Life is just going to get better.
I know it doesn’t feel that way some days, but it will. Everything has it’s seasons, but that’s not what I’m talking about here.
I’m specifically talking about stories.
The creativity landscape is exploding in so many ways: AI, exploitation, cheating, gouging, self-proclaimed gatekeepers, new fees and platform changes….all affecting us all as readers and influencing how we find stories.
Even the video game industry is plagued by corporations only interested in milking you for every penny they can get their greedy hands on.
Doesn’t anyone stop to consider the consequences of such choices?
Nope.
Here’s the secret:
No matter what happens, no matter what platforms, technology or crooked people do, it will only make things better for storytellers who love their readers…and those readers who are looking for such storytellers.
Because we are now standing out as beacons of light and worth.
My desire has always been to be a writer you can count on. To be known for my character, tried by fire over time, with a growing world of stories and experiences that entertain and inspire you. As I get better at this and the publishing industry reveals its greed and deception, these works, I believe, will stand out more and more over time.
My life-long goals and heart-felt desires will actually work.
You mean I actually did something right?
I can’t stop grinning. My cheeks hurt.
What’s Happening Now
Life of Fiction is at a stage of transformation.
This is a slow process, because writing is the priority.
YOU are the priority.
The first step has been to break the content up into more bite-sized pieces. To provide a cleaner experience, focused on exchanges between you and me.
That means streamlining the serial stories, and then publishing smaller books, and then doing something I’ve desired for 10 years and didn’t know how.
Link it all together in dynamic ways.
Links to secret information
Interviews with characters
Hidden lore
Prizes to those who can solve certain mysteries
…and more.
I’ll reveal what’s available as things get released.
Have a great day, and even better week!
Remember:

Until Next Time,
Jaime *the-giddy-happy* Buckley
