Need some help! · 7:03am Feb 1st, 2020
So, I've been hammering at the published version of What I've Become, in an attempt to tidy up my grammar, and add a few things to improve clarity and readability, all before I finally tackle the next book, and I'm a little stuck. I'm trying to whip together a more satisfying ending to this book, and I think I have it, but I'd like some input, as I really have no faith in my own abilities to end a book. I've already added and changed quite a few things, so it might be worth a second read, just to check what I've changed. In fact, I'm flat out calling this the second edition by this point, with how much I've added and/or changed.
It's still the same story, don't get me wrong, but their are a few more things, namely that I removed the vision Si'feri gave to that High Priest guy near the end. Instead, it's been replaced by an early introduction to our changeling buddies, as I realized that I needed to telegraph them a little earlier than I did in the 'Alpha' version of the story. As such, I'd like your input.
Don't worry, for those of you who bought my story, your electronic version will automatically update once I finish uploading the newer version. For those of you who bought physical, I'm sorry, but I can't auto update that. I rigged it that anyone who has a physical also gets the digital, so you'll still have access to the changes, but I cannot magically make your physical copy change to reflect the current narrative.
But hey, look on the bright side! If my stories ever become big, your copy of the first edition will be a collector's item! So... yay?

As for the next chapter, I'm working on it. I hope to have something for you sometime next week, so keep an eye out for it!
While your story may never become big, there's always hope you can make a decent living doing it. My mother claims a distant family member of mine makes a good living writing a certain series of books. I guess it's possible to have a big enough following to earn enough money to go by, but not large enough to be considered for something crazy like adapting your book into a film.
Well, it something. Though I say that mostly because I personally don't like dry "hooks". I know why you have to put it. And why you didn't described how changelings look in your story, or why remove scene with High priest reaction to the vision.(to build up interest to the sequel) But as fan and person who bought book(electronic version) and waiting for second to come out, it was just tease.
To sum up it's good, but I can't give you constructive criticism.(too hyped up as it's)
5195706 Thank you for taking a look at it, at least! And thank you for buying the book! I cannot tell you how much that means to me!
5195700 I know. There's really no guarantee for this sort of thing. Thank you for taking the time to read my stuff, though!

Your stuff is awesome, NP.
The story looks good! I'll enjoy seeing the next chapter of book 3!
5205895 It's about ready now! The only problem is Amazon. The changes are 'published' right now, but due to how Amazon works, you'll need to wait for around 1-48 hours for the changes to actually occur in what they produce. If you re-purchase it right now, you'll probably get another copy of the first edition. However, if you wait for a few days, you'll definitely get a copy of the second.
