dracoqueen22 No adjective this time, just July, because boy is July going to be a hard month. Financially at least.
June was successful in many ways. I blew through the first draft of the original novella I plan on submitting, got at least one bit of feedback on it and am waiting for the second while I go through the editing round. Hopefully, I can get that polished up and submitted in time. *fingers crossed*
But I'm also having to close my Patreon. They are being selectively censoring of the content they allow. NSFW is fine, but certain fictional kinks are not, which they wouldn't even have noticed, if I hadn't warned my patrons like a good creator. My page was already marked 18+ only and all nsfw hidden behind a paywall, but they still have to think about the safety of the children who use their sight. *rolls eyes* Anyway, they wanted me to delete MOST of my content to continue to use their service, so fuck them and their censorship, I'm closing the whole thing.
I'm going to hate the loss of that income, but I can't censor myself just because Patreon and all those other companies are participating in this war. So I'm deleting my Patreon as of today.
It's also a hard month financially IRL. Losing a bonus from my IRL job through no fault of my own set me back, and it's been a hard struggle to keep my head above water. So July is a month of doing all the commissions I can, as well as selling toys, to try and boost my income as much as possible.
I've got six commissions left, so I'm definitely tackling as many of those during this month as I can. Started on one, plotting on another, plotting on a third. Maybe I can get half of them done and keep on trucking. I'm ready to start knuckling down and putting serious work into my original stories, but I gotta knock out these commissions first.
In free time, if I've got any, I'll probably be trying to work on either my Critical Role fic "Bloodlines" or finishing up Despicable Me as the last part of my Once Burned TFP series.
*fingers crossed*
As always, if you have any questions or curiosities, feel free to give me a poke!
