Rewards List Part 3 (Patreon)

Last installment of posts to help me keep track of the past few months, reviewing the funding goals. Always planned on cutting back Office Job hours and move toward making FE full time when the $900 goal was hit, but that was when I was living in a two-income household.Now I've got a better idea of what my monthly budget will be moving forward, and have updated future goals to work towards for making FE a full-time job. Also, the verbiage of previous goals was updated to better explain how they'll be met, which I'm also elaborating on here:Mirror WebsiteCurrently looking at different services to set this up. I was setting aside funds for hiring a website designer as described in the goal, but a lot of the options I'm looking at negate the need for hiring one, or have their own design staff on hand. Because of this, what was the web designer fund I'm now using as a basic hiring fund when a project needs extra help. (For example, when I had to hire an awesome person to take photos for the cover of FE volume 2.)
Monthly Short StoriesThis will be starting next year, since I will not be starting any new short story projects until after the Otterton comic is completed. Also, to help prevent a project from taking as long as Otterton has, they'll be a bit shorter, most likely 16-20 pages instead of 20-24. But the digital and print copy rewards will still apply.
Offset PrintingReally excited about this one! Not in a position right now to order hundreds of books at a time like offset requires, but after going over my new budget, I now can set aside some funds each month with that goal in mind. Looking at different companies to see what options are available, if planned right the next book could be printed this way!
...Wow, between these three lists, it's a lot of work. But I'm looking forward to it! Thank you all so much for your kind words, patience, and support this summer.(By the way, sketch above was an earlier version of March's wallpaper idea. The final version changed Ferguson to Cat.)
