Last post of the decade... (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone! No news on the hand but I found out that my hockey insurance may give me a payment from “loss of work” from my Patreon. They need some documentation though. Hmmm, which comic should I send Hockey Canada? Lol.
No... I’m going to send them a screen grab of patreon earnings lost in November and January.
Clever old guy sent me some great suggestions for my discord and some ideas for patreon tiers. Three pages packed with a reorg so I’ll sort through it and hopefully will make the discord easier and more fun to use.
This decade has been the absolute worst of my life and I’m happy to see it gone.
2011 - Father passed away
2012 - I had a depressive panic attack from some strange weed that lasted 4 days.
2013 - I had a relapse that went on for months.
2013 - Amazon banned me from selling my comics permanently. Gave up drawing comics.
2013 - my sister lost her mind and we found her weeks later in filth (alive... thank God!)
2014 - My brother moved away to the USA.
2014 - mother sold her house and moved me, my sister and herself into a new one.
2015 - Brother moved back into the house after running out of money in the USA.
2015 - EBay shut down my full time 15year old business without any reason. They refused to talk to me to explain.
2016 - Sister kicked my mom out of her own house! (told u she was nuts)
2016 - Brother moved out of the house and back to the USA.
2017 - Sister suddenly took off and moved out. Mother moved back in.
2019 - Sister, brother and mom doing better now. Me also.
Whew. What an awful experience with family. Just a tornado happening around me while I was trying to get better. I feel good now but am really weary when anyone in the family declares they’d like “to make a change” at my expense.
Good things that happened this decade?
Shortly after Amazon banned me I started up Patreon. It could never replace having four best selling books on the kindle... right? Wrong! You guys have been SUPER supportive and your support has actually freed me from Amazon’s super restrictive content rules. Now you guys are allowing me to draw the comics I really want to draw and the stories YOU want to read.
So... the decade came out a push? Maybe a win?
Okay... who am I kidding... it’s been a massive disaster!
Looking forward to the 20’s with tons of excitement. Hopefully it will all start with great news from my hand doctor in a week.
Thanks everyone for being the ONLY positive thing in this decade.
I hope I was able to brighten up your decade a bit too!
See you when the clock hits 2020!
