Hello! I hope everyone's had a great year so far. I have mixed feelings as far as March goes. There's just so much uncertainty in my country with the all the new stuff wrought by a new government. I have to believe things will get better with time. Goods' prices inflation seems to be getting less explosive, but it simply won't stop; so everything keeps getting more and more expensive while salaries struggle to keep up! Aaaaaa!

That said, I've been as careful with my savings as I've been permitted, so I should be able to coast through the year while still self-employing as a writer. It's what I like to do, and it always makes me happy when I give someone their story and they love it, so I hope to continue doing it for many years to come.

Self-reflection aside, let's talk about the [Plan]! As most of my regular clients know, my productivity dies from late November to early April because of my highly-demanding seasonal job, which ends after Easter, which this year is Sunday March 31st. Because my country LOVES Bridge Holidays, they're going to be making Monday April 1st and Tuesday April 2nd part of the Holy Weekend (resulting in a 6 day long weekend, which tourists are sure to take advantage of!), so the last day I'll be working will be April 2nd. I'll be officially free from the third and onwards until November rolls back!

I'm currently feeling the piled-up exhaustion, so it's highly likely I'll take a rest. People say I should take a month off, but last year I tried that and by week 3 I was walking on the ceiling (productivity anxiety!), so I doubt it'll be longer than two weeks. I additionally have a commitment on the weekend of April 14th, so I'll be traveling around that date.

If you've been eagerly waiting for me to start taking commissions again, my availability is most likely to fully come back on April 16th onwards. As usual, I will give priority to customers who wish to hire me for particular comms first before I even think of opening public slots. If you have been wanting me to write your idea and do not wish to wait until I open public slots and/or don't wish to compete with other solicitors when those happen, feel free to approach me after April 16th to discuss! This gives you all plenty of time to start considering what you'd like me to write for you!

Whew. Now that I've put dates on everything, I somehow feel less encumbered. I'm hoping this journal gives people a good heads up!

Now, back to the grind and hoping my country doesn't implode in the following months. :D

I managed to snag a code a few weeks back and figured it'd be beneficial to announce my presence there. This doesn't mean I'll stop using Twitter/X to post updates but I figured having more options couldn't hurt!

Alrighty guys, as promised, public slots are open. Please read my ToS, especially new clients that have never made a purchase before, make sure you agree with everything and then Note me your ideas!

There are 3 slots. I will accumulate and read ideas from all those interested throughout this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and choose the 3 I want to work with on Monday.

Hoping for awesome ideas. Good luck to all!

Hello! I will be opening the regular 3 public commission slots next Friday (the 8th). Please read my ToS so that you know how to operate and make sure you agree with them before even thinking to contact me when I officially open! I will post a new journal when it's time for idea submission.

5 days should be enough for you guys to get your ideas in order. c:

It's been a busy winter for me; so many customers wanting chunky stories! I can't complain though. It let me flex the creative muscles and make some good money!

With this last story I just uploaded, I'm officially done with the waiting list of particular customers that started building up since December last year. I plan to take a bit of a rest before I open public slots. Probably will do so early or mid September, so be on the lookout! I will make sure to make an announcement in every gallery and on Twitter/X.

I hope everyone's been having a blast reading all the new tales and enjoying the new art I've commissioned myself. Let me know if you have any favorites! :D
