Moment of terrible honesty

I have had a (very) significant life change.
Now back from my trip, it’s very apparent to me that I can no longer maintain my Patreon here to the level I was doing before. While I wish I could, this just isn’t going to be realistic… and I really don’t want to disappoint people by trying, and ultimately, failing. Also, highly likely in this scenario that my work would be suffering a lot… and then I’d wonder what would be the point!
So, better to go with what I think I can do, and is realistic. First off, this will mean changes to what I’m uploading per week. This may not work for some. If not, this is my message to give you as much of a heads up as I can so you can make whatever decision you feel you need to.
What is pretty apparent to me is that daily uploads, as well as the regular weekly Friday comic, are going to be off the table. It’s going to be about me doing what I can do; I can’t promise any more than that. I will do my best to honour any previous commitments or promises made, but again please bear with me.
I will still have my Deviant art presence (though again, probably not quite as much as before) as well as doing commission, as I’m able. It is possible that in the future I may end up shifting everything I do just to my Deviant Art space, to make things more manageable.
If people wish to keep supporting me here as I do what I can do, then as always I will say thankyou and I greatly appreciate it. If not, then that is completely okay; I understand and wish you the very best with everything.

Yeah, I know. The 'Happy Friday' in particular has been a lot of work to keep up. I liked doing it and the idea of doing it... but if I try to keep that one up with everything else I'll probably die

Oh my... 🙁 In a sense I can understand that the daily posts were involving too much work, that's obvious, but the Happy Friday, I'll miss them so much 😭 Sorry, I'm being selfish, I understand that they imply a lot of work as well 😬 You need to take care of yourself, I hope you're ok

You are totally correct, and I appreciate the wisdom. Thankyou

My two cents - you are suffering with burnout, you are over working yourself and are worried you are failing your fans this is false you are not failing us you should do this for fun and in turn profit from your hard work. Do what you can and don't feel bad for having a week off we will still support you, heck i have slowed down and I still have loyal fans on my patreon. Stop beating yourself up and have fun with what you do. has anyone complained? has anyone insulted you? if not then you are letting your paranoia cloud your judgement.
