Happy new year everyone.

Hi people, Natsume here, 1º of all, again, thanks for your support and patience another year, as I said I couldn't do this without you supporting me and I'm incredibly grateful to be able to make a living drawing what I like.

Another year is completed, a interesting year, well I'm not going to do a step-by-step analysis of the year because... I don't even remember the whole year XD, I have a ver bad memory and I'm too lazy to check it, but overall it's been an interesting XD.

I can point something like, for example I coudl complete the Rose comic, or how this year Kitsune an Rose has become very popular (thanks to that comic), the back of Vore office or that I finally forced myself to improve and started doing illustrations instead of just comic pages (drawing full illustrations is something that has always been difficult for me and mentally it has become a challenge to overcome).

Another important stuff was go back to the manga event to sell my hentai books and... Unfortunately, the way I dealt with it was so tremendously toxic, and now after a few weeks of recovering I have been able to get out of my "tunnel vision" and see how absurdly obsessed I was, and how much it has affected me mentally and physically. Fortunately you learn from everything and next year it shouldn't happen again, but it has really affected my health, nothing serious, don't worry, basically for the last 4 or 5 months thanks to the stress and anxiety of... everything, work, life, the event etc. I've had to take sleeping pills almost daily, what's the problem? They recommend you not to take them for more than 2 weeks in a row, so you can imagine the problem , as soon as the event was over I stopped taking them, especially because I had generated a resistance and they were no longer effective, and the past two weeks, the combination of the "withdrawal syndrome" (which in this medicine translates into a return of much stronger insomnia for weeks or a couple of months), plus all the stress, tiredness acumulated... I've spent the past weeks barely sleeping 2 or 3 hours per day, some days being little more than a zombie, but as I say don't worry, now I'm starting to be able to sleep a few hours more and better, even the pills have started to work again for emergency days (which is what they are for), it's not that I've become a drug addict or nothing like that, or stand in a corner like a cokehead who needs his fix, these pills don't do that and do not create any type of physical dependence (that because I could stop in a instant), but all this stuff made me realize that I'm getting older, this month I turned 41, and okay, I'm not old, but I'm not young either, and even though I've been exercising for 3 months and I improve physically, my body isn't in shape and I've noticed it a lot, so, New Year's project? Take it easy, improve my physical condition and try not to obsess so much about things.

Leaving the drama aside, (I just wanted to let you know because I know there are people worried about my health, thanks you very much), this year is looking interesting, 1st I'm getting back into hentai, I feel like drawing "normal porn" again and I'm going to try to get it out here, I hope I don't get blocked again like I did a while ago, this year we'll continue with Naga Story and Vore office, and in a couple of months I guess I'll start a new "nagaverse" comic with the theme that won the poll of the last week, now I have to organize the story in more detail, and about the physical sale of books, I'm going to take a vacation the next few days, to rest, tidy the house, etc. I'll take advantage of it to study alternatives and options to do it, the truth is that without knowing how many books I can sell it's difficult, because I might sell 20 books like you ask me for 200, I don't have the slightest idea of ​​the interest you might really have, I also have to look at the whole issue of the costs of I'll send you all that, but oh well, problems for the future Natsume (in 2 days XD). And I think that's all.

Thanks again for this year, I hope that next year you'll also support me and put up with all my nonsense, I hope that the rest of the year goes well for you, that you have a good New Year's Eve and that you have a bright new year full of predators, prey or whatever you prefer.

Goodbye and happy new year.
