- She ran back.
- Selys knew her if not in person,
than by reputation. - then by reputation.
- She was a good leader,
The guildmaster of the Adventurer’s Guild in Lsicor, - The Guildmistress of the Adventurer’s Guild in Liscor,
- an elderly Drake with dusky purple scales who was also Selys’s grandmother shot back when Zevara stopped to breathe.
- her fair skin cut and marred.
She stared empty-eyed though the window, - She stared empty-eyed through the window,
- sitting and looking at nothing.
End of Volume 1- End of Volume 1
- Thus ends the first part of The Wandering Inn.
- To all reading,
- thanks for coming this far!
- And that’s not to say I’m done writing.
- In fact,
- the next chapter will be up on Tuesday like normal.
- I just wanted to take the time to say three important things.
- One is a request to all you readers.
- The other is how the story will evolve moving forwards,
- and the third is to say The Wandering Inn is now an Audiobook.
- How’s that for drama?
- Firstly,
- yes,
- this story is now available to listen to!
- Not all at once,
- but I’ve found a talented reader who’s willing to sound out my bad writing.
- I’ve put the first three chapter up on Soundcloud,
- and I’ll also upload them to iTunes as a Podcast for you all to listen to,
- free!
- Once the entire first volume is read,
- I may sell all the parts as an audiobook as another way to support the story,
- but for now,
- I’m very excited about another way for people to hear this story without having to listen to Siri mess up Klbkch’s name ten thousand times.
- Here’s the link for the audiobook,
- and I’ll keep working and updating you all on that as things progress.
- The second thing you should know is that it’s my birthday.
- Yes,
- somehow I managed to end the first part of The Wandering Inn on my birthday.
- I’d like to say it was all part of the master plan,
- but that would be a lie.
- I’m just telling you this because I’d like to make an audacious request.
- Now that the first volume is ended,
- I would be extremely happy if you’d spread the word about this story online and to friends.
- I know a lot of you do it already,
- but if you could bear it in mind,
- I’d greatly appreciate it.
- Patreon donators are great,
- but even telling one more person about my story is a gift in itself,
- and not everyone has the money to spare.
- Regardless,
- I thank you all for reading my story and commenting.
- And lastly and perhaps most importantly:
- Patreon.
- I’ve been thinking over suggestions of how to reward people who do commit money to me moving towards my goal of self-employment,
- and I’ve hit upon something I’m going to try.
- Every month,
- I’ll write 1+ stories about the world of The Wandering Inn.
- It might not be a story so much as background lore,
- or details about a species.
- It could be Ryoka’s missing conversation with Gazi,
- or how Pisces got to be…
- Pisces.
- I’ll let everyone who donates a certain amount—say,
- $10+ on Patreon vote on the topic of what the next story will be,
- and let all my Patreon users read the story as I write it.
- But fear not!
- Normal readers will get to read these side stories too,
- just later.
- One month after I publish the story,
- I’ll make it available on the blog.
- That way people don’t miss these stories,
- but Patreon users get to choose what the focus is and read things first.
- That’s about all I have planned,
- but let me just say again what fun it’s been writing so much so far.
- And how exhausting it’s been!
- This last chapter might be short,
- but it comes on the heels of around 60 chapters,
- averaging around 7,000 words per chapter.
- It’s a lot.
- But I love writing,
- and I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t enjoy telling this story.
- I hope someday I’ll be able to make writing my only job,
- and perhaps after the next volume ends I’ll take a month’s break to recharge.
- But for now,
- I’ll keep writing,
- and I hope you all will enjoy the story as I continue onwards.
- Thanks everyone so much for reading and—
- I’ll see you Tuesday.
- If my flight doesn’t crash,
- that is.
- Fingers crossed,
- and see you soon!
