The Profits of Takamagahara Monogatari

As Kogitsune has reached 4 years since publication, and Shinigami 3 years, it's time to look back at the costs, royalties and donations of this ongoing series. I don't know if this is common knowledge, but both "Kogitsune" and "Shinigami" have been free on my site since 2020, as a gift to everyone affected by the COVID-19 lockdowns.For the readers who prefer ebook readers or paperbacks, the Takamagahara Monogatari books have remained self-published also via Amazon. Let's have a look at what it means financially.

Claudie ☾ It makes me so damn angry and sad that a lot of really talented authors can’t support themselves with their writing, when trash like 50 shades etc brings in millions of dollars! 😡
I wish you wrote more, but I understand why you don’t. 😞 Have you considered getting a patreon account, and posting chapters of your WIP or some short stories there?

Hugs, Claudie! I wish I wrote more too, at this moment I'm really glad I have the time to write anything at all. Little by little "The Fields of Higanbana" is coming along. :)

I've thought about Patreon for like 3 seconds, but I felt bad about taking people's money on a monthly basis, especially in this economy. I've had a Ko-fi account since 2018 and I'm happy with it, I received 5 coffees so far and used the total to buy 2 Happy Meals on my birthday.

I decided to start posting the draft chapters as they come along during these blogs. Who knows maybe we have something next year :D

So proper! I'm sure most of them wouldn’t miss 5 dollars or so a month 😂 Give it a little more thought!
And I can’t wait to read those chapters! Good luck with your muse 😘

Thank you, Claudie! I'll think a little more about it. 😘
