Content update! (Patreon)

Well, this is something new! Another update within a week of my monthly one! Though this update is an important one, as it relates to me as a writer and you, as my patrons, so let's get into it! As some people may have already noticed, I have changed up one of the tiers a bit to reflect that I'm no longer offering artwork. It wasn't an easy decision, but it is one I came to, with a little help and insight from my wife.Though I love art and would love to create amazing pieces for everyone to enjoy, it's not in the deck of cards for me at the moment. Because I work so hard at my day job and every day after work with writing, my wife noted that I was spreading myself too thin, trying to add artwork to my already stacked pile. Effectively, I had to make a choice between either doing art or writing, as I only have enough time right now to do one. Thus, I chose to focus on writing, as it is what I do best and what you, my patrons, enjoy the most.That's not to say that I won't ever do artwork, but that I won't do artwork right now. As it is, my daily schedule is swamped with everything that needs to get done and everything I need to get caught up on. So, for the moment, artwork is on indefinite hold, until I can reach the point where I have the time to be able to focus on both and not burn myself out. I know some of you will be disappointed to hear this, as you might have been hoping for some cool sketches. But worry not, as I am looking into possibly commissioning an artist or two to do some work for me in the future. I hope that everyone understands this step I had to take and isn't too disappointed about it.Another thing I wanted to speak about was what I offer to some of my patrons. I've noticed how some people are a bit shy when speaking to me and haven't really asked about the rewards they are due. I know for some people it may seem a bit daunting to speak to a creator whose content you enjoy. If you want to talk and ask me about certain rewards that fall under the tier you have pledged to, please, by all means, speak up! The one thing I love is interacting with my fans and patrons and hearing their feedback and insight about the stories that I write. I also like hearing about critiques, which I know may sound weird, but I do want to hear them. Critiques help me evolve as a writer and they give me the insight I need to hone my craft further, so I can get one step closer to perfecting it. Well, that's all that I wanted to talk about today and I hope that everyone understands the direction I'm heading in. Cheers!
