Things are finally slowing down
After I think my best month since I started writing, sales and reads are finally slowing down for the month. Not that I mind, I honestly expected as much and am happy that I got to experience this spike.
Now what is important, like last month is keeping this momentum for the next month. I really don't have any compilations I can release, and I am interested in seeing what will happen if I take a short month off.
The last time I didn't release anything in a month nothing too major happened with my sales or reads. However I can't be certain if that is going to be the case this time.
Though, like I said I may release something next month depending on if I have enough money and time for the cover or not. However I am not going to strain myself if it's just not in the cards for a June release.

So, I've started writing the next Novella
Even though I was supposed to take a break, I've already started planning and writing the next Novella. I have the first 1000 words done for the next Monster girl Carnival.
However I'm not sure if I am going to finish writing that or my new project first. Since the next Monster Girl Carnival may be about another insect, and I want to avoid doing two of those back to back.
Even them, unless I end up making more money than I expect next month, I probably won't release it until either really late June or July.
For those who are following me on Twitter, you probably already seen the designs I am planning on using for my new series. Like I said, I plan on using a smaller cast of characters this time around.
On an unrelated note, sorry for the lack of updates etc. I haven't been doing much of late other than some personal writing and I don't have much to talk about.

So I had a Surgery earlier today
Nothing too major, it's just hard to sit down and move. I should make a full recovery in the next two days. Right now I am not really writing anything major either.
I have a few plans for an upcoming series, but like I said I will probably release another Monster Girl Carnival in between and some other stuff.
I am still on the fence on taking a break or not. I really do love writing, but I also don't want to completely burn myself out.
Been doing some reading, and some practice writing as well. Believe it or not I used to and still write Fanfiction.
Though most of the things that I write aren't popular at all! That doesn't matter to me too much since I tend to write that for fun.
It is weird that my original stuff is far more popular than it, I guess I just lack something that makes people gravitate towards that sort of thing.
Regardless, I will keep you all updated on the next release window etc soon.

Those Who Love Monster Girls Finale is Finally out!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D6HDRHK
This has been a long time coming, and I am pretty happy with it, even though I know it's not perfect.
It was fun to write, and it was nice to come back to these characters one last time for some more interesting interactions.
With that said, I've been writing pretty non-stop since last month. Very few breaks, and depending on my mood I may not release anything next month.
I need to take some time and look at what series I want to write, why I want to write them and how.
To say I'm a bit worn out would be an understatement, but I truly want to thank everyone that has supported me up to this point and hopefully will continue to support me.

Character designs for upcoming novella series. Plans for other ongoing series.
Since Those Who Love Monster Girls Finale is finished. (It should be up on Amazon by Sunday at the latest) I am about to start a new series.
No worries, Monster Girl Carnival will still be going on, and I may do a few Ears and Tail required if I have time.
It will be in the same vein as Lord of Dusk, however the cast of the main female characters will be no longer than 4 (Compared to the mob of characters by the finale of Lord of Dusk) to allow each character to grow more.
The character designer for the characters is.
https://gaizeric.deviantart.com/
The designs are.

I wanted to have muscular women this time around to more contrast the thinner types found in Lord of Dusk.
The story may also be set in Canada...I honestly don't know yet since I wanted a location to contrast the sunny beaches of Lord of Dusk.
I haven't decided on a name yet, and barely even the first chapter has been written. So don't expect to see it for a few months. So you will probably be getting another Monster Girl Carnival series between then and now.

So, Steam took down most of their Visual Novels
Due to the recent bill that has passed to stop sex traffic, Steam took down most of their Visual Novels. Even though all of them that were on steam were most likely censored.
I mostly bring this up because less than a month ago a similar scare happened to amazon and Erotica writers losing their ranks and it honestly makes me paranoid.
It is very easy for larger companies to just cut you off and completely ruin your livelihood among other things. It's part of the reason why I am often tempted to think maybe starting a Patreon or a Ko-fi and writing my novellas as rewards might be a better choice.
Or at the very least writing content exclusive for Pateron while keeping an eye on Amazon, just in case it blows up.

Editing is finished with Those Who Love Monster Girls Finale
Sorry for the slow updates, most of the editing has been finished for Those Who Love Monster Girls Finale. Right now I am rereading it making sure to catch any odd errors that my grammar checking didn't catch.
Hopefully I will have it released sometime late tomorrow. However I am waiting on the cover art, so it may take a day or two extra than I expected.
At the very least it will be out by the end of this week.

Final Chapter has been Written For Those Who Love Monster Girls.
The Final chapter has been finished for the Those Who Love Monster Girls Finale. All that is left is finishing up a few of the sex scenes in a few of the other chapters and I can start the editing process.
I have to say, I am rather nervous about the finale. Since while it's longer than most of the other parts in the series. I wasn't able to fit everything in there. As a result I focused more on the core cast rather than the extended cast.
A part of me is horrified to think that I may disappoint a few people. Since the series originally wasn't going to have a conclusion, but I decided to write one because it's close to me.
Regardless there is no going back now. The only thing I can hope is that I can get my feelings across to you readers!

Those Who Love Monster Girls Finale is almost finished
The writing for the Those Who Love Monster Girls Finale is wrapping up. It will probably will be done around the 15th, meaning that the novella itself will be released around the 18th.
Once again it may change depending on what else comes up since my life has been a bit crazy the last couple of days.
However I am planning on getting done most of the writing tonight, and with any luck I just have to worry about editing after that.

So my Washer Just Exploded.
My washer went up and water went everywhere, luckily I was there when it happened and managed to turn off the valve not too much water got everywhere.
(It still took an hour to clean up)
However this does create a situation for me. As it means I will legit have no money for next month novella. It was already pretty shaky with how much I would have left over since all my bills are due next month, but this sealed its fate.
That doesn't mean I'm not going to start writing it, or even stop this month writing.
This month Novella is actually on schedule, it might be delayed a few days at most.
However, no doubt next months is going to be delayed, at least for awhile.
