General Update on life and things

Heyya guys it's almost the end of the year, both Slow City and Hyper Healing are gonna be wrapping up their public publishing fairly soon and Short on Sex and Time is well into development while I'm writing this so I wanted to just get some stuff written out to tell you where my heads at and what's been going on, and some plans for next year.

So first off my big personal life goal for this year was to move out of my parents, that didn't happen. I'm not beating myself up over but it is a bit of a reality check for things I need to do to reach this goal. The biggest thing stopping me is the amount of money I make per month from both patreon and commissions, as I'm usually about $500-$1K short per month for being able to realistically live on my own. As much as I wish I could keep doing comics and patreon forever that's just not feasable unless I get substantial patreon growth next year along with raising my commission prices which will be happening next month. However, I will not be stopping patreon if this goal doesn't happen I love my comics and the stories and want to keep making them but come next year there output may slow down. I mention comic speed because recently you guys have seen me try to start a second comic alongside Short on Sex and Time, while I plan to line the Bowser and Peach one doing so while I need to make a majority of my income from commissions and save my wrist energy to do so isn't possible along with Dragonic Blessings it's possible those comics might be shelved but will be able to come back more consistently when I reach a higher patreon goal. So with that said the goal for next year is to get Patreon to be able to cover my rent for potential places I'm looking and in return I'll be able to start production of two comics at the same time OR put more time into one comic I.E dedicating two days to comics instead of one.

Secondly commissions, as of late this is how I've been making all of my money and it's where I'll be focusing a lot of my efforts in the near future as for the first time in a long time I have a considerable by my standards backlog to get through so expect to see a lot more commissions on the patreon page as I'm not always the best with uploading and posting them here.

Lastly, next year and the future, what do I have planned?
Frankly nothing concrete yet. All of my ideas are just loose plannings at the moment that I plan to write out and really delve into once S.o.S.A.T is done but those loose ideas include A Pink Gator Remi comic, Possibly something more contained to Dragonic Blessings, Slow City Vol. 2, Maybe a risk of rain 2 comic?, and Hyper Healing Vol. 5 which is either going to be the final volume where I use Raina as the main character or a more return-to-form comic that focuses on her dealing with hypered up patients, which ever Vol. 5 turns into will mostly likely depend on my mindset at the time and what I have going on but will most likely be decided somewhat by patrons. Additionally there is another comic that is in development BUT is not written by me but rather my best friend and idea bunny Reddy (Those in the discord know he is my local highschool bully) when this comic is done is solely on them but will be illustrated by me. I'm also planning to move comics to be more patreon focused, what I mean by that is comics will be fully or mostly finished before even being posted publically, and will most likely leave the first comic of next year up to a patreon poll/ decision.

I hope this has been a nice insight into what I have planned and the reality of my situation as I know I'm pretty closed off and don't talk too much but I wanna make sure you guys know what's really going on.
Hope y'all have a good rest of your day!
