Hey guys!
So, I want to keep this journal as short as possible so we aren't here all day with me babbling on about my home life!
I wanted to get this journal up yesterday but a few obligations prevented me from doing so. Plus, the first journal I had written was a little wordy and I just want to get to the point!
I also want to say thank you to everyone who have been so patient with me. Especially since it's no secret that I've done this before in the past. But you all have put a lot of faith in me and I am incredibly thankful and appreciative of that and really don't wish to keep shirking the trust and support others put in me.
While I've been here at my parents' there have been some new added stressors that have made any attempt at finding a good schedule a lot harder than it should be. There are some expectations that come with staying at my parents' and they directly conflict with me having any free time for me to take care of what needs to be done. And that's always been that case when it comes to me staying here. I will avoid going into further explanation as I don't intend to build a pity party full of excuses for myself as that isn't what the point of this journal is.
The last journal I wrote laid out a plan where I would spend the month working only on commissions that I owed and not taking in anything new. Obviously, that didn't happen. The one thing I /have/ done that I promised is not taking on anymore work whatsoever until I finished what I owe and I still plan on doing that! When it comes to making money right now, I'm doing my parents' landscaping which eliminated the need of having to take on new work altogether. At this point, I can't afford to take on new work until I've completed what I /do/ have because that wouldn't be fair to the people who have already paid.
I've gotten to a place now where I can comfortably manage my time! So, beginning Monday is when I'll start working on chipping away at my queue. While I work, I may throw up adoptables here and there so I have a side flow of money that I can then use for refunds because taking care of those are super important as well. My main priority right now is getting workflow back to a steady stream again.
The second biggest issue that everyone is having a problem with is my communication. But I have a way of remedying this problem: I’ve created a discord server!!
You can follow this link here to join!
https://discord.gg/t2DWAz
Basically, you can open a ticket there to ask questions! In the future, when I begin taking commissions again I will also use this server for that but I want to first use it to get my lists taken care of!
This discord is also a place where you can come and hang to out! I love meeting and getting to talk to new people!
The only thing I ask is you please message me without any aggression. There is no anger on my part whatsoever if you choose to ask for a refund or what have you. I will not get defensive or snp at you in way, so I ask that you please do the same for me! I know that people are upset and they are well within their rights to be upset! I’m not saying you can’t be upset because if I put myself in the opposite shoes I would be upset too. But I promist I still haven’t gone anywhere and nor do I ever plan to!
Thank you for listening to me up until this point! If you have any questions or you would like to reach out to me you can do so on the discord server! Just join the server and open up a new ticket in the designated channel!
