Continuing the somewhat naive and haphazard publication/promotion of my book, I am making it available on Royal Road www.royalroad.com/fiction/1552... for a limited time. New chapter daily. Free read for the commute/bedtime. What a bargain! 😉

It's like the idea that you could transfer your mind into a robot or something. Your mind isn't going anywhere. That's a copy inside the mech stomping through town using the threat of disintegration to get free burgers.

Another recommendation: Hemingway editor. This might not suit your writing style, but if you want to keep things concise, it can help. It will highlight how readable your writing is, where you are using passive voice, and words that could be simplified. I found it super helpful. hemingwayapp.com

It's a site that connects authors and reviewers. People sign up, get a copy of your book, and are encouraged to review it once they have read it. This is my first time using it. I'm hoping it's worth the effort. Getting eyeballs on your book, let alone reviews, is hard.
