February Personal Update (Patreon)

Hello everyone, just wanted to take a minute to let you know how everything is going on my end. I know I was a bit quiet this month but that's because I've been hard at work. I set a new writing schedule for myself that's been helping me be more productive in the mornings, and I've got rough drafts done for several chapters. I'm building up a buffer of stories finally, and I'm only 800 words away from hitting my monthly goal of 30,000 words. If I can manage to hit that consistently each month it would be huge for getting content out to all of you.

I'm happy to say that there will be a new chapter of Donna's Trance Trigger coming out in March. Since the series is more focused on character interactions I wanted to get several chapters ahead, so that I don't hit any narrative dead ends and have to backtrack. So far the characters are coming along pretty well and I hope it'll be a fun ride to see Billy, Diana and others explore and indulge in their favorite kink, with a bit of retro cartoon mystery sprinkled in too.

While I'm doing great on the writing front, I took a bit of a hit financially this month when I had to spend $700 to get my car running again, so it looks like I need to get a part time job soon. To help me afford my rent and bills I'm considering raising my prices for the first time from $5 a month to $6. I'm hoping a one dollar increase won't break anyone's budget, but it would give me almost $200+ every month and mean that my rent was covered by patreon royalties alone. The change will be officially announced next month and happen in April, with new tiers created that everyone can switch over to. I'm absolutely open to hearing feedback on this if you want to comment your thoughts on this post. I've run this patreon for seven years now (Forgot to celebrate the anniversary at the start of Feb) and haven't raised my prices the whole time. So I think asking for an extra dollar each month is a fair request, and will help me keep writing quality smut and romance for all of you.

I'm also hoping to increase my story output from two stories a month back up to three, depending on if we can hit a new goal to help me be self sufficient. I think it'll probably be somewhere between 1,600 and 1,800 a month, but I'll have to decide later on what seems realistic after the change. I'm hoping all of you will continue to stick by and support me, and I'm excited to keep bringing you quality stories for many years to come!

Hope you're all doing well and that March will be a good month for all of us!
