Two years...
For two years I have been a part of this wonderful site, and in the process have grown as a writer. It has given me new insight as to how creative I could be, and not a day goes by where I don't think of new adventures for our favorite mares and stallions to go on and new realms to explore.
But life, as always, is a double-edged sword...
I know a lot of writers on here use their writings as their primary source of income, not just as an occasional hobby, but I am in the rare percentage where the opposite is true. I have a full time job, working 46 hours a week from Monday-Saturday, and between work and having things to do around the house my writing time is severely limited.
Damaged, Penalt, and Kris Overstreet (who are three of the biggest names I follow, and two of which are really good friends of mine who I communicate with multiple times a week) have update schedules that I would like to get to at somepoint by publishing multiple chapters a month.
I recently picked up three Patreons (
) and seeing as how I charge by month instead of word count, I feel as if I let them down when I don't hit my deadline that I have in mind. In short, it is a terrible feeling and it sucks, but there is no other alternative. I do my best in the time I have, but even then it feels as if I don't push hard enough.
In other news, Merry Christmas 2018
