The Journey Continues...
🕑 Added 2021-06-03 17:47:35 +0000 UTCNow, I mean that both with my road trip to the location... and also here on Patreon. So, like everything in life, things need changing, and evolving. We have been a creepy little village here for OVER A YEAR!! which is AMAZING. While spending hours on the open road & away from the editing room, it has given me time to think about our community... goals I have for it, things I would like to do.
Things are going to change some... for the better. See, you cannot please everyone... some people get it, some do not. Some people sign up & think I am releasing non stop full feature films every month... which is baffling as that is literally impossible, and previously I was releasing ONE A YEAR. Some people leave & say I was posting too much, and the notifications bothered them.. π€
(I would think you would want that as a Patron no?)
I have even had an individual complain that I was posting too much about my first fragrance Superstition No.13, which creating that was a huge milestone & lifelong dream of mine.
These are a few examples of MANY, point being sometimes you absorb too much of these things, and before you know it, you are no longer doing what you want to do, or how you want to do it because in a sense you are trying to please everyone. Now, while I value opinions, I realize that I need to do what Inspires me, what I want to do... as this is what inspired me to create the Village.
When I return from this absolutely crazy investigation... I plan to revamp the Village, in a big way. I want this to be an active community with lots going on, and plenty of interaction, posts, content, sales, events, new products, experiment with things and grow. Some will get it what it means to be a Villager here... some will come & go... but all I know is I am ready to revamp & continue this journey, and go onto making this corner of the universe what I dreamt it to be, A lot is coming... both with my career at the Network, Haunted Saginaw, and right here in the Village. Prepare for one hell of a ride! I love you all, and thank you so much for the support.

I've joined and left several Patreon communities as I had the money to do so. I have to say, yours has been by far the most active and interactive I've ever seen. Sure you spend a lot of time pushing your products because they're your passion, easily forgivable. But, you also spend more time interacting and communicating with your patrons than anyone else I've ever seen. You're by far more engaged and more invested in us, and I love that about this community. I'm still just catching up on two years' worth of content, but I can tell how much effort you've put into creating this space for all your followers. Of course, you can't please everyone. And those that are loyal will willingly overlook the minor annoyances, like too many alerts. You're a busy person, and the fact that you've practically lived over a year on here checking in at least once a day is amazing to me. Your dedication to us has not gone unnoticed. I know this community is still growing and evolving. I can't wait to see what it has become as I catch up on the remaining year of content from here until 5/2022; but I know whatever direction you take it will be as awesome as your dedication and hard work over the past year has proven. Thank you so much!
You are an inspiration bro. You do what makes you happy because at the end of the day that is all that matters. I am grateful to be able to be a part of your journey & the village.
