What you get: There are currently 5+ advanced draft chapters (over a month ahead of RR). But I'm aiming to upload 10+ advanced draft chapters as soon as I can.What's the difference between draft chapters and the edited version?Very little. I edit my draft chapters anyway. I go through my drafts checking for spelling, grammar, clarity and better wording.For the full-edit: I go through each line and tighten everything I can. Fully-edited chapters usually have some tighter wording, and any added reactions I forgot in the draft version. The story's the same, and 80% of the words stay the same. But sometimes I find cleaner, tighter ways to say something - that's what this editing pass is for.---Ai killed the job market for marketers and copywriters - leaving me unemployed and broke.But I spent over a decade honing my writing skills, and I've always had a crippling story addiction. Once I start a book or show, I get a burning desire to know what happens next.I figured the best way to make my overactive imagination and story addiction productive was to chase my dream of writing fiction. I want to write the story I could never find, the one I wanted to read, and (hopefully) a story that gets you addicted.Yes, I'm trying to get you hooked on literary crack.I'm writing the Web Serial 'Death God's Gambit'.This is the place to be if you wanna see what happens next, and you hate waiting for your next fix.Subscribe to my patreon to read 5+ chapters (over a month) ahead of schedule on Royal Road.Your support allows me to focus on writing - which gets you more chapters, and stops me stressing about how I'm gonna eat next month.If you enjoy my story and wanna help me write it - subscribe to my Patreon.
