Oh hello. I didn't see you there. Welcome to March! (Patreon)

January & February In Review

Mow! Okay so in February we'd already hit $50 a month, which was the goal I set for voting, and then I ended up not even doing an update post that month. I didn't really have a good reason for it either, the main reason I didn't was that I had like barely any output in January and I felt really bad about that.

However! As you might know, if you've been keeping up with the story previews I've posted, is that some things have changed, things that make it waaaay easier for me to write again.

In January, I wrote a total of 1,719 words in a single oneshot, From Null. Besides that, there was nothing else.

In February, I only wrote about 2,174 words of my side of Foxgirl Paradise, and that was it. 

That is, until I stopped taking spironalactone in the mornings. One of the common side effects of taking that medicine is something referred to as "brain fog", which basically just makes it harder to concentrate on things. And, well, that's exactly what happened. Since the last time my dosage was bumped up (around mid-last-year) my output has slowed down more and more until I was barely ever getting any writing done. (It was so much easier to get distracted on things, you know?)

After I stopped taking spironalactone, which was about mid-February, until the end of the month, I finished a oneshot called Attempt #2 for 1,080 words, wrote 7,651 words of The Realm of the Arctic Fox, wrote a new chapter of What You Think I Am, totalling another 6,127 words, and I finished my side of Foxgirl Paradise, taking the total in that chapter to 3,235 words.

That brings my monthly total in February to 18,093 words, which is over ten times what I wrote in January.

So yeah. When I say things are getting better, that's a fact. I'm so excited to get back to all these stories and finish some stuff, honestly.

March Voting

Okay, so we're finally at the voting goal, so that means this month we're going to try out the voting thing.    To refresh your memory, here's a list of all my current stories and stories on hiatus:

• What You Think I Am 
• The Realm of the Arctic Fox 
• Snowbound 
• Runaway (Needs a bit of rewriting in the last few chapters to leave hiatus)
• Foxcat (Needs rewrite in earlier chapters to remove the Discord TF stuff so I can post on scribble, and then once that's done I have a WIP chapter I can finish and share)
• Nekokai: The World That Shouldn't Have Been (Needs full rewrite to leave hiatus)
• What Happens When You Meet A Witch (I'm not sure if I'm cut out to continue this one anymore, this story is kinda a mess. But I'd be willing to give it a shot)
• That Time When My Entire Family was Reincarnated as an Adventurer's Guild (unpublished oneshot, just need to write a fight scene) 
• My Ongoing Struggle Against the Bad "Woke Up as a Girl" Tropes (unpublished episodic comedy, halfway through the first chapter)
• untitled indiana-jones-style genderswap thingy (unpublished, needs a lot of work)
• Something new???

Number of votes for each Patron tier:

• Ferret ($1) 1
• Racoon ($2) 2
• Rabbit ($5) 3
• Kitty ($10) 5
• Red Panda ($25) 10

Okay, so using the above list of novels, allocate your votes. For example, if you have 3 votes, you could assign two to Nekokai and one to Snowbound. 

And then I'll take the results of the vote, basically use it to figure out what to write, what you all want to see, etc. I'll try my best to make sure whatever gets voted for the most gets a chapter! If I'm stuck, I might talk about it in the patrons channel on the Discord (don't forget to connect your Discord to Patreon so you get access to that channel!)

You can send me your votes in any way, in the comments here, in a PM here, through Discord, etc.

Thank You

I'm honestly so, so thankful that you've all stuck around while it's been quiet on my end. Like, I was pretty resigned to losing half of you because I couldn't keep up with writing anymore. But, no, you're all still here, you've all stuck around. And that's like, incredible to me. I don't know how to thank you enough. So I guess that means I'll thank you by continuing to write, and trying to make your patronage worth every penny 🤍

Thanks again, everyone. I'll see you in April!
