One More Time!

General
This is as much to organize my own thoughts as it is to publicly communicate, so feel free to ignore this one if you're simply waiting on fresh work. The short version is: next week, hopefully.
Sinuses doing weird shit again, so I get to be grouchy while not working for the afternoon (if this happens a third time this year, I will explore the anti-histamine options recommended to me the last time this came up, but if it's a relatively isolated couple of incidents I don't mind putting up with inflammation on the outside chance it will help the underlying issue to pass faster). None the less, I'm three or four good days of work out from having the commission queue briefly buttoned up, so I think I'll still be on-target for doing other things this month even if I'm a week or two off my original projection.
I've been having too many ideas bouncing around in my head and too much WIP stuff sitting off to the side to do a proper priority list until I have the free time in front of me, but in terms of bang-for-buck on amount of content going out, I intend to start with a new round of commission round-up uploads. That should be the most time-efficient way of getting...idk, a few hundred images out there with various topics/themes, and should hopefully only take a couple days to actually organize. From there, I might free-style some work and/or collate some of the massive decrepit sketchpile sitting in my digital work archive to get those uploaded. Other things to investigate include setting up a Ko-Fi (I don't actually expect this to see MUCH use, given how the Sellfy archive already works, but I figure it's better to have the option out there), and possibly reluctantly advertising that I do have a bluesky account as a backup contact point, even if I've basically used it for nothing other than occasionally browsing porn, lol. I would like to remain mostly social-media free, having seen what too much of it does to peoples' brains.
Finally, I think the plan will be to do another lap of the commission queue in late October/early November, after which I intend to investigate having some kind of limited expansion of my commissions system. The specifics are not yet set in stone, and unfortunately simply due to me having limited time to work with there probably won't be space for adding more repeating slots to my current commission queue, but I plan to do SOMETHING if I can to address the availability of my work given the number of people who have expressed interest in commissions. I'm already making some changes to my workflow to try and facilitate this.
Alright that's all for now, my apologies to the couple of people who were hoping for work today. Will try to get back into it tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing what you have to post, and what happens with your own WIPs and ideas
