Another month working in the dark

Great news! I've been super productive in this month off. I'm coming close to finishing a first draft of TFB. I think by the end of January, I can have the draft done, and be most of the way through the first draft of Stenton. Then, when that's done, I am going to pivot into finishing Nurserton. I should have plenty of posts for those two stories to last the Patreon a while.
This process has been very helpful for me in two respects. First, the lack of pressure has reduced my output considerably, but I think a breather helped me refresh and untie some of the character hangups and plot-knots I was stuck on. Second, this time off and lack of pressure has allowed me to pour my energy into one story at a time. This allows me to...pardon the pun...soak in the characters and stories a little more. I think this will make for a more coherent product. I'm not quite ready to propose a new plan structure, but I do think that focusing on one story at a time might make things a lot easier for me.
Likely plan for February
After February, I'm going to re-open the patreon with new posts and new plans. Less posts, less costs. However, at the beginning I will over-post to make up for some of the long time. I want to reward you all for sticking with me all this time.
You all mean so much to me. Please give me feedback and ask questions if you have any. I wish there was a way I could more easily show my appreciation to all of you, but I've figured that delivering the best chapters I can to you all is the best form of gratitude I can offer.
