Hey hey hey! Finally got this thing out on time.
I've really been able to catch up on my Patreon stories this last month. I got done with February's and March's stories and I hope to finish editing on April's story tomorrow. That means I'd just have to get done with May's and then also try to finish up June's as soon as possible!
I do know I have one person waiting on a commission from me BUT I'm getting surgery done next Monday which will give me four concurrent days off and I'm hoping that gives me a chance to split up the 12,000 words up into four days each. 3k words a day sounds... very out of my league especially given my recent progress on my writings but hey, if I'm even able to get half of it done, I'll be happy.
And no worries about the surgery. It's not all that dangerous and it'll help me with my eyesight. Just a little 20 minutes knocked out and I'll be alllllll good!
I still seem to have this weird anti-confidence towards my stories. I thought both times that Rewilding and the Skunk Patron stories wouldn't be that well-liked by people but on both stories I had people talking about how much they enjoyed them and I know I've learned the lesson of not shitting on yourself and respecting your craft/work but I think it's going to be a lifelong fight to recognize that while I may not be the best writer, I am still a writer!
I can't remember too much else going on in May. A very quick month. Wish I could've gone to FWA but I want to room with someone not to really save money BUT to do like a buddy system thing since I really dislike the idea of being at a convention alone. I find it difficult to know what to do by myself. Like a friend of mine went to Hawaii recently and just relaxed by themselves which really perplexed me because... I don't think I know how to do that? Or maybe I'm more or less alone these days and if I'm going to do a vacation, which is supposed to be this positive experience outside of your typical schedule, then I'd want to be someone since typically I'm not with someone haha.
Plus if I was at a convention with someone, then they could get me to do things. Last convention I went to I was so tired I stayed in bed a bit longer when everyone else was ready to go, meaning I had to find them later and that wasn't the best either. A part of me is wondering if it'd be better to just hangout with groups of friends over conventions because for the two conventions I've been to, it's really just going to the Dealer's Den, the meetups you're wanting to go to, and then hanging out in the hotel room doing games and shit. Which I love, don't get me wrong, but you can do that together in someone's house too. I know it's not all that at conventions, like with my very first one I went to a few raves, a few room parties, but that was because I was with people who I haven't talked to very much these days and so I'm not sure if I could ever have that kind of experience again?
Anyhow, rambling aside, I hope everyone's having a good time. Winter's well gone now and well, I think half of Spring had to deal with Winter's BS and so it'll be shorter overall. I mean just like two weeks ago it was getting back down into the 30s and that still shocks me even if it happened last year or however.
But yeah! Have a good one and stay safe out there!!! (-O:
