Update #54 - The Last One Was Five Months Ago
2 years ago
General
Howdy folks, it's been... oh fuck, five months. That's a good while.
It should come as no surprise to anybody that delays have gotten worse. I have had to issue refunds and restructure my process in order to get any sort of content on schedule. To any of y'all affected, I apologize deeply. It's a combination of losing time to work and feeling the burnout beginning to turn into a brain cramp.
At the moment, there is no schedule. I have commissions lined up from the list and a rough timetable to do them, but putting a date down is counterproductive at this point. It will get done when it gets done.
This may mean more delays before I finally open up again. If that feels too long or you'd like to withdraw your submission - by all means. I can refund you. Money isn't any issue right now.
For the sake of being consistent, though, maybe I should return to monthly updates. The guilt of not having anything to present as progress paralyzed me up to this point, but it's not really a good way to interact with y'all.
Is it conceited to say I think of y'all as an actual community?
Anyway, there is good news! Leomono is done! It's being posted throughout the week! Check back daily for chapter drops! This one was seriously good content for me (even if I went 12,000k over budget in the word count). Sgata was a wonderful client and I'm glad to have put together such a beefy isekai with him.
Some changes are also being implemented on the Patreon side of things to encourage ditty submissions from lower tiered subs. No idea where I'll be going with that, but there could be a patron drive later in the year for Halloween and Christmas content??? POSSIBLY?
Nobody knows, not even I know.
I hope 2023 has been going well for y'all. Delays aside, I'm actually happy with my position, even if my output isn't *stellar.* Have you gotten much done towards your goals? Taken a good break? Done your taxes? Tell me in the comments, I'll give as honest a reply as I can!
Cheers, and wish y'all the best of luck!

A successful writer...
I was going to say something like "It'd be weird if you didn't think of us as an actual community." I think. ^.^;;
It's still a shame you weren't able to do the story we talked about before and had to refund, but I love all the stuff you put out for other folks anyways. <3
So far 2023 has been better than 2022. I've started a new on-day, off-day system where every other day I do three hours of life-goals work, and that's been working out pretty well for me.
I haven't done my taxes yet. I should get on that, this is the last month. For whatever reason, every year I think it's the first month, instead.
The main things I'm working on right now are my two video game projects.
The first is an adult mostly text-based life-sim called Dommy Monsters are Fighting Eachother to Own You, or just Dommy Monsters for short. It's strongly transformation and assimilation themed.
The second is a project I've recently started, to make an open source public domain multiplayer 3D survival sandbox game. Doesn't have a name at present. I want to make something like ARK: Survival Evolved, Valheim, or Conan: Exiles, but free and open source and public domain.
