Been Delayed This Week (Patreon)

I should've said something sooner but I kept thinking it would get better but it really hasn't. My mood has been very low this week and it's made working on the next chapter rough. It's almost done, though, so I'm hoping tonight or tomorrow.

I haven't explicitly said so but in the interest of transparency I've been tapering down from an antidepressant for like 4 months now and this entire last month has seen some pretty rough withdrawal side effects. Nothing serious- I don't want people to worry- just headaches, lethargy, and issues with concentration being the big one that's slowing me down. It's what I meant when I said brain fog before.

I'm only bringing it up because I have an explicit reason things are taking me longer and I'd rather be upfront about that since it will presumably get better within a few weeks. I'm just really upset about the timing since I didn't know I would put out a hugely successful book while going through this, so now that my readership (i.e. you patrons) has exploded in numbers I'm stressed that it's happening at a time I'm not able to deliver at my fullest.

If it doesn't improve within a few weeks I'll bite the bullet and taper at a slower pace but I would rather give it some more time so that I didn't just waste 4 months getting to this point. It's just a shitty situation and not the best time for it career-wise but it is what it is.

At least I'll have some new art to post for you guys soon and as I said the next chapter is mostly done and I hope to get it up within the next day.
