Status Update

Hello everyone!
Some of you said i should give a status update on my situation and the status of Patreon rewards. You are right, i owe you all this.
So here is the situation, i have fallen behind rewards due to me being very busy with some real life issues with my family, my health and legal paperworks for when i was preparing for my Visa. This has caused me to travel a lot lately and waste a lot of time waiting in lies due to bureaucracy and other issues.
I ended up with two months of queue lines being piled on my to do list. So back in August and September i started doing day long streams to work on the queue i had at that moment. But i ended up having two big issues then. First, i wasn't able to complete the whole queue and some people were still missing the rewards. The other one is that while i cleaned up the previous queues, i got new ones made for the months that just happened. I felt like i was back to square one and i still had stuff i didn't finish on time. I feel like i am being a failure to the point where i was actually afraid and ashamed of looking at the new messages.
Things kept getting complicated healthwise and due to my constant traveling to get my tax paperwork done in time for the Visa interview. I find myself now with time again since i don't have to travel over and over now. So i plan on cleaning the queue as much as i can again.
One of the problems from the previous attempt was that i didn't work in an equitative way with all the requests, so i ended up having some people with fewer pieces done. That was a mistake from my part and i deeply apologize.
The other big issue... is that i think i need a big change or revamp of my Patreon as a whole. I am constantly getting to a point where i feel i don't have time to work on my projects or the comic because i am afraid of the reward queue from Patreon. I know i have to do something, but i honestly have no clue as to what to do. For now i will continue with the current flow but i am thinking of making a big change for next year.
I will fill you in on the details whenever the time comes and i actually decide on a way to properly have everything done.
Again, i apologize for the delays, it is a failing on my part. I am trying my best.

Don't worry about it matey. Just take care and relax a little. We're patient people but more than that, we care about you and your health. If you need a break, you're more than welcome to have one! :)

I'd co-sign that suggestion too.

Thanks for the update Aven. Don't fret, these things happen. I honestly feel that most people will be more than understanding as long as explanation is provided and you did just that :) If I might suggest an idea for your patreon rework? Put out a questionnaire to your patrons, ask for their input on ideas and post your own (multiple if possible for both parties) and select the ones you feel might work best for both you and your supporters. Then either choose one yourself, or have a vote. I'll save any further suggestions I might have for that possible future post, or if you ask here :) Best of luck!
