Alright. I honestly hate doing this, because for the past year and a half shit keeps happening, and I make changes and promises only to break them.

Sigh.

So here's the skinny: I'm not in a great place to return to monthly posts for Patreon. No matter how much I make, I end up distracted by something or another or stressed because I'm not keeping up, or both. I mean, I had job burn-out, political shit affecting not only my life but my friends' and family's. My dad died and I'm still reeling from it, despite everything that led up to it. Health scares. It's all fucking nuts.

Not to mention the looming stress over my debt.

I've been dealt a shit hand, and I have a feeling it's not going to just let up soon. I know some of it is my fault, some of it I have no control over, but it doesn't help it all just stacks up.

So... I'm thinking of keeping my Patreon as a tip jar. I still want to commission artwork for you all, and I want to illustrate my stories and games. I don't want to take it for myself. Y'all have supported my writing for 18 years (even when I stopped for a while), and while money sucks for me, I want to work with you. I want to commission more art than the occasional drop. I want some of the art that goes with my writing to be something we come up with. It that takes you helping me fund it, then awesome!

If not, then I can always come back to this. But I'm opening a poll. Come vote. Tell me what you want. It's your money after all. I'll keep the same benefits, just no.. no real schedule. Not yet. Not until I can get a handle on things.

(BTW, I'm still going to rewrite the WG Drive story bits I promised. Y'all paid for it, so I'm going to deliver)

Love you all.
