An important life update!!!!!!!!!! (Patreon)

been extra busy with new work (community specialist for a company that creates online content). I'm learning new stuff that I can eventually use in community management for The Ridleys and Patreon. Right now tho, a big portion of my energy is spent on work, and then this album, and then live gigs.

For Patreon subscribers who might want to take a break from support, it's no problem! I'll keep this patreon up since this is where I leave my drafts, but feel free to withdraw support since I can't post as much as I used to + live online gigs are really not allowed by my schedule and energy. I still will post song snippets, and full song drafts, just not as consistently as when I started.

I don't know where this chapter of my life will lead me, but I really hope I get to pour out my all in music again. If I ever go back to focusing on my craft, I'll "come back" better than ever, with new skills and new ways of doing things. Though I'm not really leaving, just kind of on "low-power" mode nowadays. Still productive music-wise, all things considered.

I feel like this is the period in my life where I get to sit down and actually produce the ideas I came up with years ago, with Until I Reach the Sun, and the still unnamed album 3. It's just that alongside this period, I also have to make money for myself and keep myself afloat, hence the job. Thanks for your support, though, because I get to feed the band with this money during rehearsals and recordings, while our band streams and live shows fund the actual recording.

Thanks so much for everyone who's been with me on this journey! If there's anyone who's been a patron for a considerable amount of time, and you'd want permanent access to this Discord, feel free to message and I'll gladly give you the status, so you can view content without having to pay a monthly.

I appreciate all the support you've given me the past weeks, both financially and by actually listening to the stuff I create.

I'm tempted to show you the second half of the art for Until I Reach the Sun, but maybe some of you don't want to be spoiled. Send me a message if you do want to see it, though!

Dreams are turning into reality!!!!! I am tired but very, very grateful.
