Pausing September cycle to work on exciting technology! (Patreon)

Immediate Disclaimer: I want to still put out a couple small animations, maybe pinups in September. It just won't be "the big storyboarded one" like it usually is!
Hi lovelies,
This has been difficult decision to make but I'm going to pause September. The last couple months I've been not properly scheduling my work and feeling like I'm forcing out the animations faster than I should be.
Part of the pain in the animation process is all the annoyances of Blender, in how it's constantly trying to rise up against me, and it's demoralizing. Objectively speaking, Blender is very powerful, but it has one of the worst user experiences/interface designs in the creative software industry. It's like for every 1 task you accomplish, it creates 2 new problems to try and ruin your art.
You may not know this, but I am a skilled programmer. So I'd like to pause September and work on some new private addons for Blender that will simplify a lot of the things I try to do in animation. I want to turn complicated things I try to do into simple automated functions. Essentially, using programming to make sure important parts of my animation workflow in Blender always work correctly with minimal effort, so I'm not setting things up manually, and suffering at the whim of the software's insanely picky GUI behaviors.
