State of the Sabrewolf - Monthly recap March (Patreon)

Got a bit to say here, so bear with on the explanation of everything. ^. .^;

So, this March was not what one would consider ideal. After FurSquared at the end of February I caught a rather nasty upper respiratory infection that knocked me out of commission for the first few weeks of March. It was unfortunate as Iron Pen was supposed to start right afterwards, and even with the time off the push was to get started so that we could get things done. So around the third week to March I attempted to get the Iron Pen started again to get things done.

It didn't go well.

Whether it was just the push to get things done or as a result of the sickness the Iron Pen kicked off an insane bout of insomnia for the last two weeks. It has probably been the worst crash and burn on an Iron Pen since I've started doing this, and at some point one has to cut their losses and adapt. I had intended on trying to push for another week of Iron Pen and then move what's left to May, but the longer that I have doing the more it's clear that this isn't working until I fix the insomnia and other health issues that have cropped up from it.

So instead I'll be ending this disaster of an Iron Pen today and adapting in order to recover. Starting on Monday I'll be doing a '9-on' style of writing, it's something that I did before but stopped when the Iron Pens took off. Basically for April I'll start at 9am and write for three to six hours, that way I can get time in the day to recover and also start setting the habits to get healthier. I would like to be around for a while, and this is how that happens.

I know this means pushing back commissions and the opening for more by another month or so, but there was no way I could continue what I was doing and fix ongoing health issues. I can also use the weeks in April to catch up on a few things before hitting the new Iron Pen in May. It always sucks when a plan doesn't come together but it's thanks to this place and all of you that I can pull back and slow down so that I can take care of myself.

So that's really it for the recap, plans for April is to recover and continue to get work done. Webcomics are doing well and I'm hoping to get more people into the ruby sabrewolf tier to pay for more pages, it would take pressure off me for rewards here and I can support more furry comic artists.

TL:DR - Got sick, tried to push the Iron Pen, got sicker, now need to step back and recover while getting stuff done.

That's it everyone, thanks for reading. Hopefully April will be a much better month then this one was.
