Hello everyone! Or hello again to maybe five of you, if you saw my first post a month ago. V_Storm here, giving an update.

I made a promise to myself by posting on this board that I would be publishing the first chapter of a story on the 10th of January. To make sure I actually stuck with a single project instead of half a dozen different 'chapter ones'. 
And I'm happy to say I actually did it! I'm pretty nervous, but the first chapter is out now of my first published work Natural Alchemist!

Feel free to check it out if you like fantasy, adventure, drama and mystery, with a sprinkling of comedy and less of a focus on magical combat and action. (At least as far as I've planned it right now)

I have a few chapters written, and I'm going to try and keep posting both regularly and as frequently as I can. But with the new semester starting up soon I'm not sure what pace I can write in just yet. 

Welcome! Cool to see an alchemy story pop up! Just a suggestion: you might want to hold off on spamming chapters all at once b/c you won’t get a lot of visibility that way and only the people on at that particular time. Posting every 12 hours or once a day helps you get people in different time zones 

Good luck with school and your book!

Welcome! I second readerbreather's suggestion. Also I think a consistent schedule tends to be better than the most frequent (but that is just my not scientifically proven opinion) so don't worry too much about needing to post super often at the beginning. I hope your fiction does well.

Thanks for the tip guys. I was planning on doing that, but then I figured I might first start with a few chapters just to give the story some more meat on the bones.


 Also the add chapter button was more tempting than I'd thought it would be.

Way to follow through. Congratulations. Also adding a link and cover to your signature helps advertise your story. Unless you have a huge backlog, concentrate on consistent posting at a rate you can maintain. Hope your story does well. Good luck.

Good on ya! Deadlines and accountability are a huge help for productivity in my experience. Best wishes!

I have tried to add my book cover to my signature, but it doesn't seem to work.  Any suggestions?

Welcome aboard! ^_^
