As the new year began, I realized that I needed to make some changes. In my desire to build my work as a writer, I had started raising support through Patreon, built my own website, and tried to upkeep this blog, while still trying to actually write and advance the different projects I had in the works. It was too much.
The first decision I made was to close down my Patreon account. Instead, I am accepting monthly support on my website, which lets me focus on maintaining my website without also having to maintain a Patron newsfeed. If you are interested in learning more about what that looks like, you can check it out here: leanewinger.com/support
You also may have noticed that I haven't been posting as frequently here on my blog. Since my website also has a blog, I will primarily be focusing on sharing my writing through that platform. I invite you to check it out, and subscribe to my website newsletter if you don't want to miss out on what I've been sharing there. I will still be posting occasionally on this blog, but it will primarily be things of a more personal nature (pictures, family updates) and topics that are not related to my writing (arts and crafts, other things I'm up to).
Thanks for your understanding, and I hope to see you again soon, here and on my website!
