Announcement -- July 17, 2022

I wish I had more positive announcements. 

Hello all. A brief announcement concerning my home life and future stories. 

During the past two weeks, two close members of my family experienced troublesome medical issues that led to a number of hospital visits and health complications. While both are fine in the short term, consultations and treatments have revealed troubling conditions that will significantly affect their lives in ways that have already demanded a greater chunk of my time and energy over the past fourteen days. 

It's not been pleasant. 

My domestic responsibilities have increased, necessitating I take on additional duties at home to make up for a family member that has been affected. I have very little uninterrupted time alone as managing correspondence between doctors and extended family members takes up much of my available free time. This all comes at a time when my professional life is more hectic than ever, aggravated by poor staffing situations and my own general fatigue.

It sucks.

That said, my hope isn't necessarily to garner sympathy or to make my situation a burden on anyone. I've always been intentionally vague about my life situation for that reason—fear of burdening anyone—and I only bring it up here to add some context for future stories that may be affected. 

To be clear, my goal—my dream—of being a strong writer and author remains the same.

I've no intentions of quitting. 

This isn't a "goodbye" announcement, nor do I plan to take any sabbaticals; at least not immediately.

But family comes first. And, in the coming weeks—or even months, according to the medical professionals—I'll need to continue making time to make my family my priority. 

This means I'll be writing when I can fit the time in. It means stories might run a little shorter, too. I intended on returning to captions and quickies and that intention might be suitable for such a time as this. I'm even making plans to write at different times and locations, trying to find pockets of free, open space to make things work. I'm also recruiting friends to try to help me edit. 

I'm making plans to adjust to things.

Despite the precautions I hope to take, however, you may still see a dip in the quality of the uploads, and depending on the urgency of my family situation I may request more time off from you all.

I'm sorry in advance for any inconvenience this causes.

Despite all of this, I'm still hopeful that the greater portion of the medical difficulties are behind my family and that I might find space for creativity in a fragile, emergent sense of "normal". And when life slows down again, I will return my fullest focus to making fun, sexy experiences to share with everyone. Such an experience is one I treasure because it has gotten me through rough times, including other medical scares throughout the years.

So let's eagerly and patiently wait to see how things unfold. I hope you all can bear with me as I flounder through this bizarrely difficult time. 

An abbreviated chapter of "Proud Peaks" will be released tomorrow. Not the most inspiring literature I've ever written, but it's what I had ready when things started going down. After that, we'll take things day by day as far as uploaded content.

I'll update if circumstances change significantly. 

And if you have any suggestions, preferences, or concerns, about uploads or stories or me as a creative, feel free to comment or message me directly. I'll be checking back when I have the time.

Thank you all, and see you tomorrow.
