I'm sorry I still haven't been active and getting back to working and communicating with everyone regularly.
The issue is I'm basically homeless right now. I thought I would have a place to go back to once I got back to my hometown, but there was an emergency there they had been dealing with so I couldn't go there right away. So I tried to stay with one of my brothers for a couple weeks while waiting for that to be ready, and any of you who have followed me for a while probably know that my family and I really don't get along, that I in fact wanted to entirely cut them out of my life for the way they mistreated and betrayed me in the past. But after several recent deaths in the family this particular brother had reached out to reconnect with me and I had been making an effort to be receptive to that. That's why when I had to bail after the massive emergency situation I just got out of but was caught in between not having a place to go or enough money to rent a room or anything for that long, I decided to take a chance on getting help from my brother.

It was a huge mistake.
Not only was it not an ideal situation as far as me getting work done since he has no internet installed, we were fighting with each other from day one. It only got worse, and it ended with him kicking me out the night I was preparing the Patreon posts, literally in the middle of me working on them. Since then I've been scrambling, and I got extremely lucky that some old friends were willing to let me crash with them to wait out the rest of the time until I can go back to where I actually stay, and that's why I'm able to post this update now.

Because of all this I haven't been able to be active, or get much drawing done, and I missed my Patreon upload schedule. FYI I made a similar post on Patreon that is free for all followers/subs to view, which goes into more detail about how I'm thinking of handling this over there.

I'm just incredibly sorry everything ended up like this. The emergency that sprung up at the end of October was a disaster but I could have recovered from it relatively well if only there had been a safe and stable place for me to go right after, which I initially thought was the case. I really didn't expect the fallout from it to be this cascade of mounting catastrophes. Right now I'm doing the best I can to get back to some semblance of stability to be able to get things back on track here and with fixing the other aspects of my life. I'll do my best to keep you all updated as I go on with that.
