Update: I recently lost my job. So all of my time has been consumed looking for a new one. Sorry for the delay yall! ?? I promise I will finish this story.


    Greetings Reapers!


    I can''t thank you enough for all of your love and support. Your comments and reviews fuel my passion. I''m so happy you enjoy Reaping Autumn as much as I do.


    My wife and I are in the middle of buying our first house and dealing with some medical treatments. So I apologize for the delay. But I do have a chapter planned for this month. So I appreciate your patience. I know I''m not as fast as the other writers on this platform. But I hope you think the end result is worth it.


    To make up for it, I thought I''d share a little behind the scenes. No spoilers of course, but if you don''t want to know how the sausage is made I don''t blame ya.


    I''m a big plotter. I use Obsidian to track all of my crazy notes and test out different routes. Here''s a snapshot of my insanity.


    You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.


    I obsess over the little details. And I like to have and idea of where the story is going before I write so I can properly seed those moments. I''ve replotted my story about 6 times now to find better routes or avoid plot holes.


    Fun facts


    Characters listed in order of most to least likely to return the shopping cart:


    1. JJ - Dude is a goodie two shoes always follows the rules.


    2. Maggie - if she wasn''t dead she''d do her best to be a good human.


    3. Dr. Ward - He''s a responsible adult and has to keep a good image as a doctor in a small town.


    4. Hannah - She''ll do it but she''s the type to yeet it from 20 feet away and just hope it lands in the lane. If it doesnt, oh well.


    5. Autumn - Maybe. If she''s in the mood.


    6. Jaqueline - No. Thats what the workers are there for.


    Other plots I''ve wanted to write:


    An otherly where Autumn and Hannah visit a medium at a carnival and Autumn scares the hoax medium with her black eyes.


    A prequel set in a more medieval or colonial era when Reapers are in their prime. It would feel a bit more like Witcher I think.


    A Hogwarts of Reapers.


    Publication plans:


    I plan to reach out to publishing agents once I''ve done a few drafts. I know posting online might harm those chances, but we''ll see I guess. Either way I will self publish if I can''t get it traditionally done.


    I also have an Instagram @themythicalkidd and a tiktok @writernickkidd I post silly stuff so come follow.


    Anyways, thanks yall! Much love. And remember, you''re never alone. The dead are always watching.
