Well, shit (A message for backlogged commission holders)
10 years ago
So, I just got a rejection from the med school I applied to (well, the last one still outstanding). I'm having a really rough time right now because of this, but I can't let that slow me down, because all this means I'm going to have to reapply next cycle, which begins in.... oh, two months. So I have two months --maybe a little more than that if I decide to trade timeliness for a bigger pile of experience to tack onto it, which is a balance I'll have to figure out as I go -- to SUBSTANTIALLY strengthen my application, which in my case means I need a ton more clinical experience. Which is going to take time, and focus.
As a result, I'm going to need to basically remove ALL distractions for my life for the next little while. I need 100% of my focus and drive to make this happen. One thing that is always vying for my attention right now is the guilt over backlogged commissions and the fact that I need to finish them. So, here's the deal. If you want your money back because your commission is taking too long and you don't want it pushed out by another couple of months, message me now and I will happily refund you. I've got a more steady source of income now, so don't worry about whether I can afford this option, it is FINE. If you are okay with things staying in limbo for another few months, let me know that instead. But understand, I will be paying no attention to outstanding commissions for the next few months. I likely won't even log onto FA in that time.
I'll be posting something similar over at my Patreon, because yeah, that's also, like pretty much everything that isn't 'get into medschool', being swept into the 'distractions' pile. I wish it weren't the case, but it should at least be temporary.
Thank you all for your support and kindness. It's helped in ways I can't always articulate, but are still very real.
Edited to add: I just noticed the date. I can't imagine anyone would think all of this was a joke (it'd be a joke in incredibly poor taste) but let me clarify: this is not a joke, I did actually in fact get turned down by my last option, I am actually falling apart over this, and April Fools can take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut as far as I'm concerned.
