March was relatively quiet, compared to the past few months. Steady progress on the second edition of Escape from Salmira, which is encouraging. I finished my read-through, made several adjustments, wrote three new chapters and a prologue, reworked the beginning, and am now working my way through the book as a whole, rewording things and expanding on what was already there. I’ve already added over 10,000 words, which was the bare minimum I wanted to add.
Why am I making a second edition before I’ve finished writing the series? There are a few reasons. Looking at books two and three, the writing quality and style are very similar, while book one just doesn’t quite match. Since it’s the book people will start with, I want them to have a better idea of what to expect and not be jarred between books. Hopefully that hasn’t been happening, but I want to have my best foot forward as I introduce myself through my work. I’m still very proud of my book, I can just see the potential it has to be better, so I’m bringing it up to that potential.
The other big thing I’ve been doing this month is making more of an effort to be active on my social media pages. I’m most active on Instagram and Facebook, but I’ve also increased my posts on TikTok. Videos are just harder to make every day.
Each weekday has its own theme, so you can have an idea of what to expect on any given day. Announcements will still be made whenever they’re ready. Mondays I’ve been posting memes. Tuesdays I highlight something I’ve written for D&D. Wednesdays I give a glimpse into my writing process. Thursdays I’ll share something about my books, sometimes reading little scenes. Fridays are a wildcard, I just try to post something fun, but it will look different every week.
New Module!
Last and certainly not least, I finished writing and published a new D&D module! This is the second to last in my autumn series, which is the last one in my larger year-long seasonal series. The last module just needs some playtesting to make sure a few things are working properly, then I’ll wrap it all up in a big bundle! If you get any of the modules now, DM’s Guild will recognize that purchase and give you a bigger discount when you get the bundle, so there’s no need to wait if there’s one catching your eye right now. Cyclone of Fire is a combat-heavy oneshot with a hint of mystery. Travelers have been attacked by an unnatural cyclone, and it will take a bit of work to get rid of it for good. Is your party up to the challenge?
