reminder when you're doing your taxes, the number patreon is putting on your 1099 is the gross and they DO NOT exclude all the money they took from you in fees. you need to deduct that yourself as business expenses. an easy ("easy") way to do that is to download your earnings by month
Everybody works different, but at least so far for me it's been INTENSE PERIOD OF INSPIRATION followed by about 4-5x that length of refining, editing, etc while buckling down into the work
This was the first year and a half of working on TJ and Amal and the first 8 months-year of working on Shot and Chaser. I think I've finally learned to roll with it. Freelancing instead of having an 8-5 job helps.

In the meantime, we're still socializing them (LBF is getting increasinglly fond of the daily grooms he's going to need) but the rescue-to-adoption treadmill is stalled while they're here
