Hello everyone

Obviously it's been a while and I definitely owe my supporters an explanation.

Usually I don't go into details about my personal life but recently a culmination of home life problems and health concerns have slowed my progress down drastically and the anxiety of these issues have been quite difficult to deal with.

Apart from a fairly recent knee injury which I've been managing, I've been having issues with my vision. I've always had problems with my vision such as eye floaters but as of late I've been having symptoms of potentially dangerous issues and this has really made my mind spiral out of control concerning thoughts of complications from invasive surgeries and the like, especially considering I pretty much need my eyes to draw.

On the bright side, I have noticed that these things are subsiding and I've learned to manage it by limiting my screen time and the sort but I'm in the process of getting these issues looked at by professionals. However, the thoughts of them finding something threatening has filled me with a lot of anxiety, especially when it comes to vindictive parents who see any health concerns from an activity as evidence of comeuppance for not heeding their word... but that's a whole separate issue.

All this aside, I have made progress on the main story of Coastline Chronicles as well as some other projects I've been working on and will update you guys with that but the long periods of no updates coupled with reward inconsistency needs to change and I owe it all to my loyal supporters to... lock in. I've come to realize that despite all these recent complications I don't take my work as seriously as I should and have been working on trying to be more consistent and active.

I always find myself being ashamed of having to make these big updates about my current state in life because I get the impression it comes off as "making excuses" for not doing what I need to do but not leaving people in the dark is even worse.

Suffice to say I will use these last few days of May to make up for lost time and by next month if life is willing you will see more activity from me. Appreciate you guys and I apologize for the inactivity.
