So, let's start with the good news. You know that for a while I've been a little cautious with Patreon due to lack of communication and a few odd things (probably some "AI" bot). Anyway, things became a lot clearer this week when they announced some fireside chat with some blah blah guy, but buried in the email was something about us 18+ creators and the issue of previews. Sure, they made it sound like this has always been a thing (it hasn't) but they finally gave rules we can follow-they want the Patreon feed to be family friendly. In the sense that if I'm a logged out person scrolling nothing stands out. Now, within the locked posts it seems like the old rules apply so I can get back to talking about the file, it's contents, etc. I just need a "buffer" at the top. I've been using ......... but that doesn't really entice people, especially if the title and thumbnail have to be family friendly as well. So, you'll see me trying to get creative (and feedback would be appreciated) but for now you're seeing this years files so far changed to "Patreon/public audio for insert month" as title, and a bunch of .......'s.
I feel far more confident going forward that I can explain the files in more adult terms and maybe even give the files a more enticing name again. Plus, this means exclusive audio's on the shop, stories on the shop are also back on the menu!
That's right, I'm back to writing shorts that will be through here and Smashwords only and novels through Amazon, with hopefully an audio book version done by yours truly. Stay tuned for more on that very soon...
Otherwise we had a heat wave and the central air was never turned on, and now we seem to be headed for a weekend of freezing temperature/snow??? So yeah. How are you all? What are you up to/listening to?
Be back Monday for a file that's really going to make you love/hate me and take care!
