Schedule Update (Patreon)

Hi Everyone,

With the current interactive wrapping up, this seems like a good time to announce some adjustments to the schedule.  For the past two+ years I’ve been pretty consistent about getting a new story posted each Monday, an interactive chapter later in the week, and a couple vignettes tossed in each month.  That’s a lot of writing, and I’m finding with my new day job that keeping up with such a schedule is proving more difficult than I’d imagined.  

This was driven home for me lately because I’m not super thrilled with how the last interactive turned out.  I couldn’t tell as big or as deep a story as I wanted to because I always felt like I was chasing a deadline and just needed to get something out.  This is largely (entirely) a self-imposed thing since I’m the one who set that schedule, but I mean it when I say I don’t take your time or support for granted.  I love writing these stories and I love hearing that people enjoy them just as much, and I absolutely want everyone to feel like what they’re getting is worth it, regardless of the tier.  At the same time, though, I don’t want to sacrifice quality for quantity in that process, or burn myself out, and I feel like that’s a slope I’m a little too close to sipping down for comfort.   

All of which is to say that the interactives will come out on a bi-weekly schedule for the time being.  Writing a new chapter on the fly each week on top of prepping the other stories on top of settling into this new job is a lot, and I need to build in some wiggle room there.  I’m not planning on going anywhere (seriously, I have SO MANY IDEAS for stories I want to get out once I have some breathing room), I just need to slow down a bit.

If you have any questions or concerns, or things you want to see more of in stories, you can always drop me a message.  The last chapter of Climbing the Ladder will be forthcoming, followed by the full text, and then we'll start building the next one.  

As always, thank you for reading and for your support!
