Kind of figure I'd establish where I'm at!! Very happy to see we're at 50 members and another 50 free members. I think it's kind of safe to say I'm averaging about 3-5 Patreon stories a month, and back to flirting with 'longer' series. I still don't know what I'm doing, soooo... Thanks for sticking around!
Small tiny rant below!
I'm sure most of you have noticed I kind of am just doing my own thing with Patreon, taking rough goals / ideas and just posting up stories that might have served as free content before. TBH, the anxiety of working from home and the fact this is my livelyhood has made me very adverse to doing any kind of writing and not monetizing it - I get nervous if I'm not booked up on comms, or very unmotivated if I don't see any progress or comment or whatever. It's like working in a black hole, and I don't know how to improve. :/
TBF, this is my second(?) month self-employed, and I just got done releasing a huge book, and prepping for another smaller book, so I'm pretty much running on fumes and just want to 'go through the motions'. I just kind of feel like I'm in a headspace that nobody even 'reads' my work.
It's weird! Maybe a bit of burnout or whatever. Buuuut just a mental thing I noticed! My rough goal for Patreon in the next few months is the following...
>Keep doing about 3-5 Patreon stories.
>Put more time into editing them, instead of just an hour looking at them and throwing them out there!
>Get back into the CYOA spirit. Incredibly hard to do so. Just tired I think, mentally.
It's tiring since I know you guys are here for probably 1-2 niche fetishes and I do like, +30 or something and I mostly write based off mood. IDK! I just know I can't afford right now to be writing a bunch of work for free, which sucks. This economy in general sucks!!! :/
Anyways, goodnight! Rantpost over!
