Halting My Service (Resisting Remastered)

Dear fans and readers,

For the past 9 months, I have been writing full time, since last September 2024.  I have put 100% of all my time and energy into running this service featuring my artful writing.  I consider it a great success, because I got a lot of support, enjoyed my time, and learned a lot about myself.  I greatly appreciated your love, compliments, kindness, and support all so much. It was fun learning what would happen if I gave my writing my all for the better part of a year.

Unfortunately, I have run out of savings and funding with which I can fund this project. At this time, I need to pivot into something that can fully sustain my humble cost of living.  I will need to get a regular job or figure something else out.  I have learned that giving my time and energy to my writing leads to a financial situation that is unsustainable for me. I cannot downgrade to doing this part-time because I need to now shift gears to create the funding that I need to ensure my own survival.

I will likely go back to IT, become a taxi driver, get a job in the food industry, go back to teaching, or pursue new and different ideas that can guarantee my financial success for the sake of putting food on the table. I have no aspirations of becoming rich, but I'm certain that I'll need food for my hungry belly, and a roof over head to keep the rain off of me.

I thank you tremendously for joining me in experiencing this art, and giving me your time and appreciation.  I am posting the full entirety of what I had written towards my remake of Resisting on the way out.  I had big plans for Jaime Parker, but I need to set this all aside for now.

Many blessings upon you all.  I love you all.

I gave this writing dream the best effort I could.  I am fully satisfied with the result I got.  I appreciated you all so much and hope only good things come your way.

I am posting quite a bit of content on the way out. You might enjoy "Through the Screen" or some of the new chapters of Resisting. "The Haircut" in particular has been revamped to be quite a bit more interesting. The last two chapters "Goblin Strike" and "Hospital Bed" I was going to delete because I didn't like the way they turned out. I'm including them as "B-sides" content that was a glimpse at what may have been, sort of like "deleted scenes." I don't expect anyone to enjoy either of those two chapters, but I just figured I would post them anyway so you could see my "failures." I was going to rewrite both of those chapters entirely to make them up to my usual standard. I hope you enjoy this final piece of art.

I know that some of you will be disappointed. I'm bummed about that. It's stressful announcing that I will not be creating new works for now. I love you all a lot. I'm not "retiring," I just need to hard pivot and stop writing for now to get my finances in order.

Thanks again.

I really appreciated your kindness and inspiring remarks so much. They really lifted me up. I've been feeling down and that helped quite a lot. Thanks for telling me that my art was of a quality that you enjoyed. I learned from my past mistakes to never declare anything with finality. I never know what the future will bring. I wish you so much joy and success as well.

I completely understand! Real life as always proves to be the eternal enemy of giantess fiction writing haha. But this past year has been such an adventure of your top notch incredible talent and both your new ideas and remastering and continuation of old stories has been so amazing to see. I wish you joy and success in all your endeavors and I'm so glad to hear this isn't a permanent retirement just a well earned pause!

Yeah, it was a very hard and stressful decision. Sadly, I need to pay my rent and bills. It sucks. I really appreciated all your kind words and support. Much love friend.

Sounds like you're making the right decision for yourself at the right time, and though it was a hard one I'm confident it will bring you to greater joy. We'll all be here on the flipside if you look back our way, but otherwise I'm sure I speak for everyone in wishing you all our best on your path ahead. Always a brother.
