A NEW YEAR means Changes and New Goals for my story time blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal for the new year is to support myself with the stories I write. What writer doesn\u2019t have that dream? It\u2019s still a work in progress (like my new story I will be posting soon) and it begins with buy me a coffee page dedicated to those who read and enjoy my stories. buymeacoffee.com\/storytimebyrk <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, something I have been considering for a while is to have my longer stories behind a paywall of some kind. The first chapter will be free. To have access to my continuing chapters for my longer stories, they will be on patreon<\/a>. My short stories will still be free to access on this blog site, and there will be more short stories in the future. I have been looking into ways of protecting my content and offering longer format stories without the hassle of publishing books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to all those who take the time to read my little endeavors and I hope you enjoy my next story. The Lady of Steam and Shadow. Chapter one is about ready to go with nineteen more to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
