Hey everyone!

So as the title explained, this is sort of a big update on everything that is going on, what the rest of my year looks like, and projects that are in development. I'm going to try and make each category as small as possible, but I have been known to ramble.

So for the rest of the year I'm continuing on with my three block schedule, and really going to hunker down on it. There is so much that I want to get done this year, and while I have been doing pretty good so far, I really want to keep pushing further. The list of goals is as possible:

- Write 3,000,000 words
- Publish 12 books
- Learn Unity
- Significantly expand microgame portfolio for Talon, Tooth, and Paw
- Build websites for Smilodon Studio, Black Phoenix Productions, Crafty Sabrewolf, and Shiftcore
- Officially open Sabrewolf Cafe
- Start the Atlantis Rising campaign
- Keep the momentum and start advertising Shiftcore
- Lose 80 pounds

In order to try and accommodate I'm only doing one con for the rest of the year, which is IndyFurCon. Other than that I'm probably going to be mostly going hermit mode and working to get everything above done. I know I'll probably not get everything to where I go, but I'm still going to try and optimize my schedule to get as much done as possible. That involves 12 hour days, 6 days a week. I'd also like to squeeze in learning art, language, or music, but that's more of a hobby. The 3 million words is because I'm looking to pay off my last major debt besides mortgage, and even if I get half that it would be a sizable chunk.

So what does that mean? As I mentioned above the words that are being commissioned and written will provide the financial security to make sure that even if things go south that we will be covered. It also means a ton of writing for you guys to see, including books which need to be published. Learning Unity and expanding microgames is to make sure that myself, Ravensflock, and Darkwitt have a chance to really make something that will get out there, and potentially have a viable furry gaming company out there. The same for Shiftcore; not only does it mean that I can support all the artists that I currently have doing webcomics but can hopefully replace commission writing as my primary source of income. As for the Sabrewolf Cafe... that is mostly for my own personal ability to build a community and have some fun.

With things getting increasingly hectic around here posting may be less when it comes to here and SoFurry, as much as I want to keep putting stuff out there I need to keep rolling so that I can accomplish everything that I want. Also communication might get a bit more flighty, and in doing so I may need to be poked a little more often, but I do want to talk to peeps. The one caveat is that on Sundays I'm going to completely disconnect; I need one day to reset and prepare for the week ahead, so I probably won't be seen around here except maybe to do some light posting. It's going to be quite the year, but the result will be worth it even if I get only half that list accomplished.

So... yeah, that's about it. ^. .^ Thank you everyone for all the support so far to make this possible, and if you want to do so then check out my patreon for Serathin, Shiftcore, and Talon, Tooth, and Paw to support these various projects and see all sorts of fun furry content.
