Voice message from Candy - March Update and Upcoming Vacation

Obviously there is an audio above but in case you're in a place where you can't listen to it right away, I thought I'd outline the important points down below.

1) Going on vacation - We were meant to go on vacation in January, but we had the biggest rainfall we've ever seen and there was a State of Emergency declared in NZ with tons of roads closed due to flooding and landslides. So we had to postpone our trip. Then it got so much worse when Cyclone Gabrielle ripped through the country, leaving entire towns underwater in the south and killing tons of livestock, ruining crops, and the country is still trying to recover. Hopefully we can have some good weather for our trip, which is March 19-23.

2) March Audio Releases - My first audio for March was a Daddy Warbucks commission which I released a day or two ago (#389-Banging the Blacksmith).  I will try to have another audio release by the end of this week, but I'm not sure what it will be yet.  I don't actually have any other commission scripts in my queue, so it looks like this month I'll just get to pick some things to record myself, unless some new scripts come in soon! If anyone is interested in commissioning an audio, feel free to visit https://gum.com/CommissionMe to get all the details or see the attachment to this post. I have new IMPROV options available!

3) Reward Changes to my Daddy Warbucks Tier - Speaking of commissions, I wanted to let everyone know about the transition I've made to the Daddy Warbucks Tier. I've switched this over to the old Scriptwriter's Tier format so when you join for $100/month, you'll receive everything from the New Release Club Tier, plus an $80 credit to apply towards a commission of your own.  And after you've been in the tier for 3 months, that will increase to the full $100 credit per month, meaning you'll be getting all of the New Release Club audios for free! This is a fantastic deal for anyone who tends to commission me often, or wants to commission me more. Credits can be accumulated until you want to use them.

4) April Script Contest - I will be announcing the next script contest in about two weeks, so if you're interested in submitting a script this time around this is your heads up to get started!

5) Sorry, but I guess I'm still an introvert! I had real plans to communicate a lot more with everyone, and for a few weeks it was going well and I was posting more often. But then I slipped back to my old ways, which seem to be silently creating new content and then releasing it, and otherwise you guys never hear a peep from me.  I really apologize.  I think it's mostly to do with my severe case of "imposter syndrome", (maybe?), but most of the time I feel like an annoying little gnat,  that people are going to roll there eyes whenever they see a post from me, like "who has time to bother reading what I have to say?" I really tried to break out of my shell, but over time it seems to have grown back.  I'll try to work on it some more!
