Updates: When Are Uploads Coming Back?
🕑 Added 2024-12-03 23:09:48 +0000 UTCTLDR: I have been dealing with mental health struggles thanks to college, real-world events, and learning trusted friends of mine betrayed my trust in them... but I plan to come back after the 13th, and maybe I'll try adding some written stuff to Patreon! I miss you all so much 🥺
Hey everyone,
This post has been a long time coming, and I sincerely apologize for not uploading more frequently and being so silent all month. I've spent several weeks trying to figure out how to word it all, but the best way to say it is that last month was an absolutely terrible time.
As I stated when I uploaded the "When Two Nerds Fall In Love" audio, I planned to take a break to focus on my schoolwork. I am finishing up my final year of acting college, and this was my most brutal semester by far. The workload was massive, and I literally had to devote all of my time to studying. That is still the case, and I plan to come back after December 13th, when my semester ends.
But more importantly, I have some friends in the acting class that I've worked with for 2 years and have gotten very close with within that time... Long story short I found out some of those friends I had gotten close to had been saying things behind my back, and very much greatly abused my trust in them...
There's more to it, but that's personal drama that I want to keep off my professional platform. However, I feel the need to mention it here because it affected my mental health and my ability to work substantially.
On top of that, I don't want to get into real-world events because I've always strived to make A Warm Coffee Mug a safe haven away from the real world, but with my personal drama getting in the way, the world being a scary place right now, and class on top of it all, I've been in a very low place for weeks now.
I promise, I have sought help, I have talked to people, and now I'm beginning to properly heal, starting with addressing all of you.
I have missed working and doing AWCM so much, and truth be told I feel as though I've let everyone here supporting me down so much by going away for so long... but I had to focus on getting better first before I could work on making audios to help others feel better too. I'm sorry for leaving, I'll do my best to provide every supporter here with amazing audios this month once I'm back after the 13th.
On a more positive note, one change I'm considering is some written literature in addition to the spicy audios on Patreon! There are some script ideas I have wanted to try writing in a more traditional format, which I am debating on making available to Coffee Mug tier patrons and a new $2.50 CAD tier.
(The professional term is, "Wholesome But Spicy Audios Written In A Third Or First Person Format In Which The Reader Can Insert Themselves Into The Protagonist's Shoes". The unprofessional term is "Wholesome Smut")
Thank you all again for your continued support and patience, I plan to come back as soon as possible! 🙏💖

I empathize with the friends part, and I really hope you're healing well. I want to add as well, the break in new content had me go back and rewatch/relisten to some older audios, and It's helped me through a pretty rough patch. Excited to hear you again, I hope the last week of semester goes well, and that literature idea is a great one!
