May Update
6 years ago
Personal Update
Let me start off with a personal update. Some of you may remember a month or two I mentioned I have a back injury that is affecting my quality of life a lot. That hasn’t got any better, unfortunately, and it is still affecting my writing. I can’t focus on writing or much of anything when there is a searing pain in my lower back. Luckily ice packs and warm baths bring occasional relief and so does anti inflammatories. I was planning to see my doctor again once I receive my medical benefits through my employer, but that might not come due to them cutting me down to part time again. Life truly is stressful and I have a hard time coping most days with my depression and anxiety, the back pain doesn’t help at all either. Regardless of all of this while I am home I will be writing any chance I get if I am in a proper mental state to do so. I’ll be spending a lot of my time filling out applications again and will be my top priority, it’s just so hard to find a job in my area that wouldn’t expect me to stand or walk for extended period of time. It’s just not something I can do with my back injury right now. Enough of this nonsensical ranting onto other things.
Writing update
Chapter two of Brother’s Keeper is still on the way. I took a short break from it to work on the diapercritter ych story which is almost done. I am currently proofreading the story and once I am done I will work on Brother’s Keeper then go back to finish the second part of that diapercritter story. Remember you can always check the status of all my commissions and writing projects on my Trello board.
Commission Update
If you missed my last post (https://t.me/LucidWritingUpdates/227 | https://lucid-writing.net/change-in.....r-commissions/) about PayPal’s new policy which is making me leave their service entirely I recommend you do.
From this moment forward I will no longer be using PayPal to accept any payments, donation, or personal money transfers nor will I be using it to send invoices or pay for things online.
From now on I will be using Square to send invoices and accept payments for commissions. The commission information page has been updated to reflect this change. Don’t worry you can pay invoices from Square without having an account.
From now on I will be accepting donations and personal money transfers through Google Pay at my email address on the FAQ page.
Teasers on the website
If you did not know I post teasers, WIP, and behind the scenes stuff to eligible patrons., but i also post less in-depth teasers, WIP, and behind the scenes stuff to a public Telegram channel. I want to expand this beyond Telegram and start posting this on the website as well. It seems some of you think so too according to this poll. Which is why in the next coming week or two I will be looking into a way to post this content on public posts in a way that will hide potential spoilers so that people who don’t want to see them won’t. If anyone would want to see them then then they would be able to click a button that reveals the material. This way everyone can have access to my public content through my website, which is what it is for anyway.
I likely will not transfer the old teaser, wip, and behind the scenes content to the website, but all future content will be available on the website and Telegram channel.
