Hello to all of my followers. I hope you are doing well despite these trying times.

Before I begin, I just want to start off by saying how grateful I am that you guys find so much joy with my work. Every time I see a new favorite, or a new comment, or a new follower, it warms my heart like nothing else. Seeing that people get such a kick out of those audios reminds me of why I made them in the first place. All of you are so amazing and I really can't thank you enough for your love and support.

Which is why it hurts me to make this journal bringing bad news; I'm afraid I must put the whole audio thing on hold. For now at least.

To keep things short and to give you some perspective, I work a full time job as a content creator, shooting photos and videos for a fairly large company. As such, most of my life is dedicated to that, leaving very little time to do anything for myself. The reason I was suddenly able to do these audio projects was primarily because of one thing; the COVID lockdown. Temporarily furloughed from my job, I had nothing to do. So, I made very good friends with  lightspeedvore10, and we partnered to make a vore audio on a total whim. And it ended up being a hit! And for that, I can't thank you guys enough.

Luckily after the lockdown ended, I was brought right back to my job and began picking up where I left off. It was fairly slow at first, but once more and more people started coming back out, it got busy real quickly. During that time, I was still able to work on my own personal projects on the side like the blumpkin one and the more recent Makucha audio for  cheshirecatmaster. But on top of that, I was doing several projects for  glock22. And on top of THAT, I've been trying to keep up with and message over twenty people on Discord. All at once. As you can probably guess where I'm going with this, I couldn't take it anymore. I hit a brick wall and got burnt out.

So, for several months now, I've been absent. I contacted several people to cancel any projects that I had lined up and basically pulled the plug on my online presence. Aside from still keeping in touch with friends on Discord, I was far too stressed to do anything else other than my job. And even then, I was still struggling to do that. Subsequently, I had to start "ghosting" everyone. Not because I didn't want to talk with them, but because I simply couldn't. I'm now so busy with my job that I literally don't have the mental capacity to give my "undivided" attention to several dozen people. Nobody can do that on top of a full time job and trying to work on personal projects. Not unless you completely give up on sleep and start sacrificing your physical and mental health.

All of this combined has now resulted in me feeling... indifferent. I don't have the same drive that I had when I first started making projects. Probably because I had nothing else to do. But now that I'm back in the game, I can't keep up with the demand. I have no motivation to work on anything audio related and even if I did, I just don't have the time. So sadly, I must drop the audio thing all together until such a time arrives when I can somehow pick it back up.

I do apologize to those of you who were looking forward to more projects. Believe me, I have been trying to avoid this for a long time. Nothing would make me happier than to keep filling in that "gap" of niche fetishes that could be given a bigger spotlight with audio. But I'm no longer in a good position to do so. I also want to apologize to those of you who have been trying to get in touch with me via Discord or Telegram to chat. If I ever get a few spare moments of free time, I will try to get back to you one by one. I would much rather talk to you guys individually and give you my complete undivided attention rather than chat with several at once and "half-ass" our conversations together. That's not fair to ANY of you. So I will eventually respond to you all, but I must ask for your patience. My Discord notifications are in the triple digits now and I can't possibly take care of that all in one day. It's gonna take some time.

To end things on a more positive note, I will say that I am not leaving outright. Even regarding the audio projects, it may not be a permanent cancellation. BUT, I've been wanting to dedicate my time to just one personal project. Something that would be much more substantial in scale or really stand out in the community. Some of you may already know that I was planning on doing a stop-motion project, though that now very much depends on finances and how our country will look in the coming years. I was also considering doing a small photography project; creating various sculptures of characters and photographing them on film to be put into a small zine that I would distribute. You know, something like that. Again, I'm just throwing around ideas right now. Neither of those things may happen, but that's what's currently swirling around in my head. I want to do something "BIG" or "noteworthy" like what  fattydragonite does with his short animated films. Filmmaking and animation have always been my two biggest passions and I would love to do something like that before there comes a time when I won't be able to. Be it my job situation, old age... or total economic collapse that plunges our country into ruins.

Hey, look what COVID did to us in just a few months. Who's to say it's all over now? Perhaps that was just the prelude...

Anyway, I had to get this out there at some point. It's been on my mind for quite a while, but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm still alive and well. It's just my situation that's changed. Once more, I am really sorry for dropping this on you all out of nowhere. I don't mean for it to sound all doom and gloom. It's more of an "update", albeit a very depressing one. Just know that I am still here and still hoping to give you guys good content. But for now, I am wanting that next project to be something different. The audio will have to be put on the shelf for now until I either figure out what I want to do, or the "engine" is brought back to life and I can bring myself to make another audio piece. It's all up in the air right now, so sky's the limit with me.

Thank you all for being such kind fans and wonderful people. I hope you will stick with me long enough to see whatever I come forth with in the future. Until then, I hope good times await you in the months ahead, and your chins remain as high as your members do. Stay beautiful!
