A quick update and a quick apology
5 years ago
Hey everyone.
First, I want to thank you all for getting me all the way to 300 watchers! It's absolutely incredible to see so many people care about my work. As some of you may already expect, I'm going to make a separate journal in the coming days talking about that, as well as the story raffle that I do at such milestones.
But for right now, I want to talk about the last couple of months. Since September, I've been going through some of the hardest times of my life, owing to some personal problems I've been dealing with for a long time. Things all came to a head, and it messed me up pretty good. As that's been going on, I've been trying my best to continue business as usual, taking story commissions, working on personal stories, and generally still engaging with all of you who want to chat or interact with me.
And that's where this apology comes in, because I haven't done a really great job of that over the last few months. While I've been active on Discord, I've been less so here on FA, where many of my normal activities have fallen to the wayside. Engaging with fans, leaving my usual thank you shouts on the pages of new watchers/consistent favers, answering comments, and so forth.
I'm still chugging along, taking commissions, working on stories, and I really want to get back to the level of engagement I had before. I don't know if it's awkward to go back and do things like answer comments or leave shouts months after the fact, and unfortunately because only the last 30 watchers appear in my new watchers list, many of the ones I haven't shouted out yet are lost to the overall group of watchers. So for them, I'm especially sorry, and please accept my heartfelt thanks for choosing to watch/fave my works :) !
I don't want you all to think I need to be left alone and not bothered while I work through my personal issues; it's quite the opposite actually. I cherish every message on here, Discord or Telegram, and interacting with you all really does make it all worth it for me.
So again, I'm sorry for how distant I've been, and thank you all for bearing with me while I work at getting back to normal. And, expect that aforementioned journal detailing the upcoming story commission giveaway!

Nah in all honesty you are doing some really good work here! Tough times happen to the best of us and it builds character! Your art improves with every submission. And with every obstacle you overcome, you will be stronger! Hopefully I can commission you one day but until then keep being awesome!
