November 2022 News (Patreon)

Hello lovely patrons!

Today's news is largely my personal life and how the schedule this month will be a bit affected by it!

First thing's first, I moved house. Moving is usually stressful, but this was a special case. Solicitors being non-communicative, followed by movers smashing my computer, plus problems with ordering furniture, plus me being a klutz and injuring myself moving massive boxes around meant it was all a very sleepless and rocky affair, despite how otherwise organized and prepared we tried to be. My crowning achievement was the movers telling us how organized we were with our packing. Didn't save my computer from a smashed screen though, as they pretty much heaved things into the truck like they were bin men tossing garbage. 8') 

While my computer is in repairs, I only have a laptop from which I can't stream or draw because it doesn't have the necessary programs. And I'm not about to shell out for the programs just to use them for four weeks. (Plus, don't think this laptop would run them very well anyway.) SO, that means most streams and patreon updates will be happening late in the month! I'll post dates for streams as soon as I have my computer back.

The other thing is I have my consultation for top surgery next week! Which is both exciting and stressful because surgery is surgery, even if it's one I've been waiting on for years.

Lastly, I planned on participating in Nanowrimo this month. I have a dilemma in which I need to update a book on Wattpad regularly, but the one I'm currently updating there has been a tough nut to crack, while another WIP suddenly decided to go whole hog on the inspiration front and I'm now buzzing to start writing it. I hoped I could get the tough nut cracked during Nano so I'd have a backlog of updates while working on the super-inspired book, but all the random stuff I've had to do each day moving-wise has meant I'm late to the pass. Day 3 and zero words! Not an auspicious start!! So we'll see!!! (if you can't tell by my exclamation marks, I'm a bit overwhelmed this month lol!)

I'm looking forward to my life settling down a little after the upheaval of the move. Luckily the organization meant that unpacking was a pretty swift and painless process. I will be in touch when I can nail down some stream dates and start back on comic work again!

Thanks so much for your patience and support! It is lovely that I can always count on my patrons to be understanding when I tell them real life has decided I cannot do art things for a bit.
