August didn’t go as well as I had hoped. However, I did at least figure out what the problem (mostly) was. My body had adapted too well to the current level of ADHD meds and I have started a higher dosage. It’s helping, but it’s obvious I still haven’t figured everything out.
Consequently, I didn’t manage to get as much done as I’d hoped.
That being said, let’s keep this brief, as I’m feeling better and want to get back to writing.
What I got done in August
I managed to get three Patreon bonus shorts up in the form of a new, three-part Haven epilogue called Haven - We Who Persist.
I got a frankly STUNNING drawing of Sadie from Our Own Way nude done! You can see it for free here!
And that’s August. Unfortunately, Primal Love did not come out. I’m glad to say there wasn’t a catastrophe, but man I was really hoping to get it done. It will be soon. It’s written, and over halfway edited. It’s the first thing I’m going to wrap up this month.
Let’s talk about September.
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 10 will begin early access soon. Within the next week, ideally. I really let the last episode get away from me and it’s obvious I’m beginning to have issues with the series. There will probably be another Meanwhile this month. I intend for there to be six total.
THE WOMAN WITH GLOWING EYES will be released to Amazon. It’s going to be a 99 cent story and not in the KU. The reason for this is because I want to be able to keep it up on my Patreon. I got a simple cover drawn for it that I think works pretty well.
PRIMAL LOVE will go up for pre-order very soon. Within the next few days. It’ll be a 10-day pre-order.
AFTER DARK will get at least two more shorts this month. I’m going to write one for Chloe, and then the first one for Lakeside Cougars, which will feature Vetra.
HAVEN - WE WHO PERSIST might get published to Amazon this month. If not this month, then next. Like The Woman With Glowing Eyes, it will be 99 cents and not in the KU, as I want to keep it as a reward on my Patreon. But everyone will have access to it for less than a buck.
BIG GIVEAWAY. It’s been too long since I’ve had a big giveaway/sale, so I’m going to have one starting very soon. Pretty much all of my erotic individual titles will be free, with the collections being 99 cents. Several of my harem titles are also going to be free, with some being heavily discounted, including some collections. I’ll make a special post about it.
That’s all I want to commit to for September, but I need to discuss something with my Patreon readers.
Getting on ADHD medication has changed things for me, and one of the things that’s changed is my realization that I need to whittle down the amount of writing projects I have ongoing. In this spirit, I’ve been forced to conclude that I’m going to have to just cut my 10$/Month Tier. It probably sounds ridiculous, needing to cut a single short story per month, but it’s become obvious to me that my brain gets…cluttered. And apparently I navigate that clutter with all the dexterity of a drunk trying to make their way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I get caught up on things, mentally, too easily. I need a cleaner pipeline for my projects.
I’m not going to be able to achieve this completely in 2025, because I have Down the Rabbit Hole to contend with. As a consequence of this, and of wanting to see how Primal Love is going to turn out, I’m going to use September to (God fucking willing) finally catch up. It’s insane, but in a way, I’m still playing catchup from decisions I made in 2023. Ultimately, what I’m hoping will happen is that having fewer projects on my plate will mean that I can release single novels more expediently and regularly.
There’s likely to be more changes as the dust settles across the rest of the year. Sorry if this is annoying, it’s definitely annoying for me, too.
