A Teeny Tiny Update That Maybe is a Little Too Long (June 2024)
🕑 Added 2024-06-30 19:33:43 +0000 UTCHey everyone sorry for the lack of updates lately.
Just wanted to update you all on the stories for June. I have not had the best month in terms of mental and physical health related to my workload among other things. So I have not been able to get the two stories that were scheduled for this month done just yet. One is super close to being done, and the other is a shorter one that I can knock out in an evening if I really put in the time and my mind to it. I should have both up on the Patreon in a few days, by the end of this week at the latest. I know it has bled into July, but I am doing my best and will have it up as soon as I can!
In the meantime, I have started posting a comic to the Patreon. I hope you can enjoy that while you wait! I will probably post a page a week, maybe, we'll see!
In terms of my mental health, my full-time job has always been the bane of my existence, a relentless source of stress and unhappiness. It continues to weigh heavily on my soul, trapping me in a cycle of dread and despair. I can't quit, as this job is my lifeline, helping me cover my bills and expenses. Yet, every day I spend there chips away at my happiness.
I am actively searching for other opportunities, yearning for a place where I can breathe freely and find joy in my work. But in my field, escaping one toxic workplace often means walking into another. Despite this daunting reality, I am determined to find a better place, a sanctuary where I can rediscover my passion and strength. I want to enjoy what I do again, and have the energy and inspiration to write the stories I love for you all, on time, with all my heart. I LOVE writing these stories here a lot more than my full time job. It's a side job for me at the moment, but I still wish to one day make it my full time job. Thank you all for helping me get closer to that possibility, and YOU bet your ASS I will continue to try to make it a reality.
But that's enough of me oversharing there. Sorry if that was a bit too much, I just needed to get it off my chest and to be transparent to you guys, since none of what I have here would exist without you, the reader, the fans.
Thank you so much for your support and I hope this delay hasn't disappointed any of you. If it has, I am truly, deeply sorry, and I will do better.
Thanks for coming to my Kibby Talk™️ and I hope you all have a great Sunday/Monday.
Cheers,
Alex.

I agree with TiredPotato that your health both mentally and physically is most important. I would like to suggest that you try to find something other than writing that you can escape into an hour or two at least a few days a week to help you decompress and try to take your mind off of work. If writing is that one thing that helps you then maybe try writing about that days frustrations to get it off your mind and then throw it away. Also, I'm liking the Burger Queen comic so far and look forward to seeing where it goes.

I am in a very similar situation. I used to love my job, but now the stress has become very prominent, and so far I haven't found anything different. My heart goes out to you, believe me.
