Update and Changes

Having the plague sucks.

I'm like 99.5% better but still occasionally have moments where I feel short of breath. I'm pretty proud that i only missed one story upload during my sickness(because i thought i was having a covid cause heart attack. I didn't. Obviously survived and the doctors my EKG was beautiful haha.). But it really hurt my productivity. I went from writing 3 stories a week for a few months, to barely managing 1. My other writing projects fell behind too.

But for the last few months I've been posing on a shoe string, with barely any buffer between me writing a story and revising and posting it. And the last couple weeks the stores I've written have been shorter than i typically like. I'm fine with it because they're preparing for a bigger event.

But i need to make some changes. Summer is typically unproductive for my writing for an umber of reasons, let along recovering from a plague.

So here is the change going forward for awhile: I will be going from two posts a week to one post a week. And because i don't want you all to feel like you're getting less for the same price, I'm going to be doubling the exclusivity time for stories. So you get stories a full month in advance. This sill start at the start of next month.


Its because i need to get ahead, i need to build up a backlog again. I'm pretty burnt out and it sucks trying to scramble to get stories out. Once i get a sizeable backlog again, I will resume two posts a week.

Another reason for this change is that I've been writing this series for over a year and a half. And to be honest I'm pretty burnt out on it. If i keep up the current pace, i can't promise that I'll continue any of it past the conclusion of the current arc. Maybe I'd do a story here and there but not much beside that. With an easier pace, i can let the burnout ride and then get on top of things with fresh eyes once i get to that point.

Another another thing is that because I'm barely keeping up with the two stories a week, i wont be able to keep up with other stuff coming up. Weight gaming's game jam, for example. Last year with 26 entries it was more than 40 hours to play and grade each of the projects. it was emotionally and intellectually exhausting.

Also Deviantart's changes really absolutely sucked out a lot of my enthusiasm by ruining a bunch of my work flows. They've made it harder for me to do literature, and they've made changes that mean less people seem to see my stuff.

With this extra time i do plan on working on other projects. I've got a vore/wg visual novel project I've been outlining. I've got the framework for a fetish master mod in mind. No promises. But I'll be using the extra time to work on stuff, not just taking it easy.
