Poll Up on Twitter (For extra publicness)
🕑 Added 2019-10-06 00:53:48 +0000 UTCWanted to make sure you all saw it. I've been burning myself out a bit with my work, and while I can probably keep it up for a bit, I just don't know how it will affect me down the road (Southern saying for - later on in life, I met someone who hadn't heard that term so now I feel like I must explain it when I use it).
The post explains it a bit but here's the run down (also there's a typo in the post on twitter). For nearly 16 years I have been doing 3 comics a week. Then 3 years ago I increased that to 4 comics a week with Artificial Incident. Then a month or so ago I changed the format for Yosh! to be a much bigger (basically twice the size) for the pages. I did that because I had a lot of action scenes to do and felt it worked better, and I think it looks better too. Problem is, with increasing the size I find myself still working on the comic early into the morning when it's usually done long before then. Let me put it this way- I stay up late, it was common for me to go to bed at around 6am. I haven't done that since this change. Most days I've been going to bed at 8am. I've been working 10-12 hours straight sometimes on a single page. That's not normal for me and I don't think I'm getting slower, I'm just worn out all the time. I'm always working. My body can't keep it up forever so, I just want to cut Yosh! down to 2 updates a week and keep AI at once a week. So I'll still be doing 3 comics a week. I think even with the larger format I can handle that and try to improve my health and sleep.
I know this should be a "no-brainer" decision. That I shouldn't really have to even ask, but it's really scary for me to cut back anything at all. The money I make here on patreon is 95% of all of my income. It's already dropped by over 200 dollars that it used to be which had caused me to tighten things up more. I have it in my head that if I do cut back, so will my support.
So, please leave any comments you have here. If you don't want them public you can message me here or at my email sage25@gmail.com
Please also participate in the poll, it will only be available for 7 days and I'll make a decision based on that.

No twitter account so I can't vote there. I'm ok with you cutting back on the comics. Way better than you burning out. Seen it happen to too many awesome comics over the years and have no desire to see you added to those particular ranks.

I almost never check twitter either. I would be fine with a reduction in posting schedual. A lot of the webcomics I watch only update 1 or 2 times per week.
