SHOP UPDATE // + No Rewards for Dec

Added 2020-12-05 00:04:19 +0000 UTC

Hello and Happy December! I hope you have all been doing well. I have a couple of important updates to share with you all.

NO REWARDS FOR DEC + WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON

The first thing I'm going to mention is that there will be no rewards for December ):

I messaged everyone earlier in November that I have been dealing with health issues that have been preventing me from finishing the December rewards. To go more in depth, I have chronic tension headaches and eye strain which when it flares up, prevents me from staring at any screen for 2-3 weeks. It doesn't happen often since I've learned how to prevent it but a bad care of it can cause a huge delay in my work and a lot of stress. Combined with my depression and burnout, I've been needing a lot more breaks from my work and Patreon compared to the beginning of the year. Which sucks a lot! I'm not happy with how my work flow has been and how I've been needing to take breaks from my Patreon workload.

I've had some people suggest that I should set up my Patreon reward schedule where there will be a break period every other month. That way I can have extra time to work on everyone's rewards and not feel burnt out so often. I'm still not very sure what the best course of action is since these flare ups can very bad for a whole month and then I'll be completely fine for five months afterwards. It's so unpredictable! Though I might end up doing that for now since I've been so tired but we'll see!

Maybe I'm oversharing a little bit but I feel like being transparent will at least give you all an idea of what's been going on with me and my work. I have been doing better this past week and my headaches aren't as bad as they were, but I still need to be careful with how much time I spend working to prevent a bad flare-up like that from happening again.

If you signed up during November or December when there weren't any rewards for that month and I forgot to refund you, please please please message me! I've been a little bit all over the place so if you have any questions never hesitate to reach out.

HOLIDAY SHOP UPDATE - MONDAY DEC 7th 12:00PM PST
