So, as of yesterday, I am no longer employed at my current work. I won't go into a lot of details here, but it can best be summed as the usual big retail corporation BS that plagues a lot of the US these days. And it all piled on so fast in such a way that I practically had a breakdown, resulting in my walking off for the sake of my own sanity. However, the good news is that I have already have a new job lined up that I'll be starting in about two weeks' time, one where I'll actually be working from home! It's a large relief for me since I relied on public transit for so many years, and this'll allow me to stay put and give me a bit more time to actually focus on my writing and trying to bring more content in the coming months. It also finally just gets me away from retail work in general, which I think is just something I REALLY need right now for my own mental health.

On that note; while I do have the funds to go on until I get my first paycheck from my new job, I AM going to want to try and pull in a few extra funds. While I am currently still working on a commission, this new amount of free time is going to (hopefully) help me get that finished soon enough. As such, I'm aiming to open up commissions this Monday! Since the form system worked well last time, I'll be relying on that once again. However, I need to emphasize that there WILL be new, higher rates for my stories; this was something I had planned for a while and at this point, it's all the better I get the new prices up and going. Essentially, It's going to be a base fee of $40 for the first 2K words, and every following 1K words will be $15. Also, from now on my stories will have a cap of 6K words. I'll most definitely have three slots opening up on Monday, but if things can work out properly I MAY accept a fourth one.

However, if you're looking for a story but may not have the funds to pay for one right now? Don't worry, because you'll get a chance at a freebie because I'm currently just one follower away from hitting 200! Which, honestly? I'm kinda surprised I'll be hitting so many. I started this for fun and to meet like-minded furs, so it feels crazy to know so many folks are interested in what I have to offer and are even willing to pay for it! But, I digress; just like when I hit 100 followers, once I actually hit 200 followers I'm gonna be celebrating by giving away a free 2K word story for a lucky follower! I'll be making a new journal entry for when that happens so people can enter, so if you're interested be sure to keep an eye out for it!

I think that's about all there is for the time being; thanks for taking the time to read through this, and I hope you're all staying safe and healthy out there! I'm sure I'll be talking with you again real soon!
