Update On Personal Situation
🕑 Added 2022-08-04 20:53:08 +0000 UTCThought I'd keep you all updated as to my situation i.e. the post where I had to switch to none visual stuff.
First up, thank you to everyone who stuck by me for that, according to my stats as of today I am about halfway dropped in income, $694.98 on 1st July and $433.93 as of 1st August, I get it, rising fuel and energy bills as well as the fact my visual stuff is on hold I knew it would drop (but it shows I'm not just about the money, I'm about my health while still wanting to give you something rather than nothing), I'm both surprised and glad at the fact that it isn't as big a drop as I thought, honestly I genuinely thought it would be around the $100 - $150 area. Was scrabbling for a second job...oh and on that note:
Some of you may or may not know but in November i started a job cleaning in a Mortuary and attached offices, boss added an extra hour about 2 weeks back and today, I started another job, same company but different client: A food biotech lab, I'm not joking... they actually do have a lab, they're doing experiments to make fruit and vegetables last longer before going off, I clean the lab and the offices as well. So employment wise I started part time on 4 hours, which went up to 6, then the extra hour up to 7, then this one is 9 in total and starting next month it will be 12.
Both the mortuary and the lab are both small and are expanding with new people, I've already spoke to the operations manager of the mortuary to see if they'd be willing to train someone up for the Mortician assistant role before they release it on Indeed. He said he'd put me in the running for it but not to get my hopes up. It's not a nice job but...it's an opportunity.
In order to conquer that scary can't feel anything got no Dopamine feeling I started limiting my visual stuff, at best...captions and gifs, brain is wired to that crap but couldn't feel anything else. But...about a week or so ago, in anticipation of a drop to $100 or so dollars, I quit Krav Maga training, which saves me £40 a month, as well as walking to work rather than the bus, So Monday, Wednesday and Friday I'm walking about 3.4 miles there and then 3.4 back. This new job is 1.8 miles there and 1.8 back. I'm happy to say I've gone from 15st 10lbs on 28th March 2022 to 15st 2llbs on 26th July as well as I'm not spending £15 a week on bus tickets. So I'm getting about, exercising and rebuilding my attachment and rewiring to more real life pursuits.
As for the work on here, I'm really enjoying the novels, I've been updating them each and every day at least. I think I might focus on only 4-5 so I can really give them my all. Then when one is done I can create another one. Honestly I'm really glad a lot of you have stuck by me, and bizarrely new people have now joined my patreon, I assume most of you are from CHYOA that have been joining and enjoy my work? I'm back off break tomorrow and I'm way ahead of schedule, the book you voted for about Futa Cuckoldry in College is already up WAY before the deadline of 5th September, as well as 3/5 captions done (and posted on the MEGA link). I'll probably find something else for you to vote for while I'm ahead of schedule.*
It's really been an eye opener and I am honestly glad people have stuck by, I've been doing this so long I'd forgotten the world out there, the jobs, the people, interacting with flesh and blood human beings, exercising. I feel a LOT better for it. But I'd also like to thank everyone reading this, because...I did consider pulling everything, but you've all shown me there is a demand for futa novels and futa captions, the fact that I can still do something and give something back whilst being able to lead a healthy life and recover from stuff is awesome and it means to me that I can be stable and encouraged to continue and bring you more naughty stories.
Next few days I'm gonna be thinking of some extra stuff I might be able to do to make you get more bang for your buck. Until then, my thanks again.
* On that note I haven't been idle, I've found a voice actress who does commissions at $0.25 per word of a script. If I can come up with a script I can get an ASMR video done. To give you an idea of what that is, here is an example of one:

Now saving up enough cash on here I can start commissioning them, being able to write both the scripts and do the background ambience too.
