Seriously, I'm Gonna Do It This Time (Patreon)

So, talking to some other authors, they all brought something up.

I'm not posting to this frequently, nor do I have any really up there Patrons Only posts.

I answered that I figured everyone was donating so I didn't have to work 60 hours a week and still try to write.

I also answered that you guys know that I can't seem to write anywhere but the Reddit Submission Box.

My final answer was that I figured all of you would prefer that, if I'm going to write anything, you'd rather having me writing on First Contact than writing here.

Still, I was told pretty plainly that I'm making a mistake and taking all of you for granted.

Number One: I don't. I appreciate every single dime donated and every single person donating.

Number Two: Times are tough. Real tough. Which makes me appreciate every single patron even more, and I really understand when people have to withdraw or lower their donation. I mean, what says "Pack o' Smokes" should say "Loaf of Bread" now.

Number  Three: I'm only able to do this and work a few days a week, to the point that my wife wants me to retire in December and just write so I'm not so stressed out and burning the candle at both ends. (She said she'd rather be poor and have me not stressed and driving so much)

So, I figured I'd put up a poll.

EDIT: One thing is, I know that the Reddit Community helped build this, so I'm NOT going to cut them out, and anything done for Patrons would be, hell, I don't know. (I"m not really comfortable with going to full Patron posts)

Unlike some people, I know I am popular WITH Reddit, not popular BECAUSE of Reddit. I'm not some 5-star writer, with #1's on Amazon and stuff. My fans are all of you from Reddit.

I'm not going to forget where I started, who I started with, and who has been with me through this.
