An update you guys should read

Hey guys, so since I've been taking longer to finish my stories, I decided to change my approach. I'm going to work on multiple stories at once, so that in the event of getting writer's block on one story, I have others to work on and can come back to the other later. I'll also no longer be taking commissions for the foreseeable future so that I can focus more on stories I want to focus on.
Because of this, I'll be changing my approach to Patreon as well. Now $1 patrons will still get access to finalized stories at least one week early before I make them public, but since I'm working on multiple, I'll likely post a finished story every 2 months, instead of every month (or at least until I've built up a fair amount of stories I'm working on where I can schedule their release). I understand that $1 patrons might not like this, but I'm finding it less strenuous to work this way.
However, $5 patrons will get more for their money's worth. They'll get more frequent posts of story drafts in progress, with multiple stories, so they don't have to keep waiting for one particular draft to be updated. I'm not sure how many drafts I'll end up posting per month, but it will definitely be more frequent then it's been in the past. On top of all this, $5 patrons will still have their names credited at the end of each story (unless they tell me not to credit them), they'll still be able to offer input or suggestions for the stories and possible ideas for future stories. I've lost a few $5 patrons the past 2 months and I realized that it was likely due to not doing much to separate the $5 tier as an upgrade from the $1 tier, and I'm hoping this will be a good way to do it.
Times are tough right now, but I appreciate all 7 of my patrons that have stuck around despite my bouts of unproductive depression, infrequent upload schedule and lack of communication.
