A Decision
9 years ago
General
So I'm writing this with the humblest of attitudes, because I realize this isn't something to do lightly, and I apologize deeply for any upset it may cause to those that've been waiting.
After nearly a week of debating with myself about it, I've decided to cancel my current commission queue and focus instead on personal writing projects.
Simply put, I've been struggling with motivation issues over the last month or two, and I think I'm at a point where I need to be easing myself along with projects that I'm 100% invested in. It's better for me as the creator, and it's better for you guys as the readers. I don't want to half-ass paid projects, and I feel as though that anything I produce right now will be half-assed.
My sincerest apologies to those on my commission list, this decision was made with your interests in mind as well, at least insofar as I didn't want to leave you guys dangling, and I didn't want to phone in stories you're paying me to write.
I don't know when I'll open commissions again, and when I do, I'll probably shrink the queue down back to the original 3 slots I'd had to start with. I may focus more on YCH-style projects, where outlines will be provided and readers can pay to have their character involved in the project. They've worked well in the past and balance my ability to write to my mood, as well as allow people to have their characters featured in my smutty shenanigans.
Writing hasn't been fun for me for awhile now, and I want it to be fun, otherwise I may end up stopping entirely and none of us want that! So please forgive this selfishness, but I believe it's for the greater good.

Have to tend and care for that flame of creativity and never let it die away.
I started writing for money while I was in University, and it helped my meagre part-time income. Now that I'm a full-time worker, I don't need the extra money so it isn't the motivation it once was.
I need to find the fun of writing porn again.
And that isn't fair to them to keep them strung along.
One does need to write when inspiration strikes them. Those who write for a living like it seems like I am doing most of my time at work, do feel, at times, a bit worn down but I do press on knowing my work and writing does help people have their voices heard. I hope you do have a fun time writing for yourself and when the time does come for commissions again, I'll take one. :)
