Update - 17th Feb - I NEED your input!!! (Patreon)

Hey all 🙂I just wanted to share an update. Bit of a personal one, to be honest.Recently, I've moved into doing GenderPlay Books as more of my job and less as a hobby. You may have noticed how posts are coming in far more regularly. I'm happy that I'm able to focus more on this work.However, over the last few weeks, I've been struggling with my own mental health. Not only do I have to do with all of the ups and downs of having my gender dysphoria spike, but I've been feeling pressured by my work and frankly lost. Very very lost!Youtube, for example, the content continues to perform badly. Now, as much as I want to enjoy my work for the sake of being creative, if video after video performs badly, it's only natural to assume that it's bad content or at best, boring. When I look at the other TG content being created, it's less about a compelling story and more about the sexual aspects (i.e my gf forced me to be a girl) Compound that with over saturation of Ai written and generated content (which yes, I use Ai for imagery), it feels like my audio series no longer have a place or really an audience. For example, episode one of Lara's Story (which is my worst performing video for a long time) cost a fair amount to produce (my time writing, editing and producing/artwork/audio work)I know that doesn't really matter because art means something different to everyone, but I have to start thinking as GPBs as a business (as it supports and my family)The reason why I'm sharing is again that lost feeling. I'm struggling to enjoy writing anymore as I feel it no longer has a following. Now, obviously, I suffer from ADD, and my current hyper focus is away from written work (and will likely go back as I move onto the next hyper focus), but I have a question I want to ask you all and a reply would be greatly appreciated 👏 Firstly, thank you so much for supporting me. I could do this without you. So, here's the question....What content are you actually interested in seeing from me??Note - I'm not talking particularly about stories individually. Do we read the written work? Do we watch the videos? Do we read the manga stories I've been makin?. What type of content do you actually want to see?? (Longer form sagas like Sonyas story or would be prefer simple stories just focused on the TG element)Context - I'm not the strongest when it comes to descriptive writing. Since starting the Sora series, I've realised that 1. That style of storytelling tends to be more popular than my written worm across all the platforms I use.2. I feel I'm able to tell much more concise and compelling stories in that format, as opposed to my actual writing. 3. The panels don't take up as much of my time with editing (for example, I don't have to spend 2 hours doing an art script for an artist). So I therefore enjoy it more. Now, I love having art made and my stories brought to life, but I am able to tell a story a lot quicker in the Sora format (less waiting for me to get around to something)Well. Sorry if this was a bit ranty. I guess what I'm asking (but still answer the question above). Would we be opposed to the Sora style storytelling more often and less of the written work? My friends. This is your chance to guide me. Please, give me your honest thoughts.GPB xxxx
