counts. For those that were asking for a paperback on Amazon though, another silver lining, I was able to get it to work! After a lot of messing around with the settings, I barely got it within the requisite pages- the only catch is that there are now no spaces after each paragraph, making the words a bit densely packed.

Also, the paperback will only be available on the 18th, rather than today I'll hire an editor in the future for it, but with my financial situation right now… maybe not important; -; Patreon: https: //patreon. com/Stygon? utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Anything helps, honestly, and could help stabilize my situation faster, but sadly, I'm in the trenches a bit.

If anyone hasn't already, I'd appreciate a rating on both Endless Delirium and Beacon from Beyond, Royal Road or Amazon where applicable. Ratings will definitely get me more exposure in both, and tell me that I'm at least doing something right. I will not give up, on either of my stories. I'm getting my ass kicked, things are rough, but I will persevere.
