Hi and welcome to the online version of Mind Engine!
I’m publishing the stories here as I get them done, before it all goes to final edit and print. I’ve been doing the same with Patreon for years, and will for a while yet still. Well it turned out shortly after publishing this I shut down my Patreon! I’ve been working full time in animation and plan to be for the foreseeable future. So that’s forced my personal work to fit into the margins more. Which I don’t love but it is what it is.
As a recult I’m not able to update as often as I’d like to justify the monthly ask of a Patreon, I had been suspending payments for a year and a bit. It was getting to be annoying and I didn’t have the option to convert that account to pay per post. There’s other things I don’t love about Patreon like the lack of interface design options broken discovery. So I think for now at least my use of their platform is over.
I think maybe Substack might be better suited to what I’ll be doing, and also an alternative to mail chimp too so I’m going to make it my main platform for distributing my content for a while.
I use a few different names for things I post, my podcast and live streams on YouTube are the Porcesspods, i’ve blogged under ‘workblog’ for ages. But In print form I’ve retired the Revolver name for my personal anthology and when I finally get all the stuff going into the next one, it’ll be called Mind Engine. And there will be a series of subtilties instead of # for each volume.
That’s all for now, so without further adieu, here’s the cover for Mind Engine: Ignition Sequence. I’ll be slowly posting more peeks at the contents over the coming months so see you soon? or later! LoL.
