Jon Cronshaw's Author Diary - The Real Life of an Indie Author | Writing | Publishing | Disability

Welcome to this week’s Author Diary where I delve into the latest developments in my writing projects, celebrate a personal milestone, and share my thoughts on content platforms.

📝 Progress on "Punks Versus Zombies":

This week has been productive with the completion of three new episodes of "Punks Versus Zombies." I am now approaching the final act of the series, a phase filled with anticipation and excitement as I aim to wrap up the story in a satisfying manner. It’s thrilling to see the end in sight, and I'm eager to bring a compelling conclusion to the fans of the series.

🥂 Celebrating 15 Years:

On a personal note, I celebrated my fifteenth wedding anniversary with my wife. It’s a significant milestone, and we took some time to appreciate the journey we’ve shared together, reflecting on the memories and looking forward to many more years.

🔄 Considering Platform Changes:

I also discuss my current concerns with the Ream platform. Despite enjoying the experience Ream offers to readers, recent issues with its senior management have raised doubts about the platform's long-term viability. These developments have led me to consider switching to Patreon, a platform known for its stability and strong creator-supportive community. For now, I will continue to post on Ream as usual, but I am exploring all options to ensure the best experience for my readers and a sustainable model for my content.

As always, I appreciate your support and interest in my work and personal updates. I'd love to hear your thoughts on approaching the end of a long-term project, celebrating personal milestones, or navigating changes with content platforms. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more insights into my author's life and the decisions that shape it.
