A NEW SYSTEM IN THE WAKE OF NEW DEMANDS
To those who don't know, me and my family are being forced to move. I didn't know until last week, when the news was sprung on us that the property owner would be selling the house we've lived in for over 10 years when the lease ends in June.
As we're scrambling to figure out a place to land, two things outside of the enormity of the physical and technical effort needed to move are inevitables:
Higher Cost of Living
Higher Rent
Across the board, these two truths will follow us wherever we decide to move to.
Of course, as a freelancer, my income may strain or even have to be supplemented by a second, retail job again. But, having worked retail for 4 years and prizing my own independence and service to people interested in my stories or commissioning me, I would like to avoid that at all hazards.
Freelancing comes with it a level unpredictability, but it also offers the ability to scale, modify approach, and adapt to situation-specific demands.
So, at the current moment, the situation is demanding that all burners be on, the gas to be floored, all stops to be pulled.
To achieve, this, I'm pushing three fronts as described in the chart:
Pushing the Print Shop that you can find on INPRNT!
Pushing the Patreon as the primary exclusive and early access platform
Catching up on the backlog and returning to regular commission queues.
I will try my very best not only to maintain this "Fight On Three Fronts" System, but to keep y'all updated on the moving situation.
Thank you for attention, folks. In solidarity,
