I am Now Finished With School (Almost)
As of July 16, 2021 I have satisfied all requirements for the senior, and final, phase of the course. All that is needed for me to exit (complete) is to complete the rest of the course.
As of July 27, 2021 I have complete and submitted all my completed coursework and everything is green lit with them. I just need a formal message from them to know I have officially exited (completed) the program.
From now until our graduation ceremony on August 5, 2021 I will be working on polishing our senior (thesis) project since we present it during the ceremony. I promised to work on the app for 5 hours on weekdays until the app feels complete and it could extend into the weekend too if necessary.
After the ceremony I will be taking a few weeks break from everything before fully getting back in the groove of things.
Stories
I might scarp all current fanfiction and focus on making all original work. I understand this may upset fans, but my interests and aspirations have changed and I would rather not produce mediocre work, due to not being that interested in it anymore, just to appease the fans. Moreover I’m just not sure I want to pick up any of the stories I’ve left for going on 2 years now. However, the ones I’ve teased about still interest me.
I don’t plan to start writing again immediately because I want to start rebuilding the Lucid Creations website from the ground up. I also need to focus on getting a job now and I also want to move before the end of the year as well. I can say that I do want to have 1 or 2 chapters of the new story done by the end of the year.
Website
I plan to start working on the new site before the end of August and will be the first thing I start on after my break.
Twitch Streams
At the time of writing this on July 28, 2021 I do not plan to get back to a regular streaming schedule until August 7, 2021 (the Saturday after the grad ceremony).
I think the new streaming schedule will be:
Wed 7PM – 11PM (CST)
Sat 7PM – 12PM (CST)
Most Up To Date Twitch Schedule
I need to reserve weekdays for job search and don’t want to stream on both of my weekend days.
Twitch Stream Content
I am contemplating mixing the content on the streams just a little bit. I am thinking of adding a mix of coding (irl type stream) alongside the usual gaming. I hope nobody minds the new coding segments. Maybe you’ll learn a thing or two as you watch. It isn’t intended to be anything educational or tutorial based. Just chatting and hanging out as I develop and test the new Lucid Creations website.
Hypnosis Files and Other Content
I plan to start catching up on the backlog sometime in August after I start developing the new website. Starting with the first items in the queue and working my way back, excluding holiday themed ones if the holiday isn’t coming up.
Commissions
I don’t plan to start taking a majority of commissions anytime soon. I want to get my hypnosis file backlog down and also start developing the new website. Once I get those things going I might start accepting Hypnosis Script and Hypnosis File commissions, however I don’t plan to take any story commissions until the new website is launched or at least in the beta testing phase. I will probably start taking personalized 1 on 1 hypnosis session for commissions again starting late August after I start getting back in the groove of streaming and start developing the new website.
Patreon News
I am keeping my promise about restructuring the Patreon rewards. I will be working with patrons through Patreon and Discord to see what rewards are appealing. I will also ask for public feedback too. Expect updated rewards before September 1, 2021
I have mentioned a lot of this already on Twitter. To see regular updates before big posts like this please follow me @LucidKobold
