Bad news, I’m afraid,&nbsp;gentle readers.

…it looks like I’m going to have to start enforcing what I have been ignoring up to now, namely, treating asking questions as the one-per-$-per-month [Patreon reward](https://www.patreon.com/eldraeverse?ref=eldraeverse.com) that I declared it to be, rather than as something freely offered when questions are asked.

I don’t really _want_ to do this, as I rather enjoy expounding on little details, and for that matter, it is in some cases useful to explore some worldbuilding edge cases. The trouble is, however, writing up and in some cases figuring those answers requires much the same part of my brain, and for that matter the same part of my motivation, as writing. And thus, answering them, or just having them lying around to be answered, I have noticed, is having a fairly serious&nbsp;adverse impact on the amount of _actual writing_ that I’m able to get done. (Especially since I have a contract job in the early stages which, from past experience, is also something that can impact my writing time.)

So, while not foreclosing&nbsp;the option&nbsp;entirely, this is an attempt to limit the volume to something a little more manageable, or rather something&nbsp;compatible with the fiction that is, after all, the point of the exercise.

I do, of course, continue to welcome your thoughts, speculations, and so forth, in the comments, even if I can’t reply to all of them.

Requesting your understanding,

The Somewhat Frazzled Author
