Hitting the pause button for October
Added 2020-09-18 12:08:06 +0000 UTCHello! Unfortunately I'm going to have to hit the pause for October (reasons below).
You who have been around for a while know how this works:
1. Existing Patrons (that means you, if you can read this) won't be charged any money on October 1st.
2. If you have cancelled this month, you will of course also not be charged, but please note I will put my Halloween bundle up for free again this year, next month.
3. I'll be back with new stuff in November.
Reasons
I know people are curious, and while I am a private person I feel I owe at least some explanation. I'm not in a great place at the moment, mentally, which I am sure many of you can relate to. Mental health issues in general is as much a global pandemic as any virus is at the moment.
Without going into details, there's just a bit too much going on in my immediate and extended family right now, and I haven't been able to do anything creative when I sit down in front of my workstation. Throughout the day I constantly catch myself clenching my jaw muscles, holding my breath, having then to force myself to relax my body and just breathe.
So, instead of half-assing an October release I'm going to take the rest of September off Patreon, pausing payments for October so you guys don't pay for nothing, and see if I can't get my head on straight enough to be back in action for November.
Take care of yourselves, listen to your bodies, and don't forget to breathe. Thank you for lending me your time, and I'll keep you updated when I have more to say :)

If this helps I joined here in October because I love your stuff on my mini factory and printing these guys makes me happy. No pressure on you I am happy to pay my $10 for the starter pack. It will keep me busy for a long time. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing you can do, and talking about it is even better. There is no shame. This sucks for all of us. I for one support you. Thanks again for the great starter pack.
