So I just passed the six month anniversary of that dumb fall that somehow managed to trigger all sorts of hellish things and wreck all my productivity. I may have kept Precocious updating daily, but just about everything else fell WAY behind. (Not just work, but all life stuff. I rarely leave my house for anything but doctor appointments, because it's so easy for me to trigger a bad spell.) In December, things began quieting down, but these good windows still don't long, and the flare-ups that follow reduce me to useless mush all over again. Working like crazy when the pain drops below my functional threshold, I've very slowly chipped away at owed work. (No one has been forgotten!) As I write this, I'm within sight of the finish line for the Kickstarter/Badge work that should have been finished by October. (Once again, I'm so sorry, everyone!) Every time I show optimism, though, something horrible happens to me the next day, so please factor that into your hopes! (I'm on day 9 of the latest flare-up currently, though I've still been able to get a little work in.)

On the medical side, there is a procedure that could potentially do wonders for me - so of course insurance fought me hard over it. I *may* have cleared the last (pointless) hurdle, but I've started on a NEW insurance plan this week, and they might have new tricks to destroy me. Even if all goes well, it usually takes two months before I find out anything. Until I get sustained good health, I (obviously) can't open up for any new commission work.

I'm all-in with Precocious for my income, so if you'd like to help please buy some Precocious books or merchandise or my art cards and help me chip away at ever-growing medical bills. (I have some recently-made art cards to add, so nudge me if you want one of those.) There may also be a "keep Chrispy alive, so he can continue doing that thing he does" patron program coming.

I'm still hopeful to be able to debut Precocious book 4 at Anthrocon this year, and the special Precocious companion book may soon follow. (Debut at SPX?) My other con this year will be Fur The More, since it's 10 minutes from my brother's house now, and always fun to table at.

I really have no idea how the next few months will play out, but I'll fight like hell to do as much awesome stuff as I can!
