UPDATE - State of the Nate
11 years ago
General
So yesterday was my 36th birthday and that's given me pause to evaluate my life up to this point. I have much to be proud of and some things to be ashamed of, but I'm still fairly young and have a lot of work ahead of me.
Therefore, let's get to the update. First I'd like to let everyone with a commission due from me that I am working hard at getting them out to you. I'm dreadfully stressed out right now and wound up falling a little behind. In order to catch up I'll be postponing commission slots this Friday. This means that I'm going to be drop dead busy for some time.
Since keeping up with the work and the cost of living increasing I've been considering opening a Patreon account to help compensate. Should it be successful It would serve to improve my health and allow me to focus on some personal projects I've been itching to get off the ground. I'd be interested to hear some of your thoughts on this.
As it stands I'm swamped for the rest of the year and I sometimes feel that my heart's going to burst from overexertion. Worth if to see the wonderful comments from all of you.
That about wraps up this update, thank you for reading!

All I can say is... Time. Management.
Manage everything.
You CAN afford time for you during the day. And you can afford breaks to keep your mind fresh.
Keep new and fresh, inspiring music playing no matter where you are.
Go for walks! Get OUT of the house even if it's just to walk to the end of the street and back. Try to think of new ways to see the same things that you see day in and day out. Every day doesn't have to be the exact same if you don't want it to be.
You adore drawing, try some YCH auctions like I suggested. Gives you a chance to express a bit more artistic liberty and draw what YOU want. Those are really popular and could supplement you quite a bit. You have the following for it hun. Find ways to keep that 'I love my job' vibe going. <3
Hope this helps.
And like I said a few times yesterday. Happy Birthday.
Don't stress too much, whatever you do, the most important thing is to be happy.
