Introducing: Skyler's Notes
Do you want to give me money? No, you really don't have to, but if you did, I have a reason now.
Hey everybody!
When I started up this blog, I was mostly looking for a home to put all my shorter-form writing. I didn’t intend to make any money on it, not right away at any rate, but I decided to leave the option for a paid subscription available just in case someone wanted it — I will never say no to free money.
Well, one of my relatives actually did it. It turns out that while I will never say no to free money, I do feel bad about someone giving me money and not having something to offer them in return. So, for that one person, and anyone who would like to join them in the future, I am going to be publishing something called Skyler’s Notes. It’s just my behind-the-scenes explanation of what inspired a piece, how it came together, and how I feel about it. Not very fancy, but I figure doing some necromancy to reverse the death of the author is something to show my thanks. They’re a bit less edited, but I figure anyone who’s paying me for access probably wants the straight dope.
The first of these is up now, on my first piece, Sail-Away Party: click here for a free preview! I’ve left the option open to claim one paid post for the plebians, but I’m pretty sure that works prospectively, so you may want to save it for a later Notes — I plan to do one on everything I publish, and I think the Ouroboros one might be a lot juicier.
The price for a subscription is $5 a month or $50 a year, which is the cheapest they’d let me make it. There’s also the $150 tier, which has zero additional benefits and is just if you want to be really nice to me.
Speaking of publishing, I’m not dead! Work continues on my longer-form projects, including my novel and a shorter novel (novella? novelette? whatever) I plan to publish in serialized parts. My paid subscribers (okay, paid subscriber) will get early access to the later chapters. I also have another short essay coming out in the very near future to fill that gap — this one a bit more lighthearted.
Whether you’re paid or free subscribed, thanks for everything! I could probably do it without you, but it’s a lot more fun knowing people are actually reading this stuff.
