Trying to explain why I've been slow and unresponsive lately
9 years ago
I don't know how many times I have to apologise for delays until I'm able to bang out stuff regularly, but here we are. Again.
Short answer: I've piled on too many things at once for the past couple months, and I've been friggin drained.
At the moment, I got a buncha things on my plate, several hours driving a week, helping out with weekly tournaments, helping to run an anime society, doing commissions for the 'vanilla' crowd with a separate alias, helping parents with stuff. Just recently I signed into doing part-time deliveries around my local area, so that too. On top of it having been a particularly shitty month in a particularly shitty year, I've started to become especially slumpy in my free time as a result. Or is that just me making excuses, now that the thought of being drained has been etched into my mind? I dunno. I just feel bad that I've been much less active and responsive, especially on IM's. It's why I wanted to make this journal, to acknowledge that I know I'm not being as productive and active as you want me to be, and I'm deeply sorry.
Also noticed this page hit over 2000 watchers since the last journal. Thanks everybody!
If you have any suggestions as to what I could do to celebrate, I'd like to see 'em. :)

(Although you know, we'd accept some vanilla stuff if that's what you had!)
Watchers aren't /that/ picky.
Good sleep and exercise would be a start.
I hope you'll do okay Val, you honestly have some serious potential as a porn artist.
By the way, you could add a big disclaimer in your commission info saying that you will try your hardest to get commissions done ASAP, but that you cannot rule out delays. "***Please bear in mind that, despite my best efforts, delays are very much possible***" - something like that.
That way people should at least be more aware of the possibility of delays.
As for celebration ideas, especially since you're busy, at most I would've just suggested a simple but sexy sketch with someone facing the audience and saying "thank you for 2000 watchers!" And (this is just my personal preference) have the character implied to be a guy wearing a female suit and maybe even do something sexy.
I really hope you're doing well and I wish you all the best!
