The Countdown Is On

Less than 2 weeks from today, I will no longer be checking on my Twitter account as of Friday, September 15. I debated deleting it completely, but people have requested I leave it up because they felt it was informative. Whether that’s true or not, that’s not for me to say. If some find it helpful, that’s one thing, but I can’t guarantee how long it’ll be left up if I’m no longer using it.

To be honest, I’m way to busy these days to spend much time on social media. If people have a question or wish to post a comment for me to see, they can post on my message board or reply to one of my blog postings. I’ll give my Instagram and Threads accounts until the end of the year, but if I don’t see any increase in activity, I’ll abandon those as I already have my Discord account.

The fact is I only have so much time in a day, and right now I’m spending much of it in my home office much like I did all those years I worked on SONIC and other projects, alone with the TV on, only instead of using a pencil or pen & ink, I work with a stylus, a keyboard and my Wacom tablet. I have a deadline to meet in order to complete THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS collection for the printers as well as get the app version completed.

When I’m not working on my main project, I still have a commission or two to complete, as well as figuring out if I can take on anymore after that, as I do have a life with family and exceptionally close friends that mean a lot to me.

So I figure if I matter to people, as much as they mean to me, including everyone who’s followed my work all these years, they can meet me halfway, and interact with me through my website.

People can send me questions, criticisms (constructive always gets my attention) or a compliment.

The site will continue to grow and expand in the coming days and weeks. While the emphasis may be on the store page over other sections at this time, it’s my acknowledgement I have bills to pay – including a printer, shipping & taxes, and so on – in order to keep everything on my end on track.

As it’s been made abundantly clear to me since I made the decision to commit to a printer for TL-SC: BEGINNINGS collection, if major companies and film studios spend a lot of time and money to get their message repeatedly out to the public, I have to do the same.

If you haven’t pre-ordered THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS but plan to do so, now would be better than later. For one thing, your name will be included on my Lara-Su Supporters list that will appear in both the book and the app. And if you’re among the first 200 to order, your copy of the book will include a special personally autographed by me print of Lara-Su.

If you’ve ordered the LARA-SU LIMITED EDITION PRINT, your name will also be included as well.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some work to do. I’ll keep checking in on Twitter until the 15th in the meantime. After that, you know where to find me, and I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for hearing me out and take care.
