I'm Not Dead Yet, Maybe
8 years ago
though it sort of looks like it hey hi
My productivity since returning from the America trip has taken a HUGE hit. like. incredibly huge. It's largely due to my flatmates who won't leave me alone, contributing to tension, lack of focus, and just general bad mood. I know this because I'm housesitting for a week and a half, and that time being alone was .. while the focus wasn't Great, my mood was absolutely fantastic, which would inevitably lead to me being better about doing work.
The downside was that I was absolutely ravaged by hayfever; my eyes are constantly itchy/painful there's raw patches in my nose that sting even when it's not itching like hecko, which is most of the time. it's hmmmmm
to say it's distracting is putting it mildly
I've got commissions open on tumblr/twitter as a couple of people who follow me there have noticed! They're not open publicly here because I'd get swamped, and my workload is suffering enough as it is - but I'm low on funds. Dangerously low on funds. My entire computer savings are gone.
If I don't pick up on this work ethic soon, I'll be in a whole world of trouble, because I'll have none of the money, and yet all of the work from it that I need to complete.
What I need to do is;
tell my flatmates to back the heck off. They both do art and understand the freelance deal, but they don't fully comprehend the fact that home =/= available; and also leaving me alone for a day is Ehh, but to really recharge I need to be left alone for a week or more. That gives a day to get over any bad social energy, and the rest of the time to acclimate and do my goddamn work
And Then when that's all sorted, I'll amp up my Patreon. there's a handful of patrons on it, but I'm probably not instilling the highest trust that I'll get onto the project goals I have set, if I can't even manage the monthly 1-hour sketches the corresponding tier promises. (Or, if Drip promises to be a better service, I'll switch to them, since Patreon still won't release the charge-upfront feature even after rolling out unrelated update after update.)
If I can set things up properly (and sleep schedule allowing), hanmonster has proposed a dual-stream setup, so if I get premium Picarto even for the last month I'm in this house, hopefully that'll let me be more productive! regular streams on my own are sort of. hm. weird if I'm talking at people and they're not responding, but a dual stream sounds like a Hella Good time, so it's promising.
HOPEFULLY IT'LL ALL WORK OUT. AND MAYBE I'LL answer some emails. a christmas miracle

I can totally understand people unintentionally taking your work time. It isnt malicious or anything but it can be incredibly grating.. Glad you got a break from it at least for a little while and hope they do indeed back the heck off.
And also wish you a swift recovery from hay fever.
I look forward to seeing streams though!
