Time to level and put cards on the table y’all

Let me level with y’all. I am burned out, like ready to throw in the towel after this years obligations are met burned out. I really need a space that isn’t my living room to work out of and to hire someone to help with everything. So I’m throwing out my Patreon again, in the hopes I can hit some of the higher goals and pay for a co-work space & pay a part time admin to handle stuff especially while I’m traveling a bit each month.

Between Patreon, side gigs, streaming and the occasional consult; I’m able to pay the bills and have a little (emphasis on little) left over. But this isn’t sustainable, end of. I can’t keep up, emails keep dropping and deadlines have been blown. It’s not just time management it’s straight up the need for another person (or persons) to help manage it all. Shout out to @wingedlioness for being a rockstar and helping with @INeedDivGms but she’s doing this while still seeking a regular gig again.

So, this is a plea. If you like what I do and hopefully want me to keep doing it? Please consider dropping a buck a month into the Patreon jar. Even if a 1/3rd of my followers did that, I could get some relief. Support on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://patreon.com/cypheroftyr

Don’t want to commit? That’s cool too. You can buy me a cup of coffee here and that goes into what’s needed at the time. Or savings if things are not dire. https://ko-fi.com/cypheroftyr

You can also hire me for sensitivity reads and diversity consults, games writing and writing about games. Drop me a note at my contact form: https://goo.gl/forms/o7gP08qYKkMlyhWZ2

Thanks to everyone who supports, retweets and shares. This isn’t a guilt trip, it’s me be up front and leveling with y’all. The tank is pretty dry right now and I’m just fried. If things tank, then I’ll figure it out, I hope. Thanks for reading, sharing, etc ❤
