Unlaunching Patreon
Hey everyone! I am so sorry that this month's payout went through. I YET AGAIN forgot to pause it even though I was sure I did on July 1st. I am going to unlaunch patreon. Honestly it is a source of stress for me, especially given that my personal life has vastly interfered with my ability to write. I am still working on Speak. Me unlaunching my creator page doesn't mean that's not happening. Also, as always, please message me if you ...
Speak Chapter 22.25 pre-release
Hahahahaha I finally have had time to write! Here's the start of the draft for 22.25, a bit of a shenanigans filled chapter that will be leading up to me getting all serious in Speak again.

Speak Chapter 22 Final Draft phase
HAHAHAHA GUESS WHO FORGOT TO START GETTING THE DRAFT UP. ME! Sorry it has been a hell of a year, and it's still going. That said, I'm planning on keeping Patreon off billing, so here you all go for those of you who stuck around like HEART LET US THROW MONEY AT YOU and I keep saying no becuase you all need it more than me. Anyways, I brought pain!
Argh shoot darn heck
Hey all,So, since I am an amazingly well organized person in real life, I ended up forgetting to pause November's billing cycle. In theory, I SHOULD have been able to refund everyone's stuff, but Patreon decided to pull the payments for the patreons I back instead, meaning it wouldn't let me give everything back. Which would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that it also won't let me somehow add funds to complete this proces...
State of the Author + the tax thing
Hey Everyone! I am very, very, very slowly trying to figure out what I am doing with chapter 22 right now, as work has more or less eaten my *life*. With Oregon starting to do a slow reopening in the pandemic, I've been pulling about 4-8 hours of overtime a week since we started because we're super busy. Turns out people don't do well in lockdown or isolation. This has meant that Speak has kinda languished a bit, and I apologize for t...
Speak Chapter 21 - Satori in e minor Final Draft
IT IS DONE! FINALLY! AHHHHH!
May update and Patreon Pause
Hey all! I got about 3 messages from folks going 'uh, why didn't I get a patreon receipt from you?' And the reason is we've got kind of a lot going on in the world right now, and honestly, I want you to use that money for things that **you all** need. So for the next few months, you may be getting your paetron stuff for free! Lucky you! I'm stilling planning on trying to do updates and occasional notes on worldbuilding, etc, e...

1 year of Patreon, Changes, and a Huge Thank You!
Oh my gosh, it has been a year since I started patreon! Honestly, I wasn't sure I would be able to keep it up for a year, and a part of me still feels weird about it, but I am so glad that I am still writing things that people enjoy.I wanted to give a big thank you to everyone who has supported me over the past year. It's been a long journey through this year, and while I did not produce as much as I'd like, I am hoping to do better n...

Chapters 3-4 write ups.
Further notes on the chapters, and various things I've included in the story itself!
Chapter commentaries for chapters 1-2
I was asked recently by a group of readers that do a Fimfiction book club to write a few notes about the early chapters of speak. Well, apparently a few notes turned into a little over three pages, and I decided that these made really good little rewards for patrons, not just talking points for the people who were running the book club. So if you want some DEEP LORE of Speak, here you go!
Almost 1 Year of Patreon, and some updates!
Hey all, I want to thank you all for your support throughout this year! I didn't think that I'd ever be here, and I'm surprised I actually stuck it out throughout a year. So far, Patreon has let me do things like help out friends (and in some cases, fans in need!) when they were in financial need, helped get a member of the Russian Translation Team to Russia's bronycon, as well as it let me sponsor a pair of bats through Bat Conse...
Chapter 19.X Pre-release
Yep! Here it is! A... inside joke that probably went too far! But hopefully you find it as funny as I did!
Brief updates for September!
Hey all! I just finished up a... we'll call it a bonus chapter for now for Speak. I say that because it's an actual chapter, and a bit of insanity that came to my roommate, Bubblegum (who inspires the character in Speak), and I came up with at 4am one morning. I just sent that over to RoMS and Bro, and I'd like to have that out by the end of September.Another update is that I was asked to be interviewed by the Royal Canterlot Library!...
Speak Chapter 19 Pre-release
Chapter 19 is complete, and will be posted on Friday, August 23rd. But as always, my lovelies, here is the completed chapter early! Enjoy!
June Updates!
Hey all, I am presently working on chapter 19 of Speak, working with the Russian Translation team on re-translating chapter 1 (and editing it in the process because Sweet Baby Luna on the Moon even after RoMS' help, chapter 1 needed some... polish. With... coarse grit sandpaper.) I am *hoping* to have 19 out by either the end of the month, or at the very least before Bronycon. That said, I will be attending Bcon this year! I know, it's th...
We Were Bunnies!
Ever feel like something in your life was missing? Maybe that you were holding on to someone else's hopes and dreams? Fluttershy wonders why that might be.

Speak Chapter 18 final draft
Hey all! We finally finished up with chapter 18! I'm super excited about it! Hopefully you all are, too! As always, this'll be exclusive on patreon for a few days before I finally post it. Enjoy!
Chapter 18 of Speak!
Hey everyone! Chapter 18 is with the editors. I realised that I was stressing myself out trying to cram everything into one massive chapter, and the more that I was looking at it, the more stressed out I got. Which, in turn, made me struggle with my writing. So... I'm trying a new approach: ending things where it seems to fit. This may mean shorter chapters, but I am hoping that it means I can get them out faster. If Synchronicity has been an...
