June Update Post! - Audios & Calendar / Commissions / Scheduling & Mental Health!

Hey everyone, it's that time again! Pull up a chair by the fire and lets talk about what's going on this month!

First up?

Audios & Calendar

So, you will see from the New Calendar that there's a couple of extra audios added in for things like collabs that I'm a part of!

There are more that don't yet have firm dates set so I will add those, as and when they become apparent. But to give you a heads up on what to expect - there's a fun M4F CLUEDO collab project audio I was invited to join as well as a MM4M hot and sweaty collaboration audio with the amazing Naughtybertie that I can't wait for you to hear!

You'll also see a Reddit post on the 28th - This is part of the big GWAG collaboration: Pride Was a RIOT - which I am so honoured to be a part of and I will be filling a script by the amazing Amary (ramennoodles).

My work outside of audios really picks up in the summer and I'm not in a financial position to turn it down, so a couple more of my mainline patreon/subscribestar audios will be script commissions from some of the incredible writers in this community, and the editing will be outsourced to some of the amazing editors I have been working with over the last few months!

There may be other bits of audio that I add to the schedule in the coming weeks which will be time dependent but I'll give you a heads up if that's the case!

Commissions

Nice simple update for commissions! I will be opening SPECIALISED COMMISSIONS within the next couple of weeks. You may have noticed me posting about Praise/Degradation? Well I will be opening commissions following that theme! Ever wanted a personalised audio from me giving you praise, degrading you, or maybe even both? Well this will be your chance!

More info to come soon but I've been working with a fantastic artist on some materials for it and I can't wait for you to see it!

Scheduling & Mental Health

As I've mentioned already, this part of the year is looking to be super SUPER busy for me. To draw back the curtain, I am not in a position financially to make audio work my full time job. I wish I was! It is a very time consuming process with a lot of administration. I am a freelance creative outside of this so a lot of my work is contract to contract. What that means is that sometimes I will be VERY busy and sometimes less so. Its a lot of burning the candle at multiple ends and there's nothing really that can give in that situation! As a VA you want to make sure you're providing content for your subscribers and listeners so they feel their time/money is not wasted, but I still have to work. To this end, I would just like to let you know that I am always doing my utmost to get audios out in a timely manner but sometimes I DO fall a bit behind. This is inevitable to some extent but I think you'll agree that since defining my calendar back in January, content has been pretty consistent.

I'm making a promise to be a bit kinder to myself when I'm falling behind.

Wrap Up

Thank you everyone for reading and for joining me on this journey. I have hit some pretty cool milestones this year already. From my count I have released more audios by June of this year, than I did in ALL of 2024 and have matched 2023. So we are on track for a very productive year! That on top of my fitness journey stuff and generally taking control of my health... it's been a crazy year so far already. Thank you for being here with me for it. I really hope you're enjoying the content. I will have a further post to come soon with some feedback form related stuff. I would love to get your thoughts on what I produce and what you'd like to see going forwards. I think thats everything for now. I hope you have an amazing weekend and I will see you soon!

All the Love
