GUESS WHO WROTE THIS POST YESTERDAY, THEN ACCIDENTALLY LEFT IT IN DRAFT STATE. ANYWAY, I QUITI might write a more detailed post at some point, and I haven't decided if I'm gonna make an announcement video or w/e until things are actually wrapped up, but: I did it, I told my boss I'm out, and while (for reasons that are ultimately beneficial to me) my last day won't be until the end of the month, the deed is effectively done.I don't know that I definitely would have gone through with this without the huge outpouring of support from all of you. I like to think I would have, but I also don't like fooling myself, and in any case, I'm glad I didn't have to find out.I will be honest: When this idea initially occurred to me, I said to several people "I think my audience is tapped out, and to get up to a comfortable monthly income I would need to push hard for new subscribers, and I'm worried I can't manage that." I really did not expect you to make this kind of statement; I did not think I was worth this kind of investment. So I wasn't completely certain that I was going to go through with it.Well, after the first six hours of pledge upgrades I said to myself, "ah, I guess I don't have much choice now, do I?" I could maybe have let myself down by bailing on this, but not all of you. This is the good kind of "getting backed into a corner," to be clear - like an intervention that makes you clean up your life.I have already had my first minor panic attack over "what if i run out of Content" and similar worries. More will come, I'm sure. Really, though, my list of practical concerns and doubts is short and largely specious. I think this will all work out Fine, and I'm looking forward to finding out what I'm going to do.
