Work Schedule Changes
a year ago
Hello, all.
I'm making a journal to let you all know that I am adjusting my work schedule, starting at the beginning of next week on Sunday.
I have been working on commissions daily since I began taking them a few weeks ago. I have received a steady stream of clients, which has given me consistent work, and for that I am deeply thankful. However, I have also not taken a single day off since I started.
Beginning on Sunday, I will be taking weekends and Wednesdays off. I will still be online and will respond to inquiries as normal, but I will not be working on commissioned stories during this time. I feel the need to share this information publicly, so current and future clients will be aware of my work schedule and why they may not receive any updates on certain days.
I do not expect this to slow down the progress I make on commissions, in fact quite the opposite. When I first began doing commission work, I wrote nearly 5000 words daily on good days. Many days now I find myself struggling to surpass 500. I hope that by having several days a week to not worry about commissions, I will be able to approach the former figure once again. I believe that by taking time off to care for myself, I will be able to write much more efficiently during the days I do work on commissions and will overall better maintain my health and motivation.
Thank you for understanding, and have a lovely day.
