Thank You Patrons 2019 (Patreon)
Content
Hi all!
You probably didn't know it, but today is a special day for the Patreon Community. It's the day creators like myself take the time to thank our patrons!
This page started on the last day of August in 2017. Now, just a little over two years later, I have just over five hundred patrons and am slowly creeping toward my goal of financial freedom and being able to do this full time for a living.
This dream of mine has always been an uphill climb, but I have always owned the fact that if people are willing to give me their hard-earned money to keep writing then I should be doing my best to keep improving and giving back.
I am constantly reinvesting money from patreon in order to accomplish two things. The first is to have a career outside of Patreon and make lasting content. The second is to create a community here that is just more than chapter posts. This includes artwork, Special Editions, (etc) and I absolutely hate how long it takes for me to make these things for you, and am SO appreciative of your patience.
Last year, I used patreon money to fund my own publishing company. I can't tell you how useful this has already been to me in creating professional products and being able to avoid the stigma that comes with indie publishing (I could seriously write a small book on the advantages alone). The company has protected me and my works from copyright infringement and ensured that I can keep moving forward with my stories.
This year, I actually took some creative writing classes to up my game! I did these online and learned that some things I already knew, but also how to improve the things I didn't. I couldn't have afforded the time or money for this otherwise, and have already been pleased with the results.
In the next six months, I am hoping to have a few more fun rewards for my patrons, similar to the Special Edition. I wanted these done earlier, but good stuff takes time and money. To that end, I saved up most of my Patreon income for the last few months to create some of these things. Operation: SongBird is one of these things, and it will be available as a Patreon reward (more details pending). From the beginning, I have said that you deserve smart, sexy, and quality erotica, but it's so much more than that.
As my patrons, you deserve the best that I can do. With your support, I think we can create something special here that doesn't exist anywhere else.
Thank you for your support. You're amazing.
