An update on HtbD and Patreon
11 years ago
General
Hello all you lovely people.
First off, I want to apologize that there has not been any new pages this month. 2015 has no started out well for me.
A bunch of hubbubs around New Years and Christmas ended up causing me to not be able to pay a lot of my bills, causing a lot of delays. The boss of the stable where I currently work was kind enough to let me work extra on the weekends for some spare cash , and it has really helped stabilize my economy.
Though with me working a *minimum* of 8 hours a day, 6 days a week, at a stable no less, I have been so exhausted constantly that my muse pretty much went catatonic. Not to mention I got rammed aside by a horse two weeks ago which really hurt and has only just now stopped hurting. I haven't felt a drop of inspiration to write scripts for the comic. No scripts = nothing for Karno to work with.
But, with spring *finally* starting to come around, my muse has been stirring again, and I have sent off a few page scripts to Karno to work on. The new pages should show up around early March.
And on that note, it seems the fans over on Patreon hit a milestone goal just a few days ago. Holy crap, $153 pledged per page. The generosity of the fans of this comic never ceases to amaze me.
I have in fact talked to Karno about it, and he says that if I can keep up with the scripts, he can work on 2 comic pages per month. Awesome.
So, since Karno can keep up, and the funding is there, I guess I'm out of excuses for slacking off with the script.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to wake up the muse and get her to outline Olga part in this chapter. Oh yeah, the Big Lady is getting her rocks off this year. Good and properly too. ;D
Best regards

*scratches head* Least you're alright now. And no cracked ribs with the horse ramming? Or does it just ache in one spot, not to breathe?
And thankfully no, no cracked ribs. I sort of got mushed into a fence post when a horse in its haste to get in unknowingly pressed up against a newly plugged-in electric fence. She got a shock and just dashed forward, slamming me aside so hard my glasses got flung off. Nothing broken, but that was mainly because I was lucky enough not to get trampled in the rush. Hurt to breathe for about a week, but I could still do my job, so, oh well.
I would say it's your greatest strength, that you actually don't take us follower for granted and that you actually try very hard on your own for it to work. However I do believe that some humility and pleading for help is totally okay. So if you get put in a similar situation, you should ask for help. Might not be finacially but to actually boost your moral and help you through tough times.
Now with that said, I hope everything will turn out allright and that you don't burn yourself out in the process.
