Update - September 2024
🕑 Added 2024-09-07 09:00:07 +0000 UTCHello all.
Last month, something happened which made the mental health problems I have spike up in a terrible way. A family member (my father) passed away unexpectedly at the beginning of August and I've been out of sorts since. It was a difficult month, to say the least. But also one full of introspection.
I've not been putting out anywhere near as much writing as I should or want to. And while I might have my reasons, good and bad, that doesn't change the fact that y'all are here for these stories and I've been underdelivering (in a big way).
I came to a decision recently; a kind of deal with myself.
Simply put, I've set a goal of eight stories/chapters for September - what I consider the bare minimum I should be putting out every month. If I hit that goal, great! I'll be happy with it and keep going. But, if I fail to hit that target - those eight chapters - by the end of the month, I've decided I'll put a hiatus on this Patreon page. Basically, I'll set things so that it'll stop charging patrons every month and I'll keep it that way until I reach a point where I'm happy with the writing output again.
It's not fair of me to expect everyone to keep paying for access to my stories when I'm only putting up one or two chapters a month. And, one way or another, that's going to stop. Either I get my writing output back up to a level I'm happy with, or I stop charging patrons until I do.
I want to be a writer. I want to make a living crafting stories that people enjoy. And, for far too long, I've let my own issues get in the way of that.
I'm grateful to every patron, every reader, I have and have ever had. My goal for September is to prove that by working my ass off and putting out as much erotica and smut as I possibly can. No more excuses or waiting for the writing slump to pass me by. Writing is my dream, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let depression - or anything else - take that from me. This month, and every month after it, are do or die as far as my dream of being a writer are concerned.
Which probably sounds very dramatic. But that's where we're at, I suppose.
Eight stories/chapters by the end of the month. I'm currently at one.

Sorry for your loss. Don't beat yourself up or push yourself too hard, all of us are only human after all.
