January Blog: Technically It's Still January · 8:23pm January 30th
So, I mentioned having a bad December?
January was worse.
I'm going to be brief, because I have a lot of catching up to do, but I have some news.
One: The planned Moonstrider trilogy has been definitively cancelled. The World Shall Rise From Ashes has also been unpublished. Some of you may be aware of what's been going on there, in the broad strokes, but to put it simply: For the sake of my health, there will be no revivals or further contact with the person who originally commissioned the work.
Two: In addition to commissions, I am also opening myself up to editing services. The rules and rates for it are now listed alongside my commission rules.
Three: My Patreon had its tiers overhauled, with some new rewards, including commission discounts. Come check it out if that interests you.
And now, onto the stats!
