Scheduling Update and Info! (Patreon)

Hello folks! I wanted to talk about something that's been on my mind the past few months; I will keep this as brief as I can!

For awhile my update schedule has drifted all over the place; I used to be proud that I was able keeping it consistent, but I found that over long periods of time, it added a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety to work that I otherwise enjoyed. Since the deadlines were self imposed to give myself structure, I've let go of the consistent scheduling to reduce my issues. I still do my best to post every week; lately, I have been working Wednesday through Sunday, and taking Monday and Tuesday off, so updates are usually later in the week.

I wanted to assure you folks that I still take one thing absolutely seriously: all the pages for the month will be posted that month, no matter how my schedule slips week to week. Otherwise, you can request a refund, and I will give it without question. A standard month's content is, separated by subject/tier:

• at least 8 doodles
• 3 pages of The Dirt Crown
• 6 pages of The Black Lamb
• 6 pages of This Vacant Body

I'm not sure when or if I'll be able to return to a very consistent schedule, but I assure you, if I start missing these numbers, I'll pause this Patreon until I can sort myself out. I've only missed it unintentionally once, and generally don't have a problem meeting this goal. 

There are lots of folks who have replied to the posts I've made about similar topics with a lot of encouragement and positivity. I really appreciate those replies, and they really help with my anxiety!

However, I wanted to speak specifically to people who feel disappointed or frustrated; your feelings are totally valid, and please don't feel bad for feeling that way. I take the fact that I'm a business, and you folks are giving me money with certain expectations, very seriously. It's not morally right in my book to take money and then say "oops I couldn't finish this month, I'm only human!" 

I'm able to refund up to three months of payments for a patron, when Patreon's working correctly. So if you're feeling dissatisfied to the point where it's making you unhappy, please let me refund you, and don't feel bad for walking away. I would rather lose income than make someone who joined because they enjoyed my work feel cheated.

This post got long, so I'll finish by saying, please let me know if the expectations you had when you joined my Patreon were not met. If I'm communicating something incorrectly, or Patreon's automatic messages are communicating incorrectly, I should know about it so I can attempt to correct it. 

Thank you all!
