As many of you may have noticed, I’ve added a new video to the Ophelia, Doll order page. Hopefully you all have some fun, exciting or relaxing three day weekends ahead of you, but if you could take a second to check it out and share the video it would really help me out.
As for me, I’m about to go dark- dropping off the grid a bit. Making that video was draining, so I’m heading into a planned writing binge over the next several days, writing that extra chapter that I’ve talked about, making some edits based on your feedback and hopefully revising the last couple of chapters of the book if I can make it that far.
I’ve said it before, but it warrants repeating: Your support in this process is what’s made it possible for me to maintain a top 5 position in the contest. As I’m writing this and what writing lies ahead over the next few days, I’ll think of you all often to help push me through the frustrating bits. The generosity that you’ve shown is a huge motivation and your kindness inspires me to push things even further. I couldn’t imagine being able to step away in order to take care of some writing if it wasn’t for the fact that I know many of you are out there doing what you can to keep the momentum moving.
With that said, I’d like to make you all a deal. I’ve been hesitant to put more chapters up because I would like for you all to experience the story in one run, after it’s been professionally edited, but I’ve had so many of you ask me for more that I feel obligated to put the choice (whether you want to read it piece at a time or wait for the whole thing) in your hands. As such, from here on out, with every 50 pre-orders of Ophelia, Doll I will release a new chapter. The next benchmark is only 19 orders away (200). Can we get a new chapter out by Monday? I sure hope so!
As always, your feedback, reviews and encouragement mean so much to me and I appreciate you all. Thanks for backing me and helping to make this dream a reality.
Love Always,
Robert Wren
