End(ish) of month update (Patreon)

Hello everyone

It's been a few weeks now since my last post and announcement.

The decisions I made weren't easy for me and I find it difficult to write this statement as well. I felt pretty numb for a while, almost like I was sick. Knowing the source was mental, it was interesting to see the physical reaction. Body and mind are one thing after all.

Something I realized was that the issues stemmed near entirely from the expectations I felt and the interactions I've had with you all. And I found some core issues within myself and my past that caused the strong response and anxiety that I felt in the past months. Other things I'm still working out.

The good thing is that announcing the break, the removal of advance chapters from patreon rewards, and the removal of a schedule helped alleviate a huge chunk of my anxiety. It of course came with other things but it was the only way I could move forward in any feasible manner. I wouldn't say that I'm as well as I could be, but I'm better. And I hope I continue to get better.

I value this community. I value all the comments, all the interaction, the discussions on here, on Royalroad, on discord, and the messages I get. And I apologize that I had to take that away in some sense. Thank you for the overwhelming support, the nice messages, tons of comments, and for the patience. I really do appreciate it.

I don't want to talk about writing and my plans as that goes against the idea of removing my schedule, and the anxiety of managing expectations. For now, all that I will say is that the end of the month is coming up and that I will implement the patreon tier changes as previously announced. If you wish to cancel your subscription, please do so before the first of March.

- 2$ tier Azarinth Healer - This tier will be unpublished. Meaning that those of you who are subscribed on that tier remain in that tier (until you cancel) but new people won't be able to see or subscribe to this tier.

- 5$ tier Ash Wielder (All chapters tier) - I will remove the all chapters tier description and all the mentions of rewards. Chapters ahead will remain the same until the start of March, when I will start to catch up Royalroad. The tier will only include the first line "Thanks for supporting my writing :)." Somehow seeing that smiley face made me laugh. With the context in mind. So yeah, know that if you remain in that tier, it is purely for supporting me as a being that eats and sleeps.

- 10$ tier - Might reword it to only include access to side stories and not new ones. Mainly a support tier as well. I might consider options to move side story content to the 5$ tier in the future.

Note that I have taken your suggestions into consideration. These changes are not a business decision but one based on mental health issues. I will keep you updated as I see fit.

Until then, thank you again, for the insane support and the lovely words.
