I'm also going to get better about posting to my newsletter for, well, news rather than just flailing inconsistently on Patreon. Mini-Spaces will still happen but they'll be more like silly extras rather than a newsletter formatted thing!

always happy to mask! I am a cancer survivor and immunocompromised, the only way I can go to big cons is by pretty rigorously masking! it can definitely be demoralizing seeing how fast people dropped it 😔

oh I absolutelyyy understand. try to test out both for a week or two if you can and see what works—if daily writing works best while on contract, hell yeah. but if you're like me and write in chaotic bursts, figuring out that rate can help set realistic goals. happy to DM or talk further about it! 💜

the holiday season has been a lil messed up for word counts but I tryyy for 1000-3000 words a week. I don't write daily, and often write in bursts, so I give myself a variable amount to account for my chaos 😂
