No, like... a REAL book. Not a fan comic, but my own story that I plan to copyright and trademark and publish.
So yeah. I don't dare say anything about it here until I have said copyrights, but now I'm thinking of how to go about distributing it once I am ready.
I guess I should go about getting a domain name, but I don't know anything about website creation, and paying someone else to do that can cost thousands of dollars, which I obviously don't have, but maybe I could get a page through smackjeeves, like My Life With Fel and all these other webcomics?
Of course I want to be able to make money with this story, but I don't know how much people will be willing to pay for it. If I, say, release a few preview pages and hide the rest of the comic behind a paywall, well, maybe SOME people will be hooked enough by that first scene to pay $10 or however much I decide on to see the rest of it, but I have a feeling that most won't. I mean, I'm a pretty unknown guy. I'm not famous. People don't really have any past works to go by to trust that my future works will be worth anything. I'd just have to show them, I guess.
Maybe I could sell paperbacks, like the author of Mystery Babylon does, while still making the comic itself freely viewable. I don't know how much he makes with that business model, but I guess it's worth a try...? The old world brick and mortar way of doing things may've worked out if I did it ten years ago, but I'm not sure it would now. Maybe I could put it on some service people can use to read books on their kindles, or something like that?
Whether or not I should seek a publisher or self publish is another issue. Also how much I would need to pay beforehand just to have it printed on paper.
Point is, there's a lot I have to think about. Before I even think of revealing this to the world, though, I need to make my rights to it air tight. So yeah... it's gonna be a little while before you get to see anything of it.
I'm also accepting points donations at the moment, if anyone has a few to spare. Just felt like trying it out. nickinamerica.deviantart.com/?…

Ready for commissions.
Hey, everyone. Sorry I haven't been too active lately. Truth is, I've been working on a TON of art, just haven't been uploading much of it here yet. Let's just say I could use the work at the moment. So if you're interested, I'd appreciate it. Current prices, keeping in mind it can take most of a day to finish one of these. Full body shot- $50 +$40 for each additional character +$40 for a background Comic book cover/page- $100 Feedback is appreciated.
New Lego Rewind just dropped!
This will probably be the last one of the year, depending on how things go. I have 3 Monkie Kid Megareviews to catch up on, and I can only spare so much time for videos. Pledging $5 to my Patreon page will get you the video a week early, and pledging $10 within the next 6 days will get your name added to the credits before it goes public. See you there.
Something special today!
Itch is having a "creator day" where creators like me get to keep 100% of what we make from sales (usually my cut is about 70%). If you were considering getting the Planet Ripple digitally through Itch instead of Kindle I would really appreciate it, especially today. https://nick-on-planet-ripple.itch.io/
Planet Ripple Volume 6 RELEASED!
Now you can get the print and kindle versions on Amazon, or get a PDF through Itch. Keep in mind, this is the longest book so far. The first was only 150 pages. This is about 190. Naturally, I had to raise the price a bit. Just two dollars, though. But remember! If you want a signed copy, you can upgrade your Patreon tier to $50. https://www.patreon.com/NickAnderson I went aaaallll out with this one. It's not the end of the series, more like a season 1 finale... But it is the end of some current arcs, the last book where the pirates are still the major threat to global stability. As for Minnow, she'll have to ask uncomfortable questions and reconcile things about herself, her trauma, and her world. Pulling no punches this time! Enjoy!

Absolutely cannot wait to see this become a reality. Part of me has always wanted to write a novel of my own but I never had the resources to make it a feasible achievement. I'll definitely be picking up a copy when it comes out.
