Here I am, Day One. (Patreon)

Hello everyone, OrbOrigin here. I feel like it has been such a long time, yet so short too.  I am not sure how to even begin with this post, haha.  I hope everyone has been eating and doing well.

As you may already guessed from the title above; yes, I have returned.  I am happy to say that starting today, I have returned to my office to finally resume production on A Mother’s Love.  Again, to clarify, this is an office return -- meaning there will be no Part 12 available yet.  I will need time to write and create Part 12.

It has been nearly two years since my hiatus and I will admit that I do feel a bit out of practice running my Patreon page, and for the most part the way I run things will remain the same.  However, I would like to address slight changes that will be happening, and maybe get some feedback from you all.

As many of you may know, and if you didn’t,  I have been living by myself.  There are responsibilities that I have to do outside of production, and it will affect the time that I put into A Mother’s Love.  In other words, I will end up with fewer updates compared to how it was before.  But no worries,  just like before, if I were to surpass a certain time period, whether it be two or three months, I will stop the billing cycle until the update is ready.  I just think it is important to address this slight change in my production because I don’t want to give the impression of monthly updates with my return and disappoint anyone.

Speaking of the billing cycle, I’ve also decided to keep the billing paused until it hits August.  The reason is because I doubt I will have much to offer in those times and believe it is only fair as I will be using the 2nd half of June and the whole month of July to slowly adjust back into work.

The tiers will remain the same as well, and I will resume their benefits in August too.  I sure hope you are all excited to see more Fan Signs and GIFs of Nicole Heavens!  One thing I would like to talk about is the WIP benefits for Earth-Child Tier. I was thinking that instead of showing the WIP screenshots that I normally do, maybe I could show some of the WIP scripts as well.  Maybe a line or two of dialogue or something?  Let me know what you think, and if you guys like that idea I could try to add that into the benefit for Earth-Child Tier.  (I think I may have done something similar in the past, but I got feedback that it was too much of a spoiler? Please do let me know as I don’t actually remember.)

As for those who are interested in my personal life and how I am doing, I am feeling fine.  I am no longer heavily stressed out like I was before, and I felt that I was able to properly grieve for the first time ever since my Father had left.  I’m still working on my physical health, but my mental health has become more stable, and although there are still times where it frightens me to think where life would take me next, I do know that I am in a lot better state as a whole than I was ever before.  Without a doubt, all I want to do is resume A Mother’s Love.  As for the lawsuit, it has been dismissed.  Neither side has won or lost, and I truly hope that’s the end of it.

Last but not least, I want to thank everyone who’s shown support and was extremely nice and kind to me for the last two years.  I know there were times where it seemed A Mother’s Love was never ever coming back, and I know I am not the best at communicating with you all and I deserved all the hateful and doubtful comments, but all your positive messages are what kept my light lit.  The faith you’ve all shown me is truly remarkable, I cannot express it enough.  I will do the best I can and continue to live up to your trust that you all have given me so I deserve it.  Thank you all very much from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you all for taking a moment of your time to read this long post, and I hope we all continue this new journey together for more ongoing years, not just for A Mother’s Love, but for future stories and projects too.  As usual, see you soon.

PS.  Special thank you to Raminita for her amazing work as she provided me with yet another banner for my Patreon page.  It is such an honor and privilege.  Please, show her some love as none of the banners wouldn't have existed without her.
