Reorganizing
🕑 Added 2017-10-18 22:22:25 +0000 UTC Hey y'all,I've been thinking that I'll need to spread things out here on Patreon soon. Closing commissions did help me out a bit with getting a break from writing, but as it currently stands, I've finished one story for this month and still have two or three more, and I'm not really pleased with the quality of what I'm putting out and can't seem to get it to where I want it to be.
I wanna get your input first, though, since I'd feel really bad about just scrapping all my rewards - since as a writer rather than visual artist, I don't really have a lot to give you other than WIP access and full stories. I can't really do little sketches or fast requests or anything like that. It's always a full effort, and I can't really do that like I want to right now.
I'm definitely thinking that the $10 reward tier, for the raffle-type story every four months, will have to go. It was a lot of fun at first, but I've long since started running dry on ideas (especially when I get "same as last time" as the info for the story for five cycles in a row) and it's not really that enjoyable to me anymore. Like I said before, I've gotten a bit sick of writing so much porn all the time, but that's what you guys follow me & pay me for. So I don't know.
And then the $25 tier - I was thinking of stretching out the intervals between rewards (maybe to four months, but that's a really long time), and lowering the cost at the same time. If I leave things as they are with both of these tiers, then every now and then they both line up and all of a sudden I have six or seven stories to do in one month, and I just can't do that with my current pace.
All of this is also why progress is so slow on wander. I've stretched out so that now it's taking me one to two weeks to finish a story, and if I take time in between to work on another chapter, that pushes everything else I need to do back. Honestly right now, I think I'd love nothing more than to finish up everything I need to do for other people & then putting a hold on rewards here, just so I can focus on that and on other personal projects.
So what do you guys think? This is all assuming you're here for the rewards rather than the support (which is probably true, since only one of you selected 'no reward' with your pledge), but with the way things are going & how I'm currently feeling, I won't be able to maintain this for much longer unless something suddenly clicks into place and I get back into my flow.
