Hello everyone, I'd like to start by thanking my commissioners for their astronomical patience. Those of you who commissioned me in July when finances were difficult are life savers, and I wish I was capable of completing your orders with the expediency you deserve. Back in December I took on a few more commissions after making headway through my queue, thinking I would be able to complete everything in a timely manner before mid-February. As you can see, that hasn't happened. There are a few reasons for that, but please don't take this as me making excuses for why your orders haven't been fulfilled yet. I overpromised and underdelivered and that's 100% my fault, going forward I'll be aiming to take on severely reduced batches at a time to counter this.
My mental and physical health have been significant barriers for me, and if you follow me on twitter or blusky, you've likely been subject to my whinging about it. I'm not comfortable sharing the specifics, but I suffer from a number of non life-threatening illnesses and mental health complications that leave me feeling routinely exhausted. Every so often I receive a routine procedure that is meant to raise my energy levels, but even that has been showing diminishing returns, leaving me very tired during the day, and suffering from writers block. Progress on commissions is continuing at a glacial pace, I manage a few hundred words here and there, but I'm no Stephen King or Brandon Sanderson; my life would be much easier if I had their output.
The long and short of it is: I'm still working on everyone's commissions, but I'm sorry that it's taking so long. I genuinely love being able to write for you all, and I'm flabbergasted at how patient people have been with me. I sometimes feel incredibly fraudulent for having taken your fees up front, without being able to make good on my delivery schedule, but the grace you've afforded me allows me to live with significantly reduced stress due to financial pressure. So thank you for that.
If you ever have any concerns about your commission, please use the email attached to your order, or send a note!
Just please remember that I try to keep a work-life balance for my own health, and I'm unlikely to respond if it's outside of work hours!
P.S - I'm slightly worried people think I may be shrugging off my responsibilities if you've seen the art I've been posting on my socials. I draw purely as a hobby, and for therapeutic reasons. And it's done entirely outside of my work hours, just in case there were any concerns!
