I've been tinkering around with this idea for a minute, so you may have already noticed versions of this page up on my website - but today I wanted to officially share with y'all the new fan art gallery on my website!🎉 I'll be posting your beautiful art in the gallery at the same time that I post it on Tapas. I'll also still be posting each piece of art on the Soft Touch Extras page, where you can find the artist credit and the message I posted with it.

I just wanted there to also be a place where you can all see basically a digital version of the inspiration board above my writing desk! I love every piece of art you've sent me, and I'm over the moon to have this many. Y'all melt my heart every single day.💕

The link to see the fan art gallery is in the caption. If you have trouble with the link, you can also go directly to my website, www.riveronei.com and click on Fan Art Gallery.

Another important thing! You've all been so sweet about encouraging me to take time off when I need it, so I'm going to take a break for a few days. I just need some time to recharge my brain, catch up on doing laundry, and snuggle my critters. But I promise I will be back very soon to dive into the new chapter!🥰

I also saw people in the comments pointing out that I'm close to 4k subscribers, and can I just say: holy shit! My brain can't even wrap around that. I know that it's due hugely in part to all of you sharing my work and helping me get the word out. I'm so grateful to all of you for being here and supporting me, and I hope you'll keep telling your friends and loves about Soft Touch.💕 You don't even know how much it means to me. I am literally incapable of expressing it!

I'll be back in a few days with the first episode of the new chapter, and I'll miss y'all so much in the meantime! Thank you again for being so understanding when I need time to recharge. I appreciate it so much!💓

XOXO,

River
