Hi y''all!


    As we are gearing up for the end of Book 2 I want to share some news:


    After writing over 150 chapters for like 1.5 years, I finally managed to launch a Patreon</a>!! It currently has 6 advance chapters that amount to a little over 10k additional words.


    To anyone who wants to hear a bit of background info:


    So, as it stands, I am privileged to have access to enough means to survive. However, I am not financially independent. I am disabled and unable to work in a lot of common spots. Being financially dependent means that other people have control over my life and can execute decisions I have no influence on; this restricts where and with whom I am able to live, it restricts from where and for what I can receive support, it restricts where and how long I can travel, and it means they can impose requirements on me, for example short-term appointments. It also comes with regular paperwork which in turn makes me vulnerable to anxiety- & ADHD-related scatterbrain mistakes.


    Making a Patreon to alleviate some of that pressure has always been one of my goals; the more support I receive from other sources, the less power they have over me. I don''t expect to be able to reach it for now, but if, for example, I got to around 1k€ per month of support, I would be able to live largely financially independent (or, well, I''d rather be financially dependent on my supporters). That would mean a lot less stress and more resources to put into things I wanna do for y''all.

    The reason why I did not make a Patreon much earlier is because it comes with a lot of paperwork due to my current situation; i had to read up on tons of stuff and fill out a plethora of forms; and also, just asking people to give me money for my writing just stresses me out a little because writing is something I do because I want to, because I want to share certain things with my readers, not something I do for financial success. Alas. A little over a month ago, my application for disability benefits, which would come with much less coercion, was rejected because I had not spent enough time of my life working so far. There are alternatives to this type of benefit, but I don''t think I''m eligible (I will still try). By now, support from my writing appears to be the only long-term solution to fix parts of my dependency.


    So there we go! That''s why I''m opening a Patreon; and I will also look into officially publishing LNO over the next few months (hopefully without having to stub it, but I am aware of the current market-situation when it comes to KU, so I''ll have to see when I get there).


    All that said: Thanks to everyone who considers supporting me, it means a lot! My goal with any support I receive is always to write more, and more consistently.
