Status Update, Part Two

For my art, check my DA!
>>> http://zee-wolf.deviantart.com <<< So... it's been a bit, and I wanted to get a new journal up. There's a few things going on that I wanted to put up.
First off, my work situation: things have gone from bad to worse; I get no help from the employees or the management, and there are days I want to scream at someone. I almost did snap the other day in front of a bunch of customers, and felt bad because I probably embarrassed my coworker with my sharp words... probably deserved it, but I still feel bad. I'm seriously considering just quitting, even if it is my only source of income at the moment; I just can't stand the stress much longer, and nothing's changing. More on that in the future.
Second, my commissions - I am working on these, I promise! T_T I know I keep saying this, but I'm almost done with the first one. I'm ashamed at the amount of time that this is taking me, which is why they were marked as free the last time I put up a journal, and that will remain; these commissions are no longer being charged for. Once more, to my two commissioners, I'm so, so sorry for the wait. I will have both of them done quite soon, due to some self-imposed deadlines that NEED to be met.
And that brings me to my third and most important thing right now; in order to meet the deadlines, I need to add to my motivation, so I'm taking my mate's advice and doing a Word War Marathon. What's a Word War? Simply put, two writers compete over a short time frame, usually 10-15 minutes, and try to get the most words down on paper for their story or whatever they're writing. Sometimes stiff competition is all you need for motivation, and it inspires thoughts in the frantic rush to outdo your opponent. So I plan on doing as many of these Word Wars as I can in the near future; if you're a writer, or interested in a writing challenge, hit me up via note or MSN, and I'll contact you however I can (MSN or AIM) and we'll go from there. I'm interested in seeing if anyone feels up to the challenge! Just know you're helping me get commissions out faster. :)
And finally, the last thing I wanted to mention, and the reason for my deadlines: in exactly one month, NaNoWriMo is coming up. For those of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is, look it up at http://www.nanowrimo.org ! And this year, I plan on adding another win to my collection, as quickly as possible in spite of my work schedule. But in order to try and blaze through this, I need to make sure my commissions are done! And I refuse to start until they are done, as they have priority, so this is my goal and deadline. Cheer me on as I go for another 50k run this November! ^^b
I will keep my status on NaNoWriMo updated as the time comes, so look forward to it then.

I wish you the best of lucks with all of that, I'd say to look for another job while keeping the current one so you don't end up with 0 income for too long though.
