To bark, or not to bark... (Patreon)

The answer might seem obvious, but I've been reflecting on where best to spend my efforts and enjoyed the support for the "Just go write the thing!" choice in the recent poll...

Being a pretty well-trained dog, I usually like to keep my shit in order - which typically means being organised and making loads of work for myself. I noticed late last year that I'd started spending a bunch of time on admin tasks - tweaking the website, running the discord server, organizing Patreon and doing promo etc. Many of these things were 'under-the-hood' bits that you wouldn't see, but they began distracting from the time I have available to make content.

So - having assessed the true value of spending effort on the hypno-file equivalent of folding your socks... I've decided to refocus on what matters most. I'll do it by:

Cutting some things you never knew I was doing and probably don't care about, and also some stuff like the monthly Upcoming Files updates. RIP my weak puns.

Making the release schedule more consistent - now a minimum of three new files per month, releasing in a ruff 10-day rhythm.

Reducing the amount of promo I do... so, you know... if you want to bark in public about the files you've enjoyed, I'll owe you headpats! (Thank you!)

Taking the time I save and using it to make bonus bits of content whenever I can, starting with an alternate ending to the Dog Days series, which will release in a few days.

Right. I better quit yapping before I sound like a hypnocrite.

Huge love and thanks to all the pups, for being here and for every bit of your support.

WOOF RUFF!
