My creative process

General
Hello.
This is not a journal to say I'm having a creative block or am otherwise struggling with work. Far from it. I just fell compelled to write something after reading another artist's journal, going into details about how he goes about his work -- https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9983103/
In a way, it is a bit comforting that I am not the only one like this. Just like Tanraak, I need to stop working on some ideas and start others, because I feel the need of taking a break from some ideas. This is a big factor on why I decided not to charge commissioners until I am close to finishing their respective requests -- I do not think it is fair to hang to someone's money while I take my time to finish their request. Not to mention that the pressure of owing someone just makes it harder for me. :|
With plans for moving next year and making art my "job" of sorts, then I will have more time and things hopefully move faster. But the same process of juggling which pics get worked at a specific moment will certainly remain.
Thanks for your attention.

It's also good of you to notify people that this is happening. Not that you would ever take money and run, but the pressure and wearing-down is very real. You are doing a good thing for yourself and if anyone says otherwise, they probably don't care about you that much.
