As of today I am 110% broke. (Patreon)

As in both poor and in debt! And it seems like nobody else around me is faring much better these days. Hope to get some kind of 9-5 soon, but it's tough when you don't have a car. Would be willing to walk miles to work, but my family's forbidden it.
Sincerely, all I have is my Patreon. That's the only profit I've got, and... I'm making progress with it lately, but not as fast as I thought. I had what looked like this big surge of 30+ patrons last month and it gave me a lot of hope, only for like half of them to cancel...
Still growing, like I said. Just, served as a reminder that it's slow-going. And man, I really don't feel like I have a lot of time to turn things around. Two steps forward, one step back. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a little demoralizing. Honestly, kind of gutting whenever I see the numbers go back down. When you're at my size, it's... hard not to notice...
All that said... I cannot stress enough how important every Twitter follower, DA watcher or Patreon member is to me. Everyone that sticks by me, you're essential to me. You're why I'm able to grow. You keep me going, and for you, I'm working as hard as I can to get better. I'm always trying to improve my animations, my pictures, sharpen up my writing skills... most notably I've made big strides in productivity. I've got a more consistent output than ever before, and I've figured out a way to do it without burning myself out.
I'm not giving up, I've come too far to stop. One of my weaknesses has always been my networking since I'm always shy with strangers and all that. But next month, I'm gonna try to make some strides there. Maybe get some collaborations going, who knows.
I feel like with the way I'm writing this, people are going to expect it to end with a GoFundMe link or something... maybe I am in that bad of a spot, I'm not sure yet. For now I just, really felt like venting.
...Five years running now and I still feel pretty small-time. But believe me, I have every intention of becoming one of the big shots of Femdom works. In spite of everything, I've never been more confident that I can get there.
This, I owe, to all who believe in me. Thank you.
