Not to make this sound like a ranty complainy derg-go-stompy-tantrum sounding journal, but yea, I'm VERY GLAD that 2023 is FINALLY here. Why? Because the last part of last year was garbage for art and for my pace. I swear I couldn't get a break with things irl and it's also my fault that I let stuff pile up so much. So much so that I couldn't frequently update my journal. I'm LEGIT cringing at the fact I couldn't bother to update my journals from 2 months ago from how ass it all was. =..=;

But ANYWAY, yes, these slots from October have been done, and yes they will be posted this week along with another page from 2021's slots that I think I forgot to post at the time let alone ALL THIS TIME, along with returning to backlog. I just think I'm beating myself up here, but I will be SO much better this year >< I've already been making strides to improve things irl as well as for online.

So, before I post any of the slots from October, I'm going to leave a list here of how many batches (or pages) were done this time around and who requested and such so you all get a feel of what to PROBABLY expect this week. As for some folks I've been noting on here, I will return back to within the next couple days :)

That said, moving forward if I get commissioned or noted for one on here, I will NO LONGER be using the notes system full-on for updates. To be honest, it feels like notes take too long. Instead, I will ask to provide an alternate means of contact to discuss updates and details for. (ie Discord or Telegram, etc) I WILL initially start details and such with notes but for the rest of the way through, I'll prefer a different method :) I hope all of this is making sense

Meantime, I didn't mean to put a damper on anyone and hope all you out there had a happy New Year coming in! Let's all do our best to make 2023 a good one! :D

There WAS a fifth empty slot here that I was gonna list at a discount for 25, buuuut October is WAY past already and I don't think anyone would want anything like that this late in the game, and I wasn't able to come back to mention said final spot with the reduced price, so yea... :'D
