Upcoming Updates!

General
Hi all! I've got a small batch of updates around my current projects and what's on the horizon for you:
First, I want to give a gigantic THANK YOU to everyone who filled out my Writer in Review survey I posted back in January—y'all gave me so much amazing and thought-provoking feedback that I'm working on incorporating into my writing as I move forward, as well as some excellent story themes to write about. And I can't tell you how much I appreciate the positive notes you gave! Thank you so, so much!
Visual Novel: On Your Day Off
Technical development has been going well for the most part, just got a couple bugs to still work through before releasing V0.1 on March 20, but it will be ready for you to play! Writing has also been going really well and I've been putting together a bunch more content, and the fabulous
ninetht is making more amazing art for it! V0.1 is kind of a prototype with just one complete story route and one partial route, and I'm excited for you to see what we've been working on! I'm hoping to do one release per month, with more content in each release—the free builds won't have all the story content in them, but the final paid version will (and the date on when that's going to be complete and ready is very much TBD).
Vacation Souvenirs
I'm in the process of writing another multi-part novella (because apparently I just love doing more work for myself), and I'm aiming to keep to a schedule of posting a chapter every week/every two weeks; I'm thinking there's going to be maybe 6-8 chapters, and I'm going to use this space to post about upcoming dates when the next chapter will be posted:
Chapter 6: April 12
Other Personal Writing
While I'm working on On Your Day Off and Vacation Souvenirs, I'm also going to be doing some more personal writing on the side—OYDO and VS are kind of like the dog bones I'm chewing on for a while, I'll get distracted with another toy to play with for a bit, and then I'll go back to the bones to chew on them some more. So if/when you see me post other writing work (for example, I have a short story I'm planning to post on March 19 instead of the next chapter of VS), just know that the bigger projects are still going on in the background!
Commissions and Personal Projects
As of right now, I'm aiming to re-open for comms in early/mid-May. I am going to be updating my pricing and offerings, my commission request form, my terms of service (minor adjustments based on lessons learned), and how payments will work, and I'm going to do much smaller commission queues compared to what I've done previously—taking on 8 stories at a time was a lot! I also need to intentionally carve out time for personal projects in between commissions, so after finishing each small batch of comms, I'll take a break for personal writing before re-opening. I'll have more updates on comms in the future, but just know that it's something I'm still thinking about and looking forward to doing again after my batteries recharge!
