Okay, it's been over a month since I posted last so I figure I should post something.

First, we won an important victory for Net Neutrality in the senate! This is a big deal. But we still have to win the house. Once again, battleforthenet.com can help you contact your representative. Remember, representatives are not like senators. Your state is divided into a number of congressional districts, and each district has a rep. You need to find out which rep represents your district. You can find that information here.

Now, onto the actual Sarkopheros news. As you probably noticed, I have not created content in a while. This is, in large part, why I changed my Patreon to per-story as opposed to per-month. I had a feeling this would happen. I have come to realize that I'm really bad at predicting when I'll get shit done because my schedule is quite sporadic.

What's going on right now is that I'm trying to start my own business. I won't say more than that, because I don't want my business associated with my smut.

I'm going to be very candid here and confess something.

First, let me say that the following is not an indictment. It is not a passive-aggressive swipe at the fans. The fans are a large part of why I do this. So DO NOT feel guilty. Do not feel like this is somehow directed at you. I only mean the following as a summary of events that transpired.

I had this crazy idea that I might be able to make some money creating smut. Yes, I love creating smut, and I'd do it even if money wasn't involved. But the thing is, I figured with the existence of things like Patreon, maybe I'd make enough to justify doing this more often. A side hustle, as the whippersnappers say. But it never happened. I don't know why. Probably my stuff being really niche. But the fact is, I only have 3 patrons at the time of writing. My real job is very slow. I need to make more money, but I don't want to be stuck with a normal job. It's become clear that I need to once again look at my priorities. Get shit sorted. So I'm putting a lot of time and effort into creating a business.

Unfortunately, this does mean that smut goes on the back burner again. I don't plan to bring things to a complete halt, but until I start generating revenue and the new business stabilizes, I just can't spend as much time as I used to on this stuff. It will be slow.

I don't know if this will work. But I have to try. I'm making efforts I've never made before, so I'm hoping for results I've never had before. Wish me luck. I'm gonna need it.
