Life Keeps Going (Update)

Hey everyone; so yeah, I know it's been a hot minute since I've really said much of anything, but you can thank real life for throwing a lot of curve balls lately. Specifically, I had to take a short break because of the fact that even in the current situation most businesses find themselves in, they're still willing to boot folks for frankly silly reasons. Yeah, I got the boot from my previous job almost a month ago, but the good news there is that I had a job offer by the next day, so I'm finally situating into new work that, frankly, I'm finding works better for me personally. Especially since my hours are set every week and I always go in at the same time, which will hopefully mean I can better plan out time to write more.
But on that note, this IS a full time job, so unfortunately it's going to have an effect on my writing. Namely, that once I finish the remaining two commissions I have (And I DO plan on finishing them, and always did) any future paid work is most likely going to be on a case by case basis, at least for a little while. I'm going to try and focus on doing more personal works, or just taking on projects that sound interesting to me. On a related note, I have several pieces of commissioned/requested artwork I'd love to post, once I have some nice write ups for them. And a few I just wanna post to show off folks' awesome art. I'm really hoping that things manage to keep stable now, and hopefully I can start to be a bit more productive and start making more original content.
Just wanted to get that out there for you nice folks. Life's still pretty decent for me overall right now, and I can only hope it stays such. There's some other stuff on my mind, but I'm going to save that for after I've gotten a chance to get some proper sleep, if I post about it at all. So until then all, stay safe.

I know you hope to one day earn a large portion of your money from writing, but I do hope your new job is exciting and that you work with friendly folks.

OP
Thanks man; it's nothing to special, but I at least make what I was making before, and the staff I'm with seems fairly friendly so that's a nice bonus.
