Drawing Time and Life

General
Hewwo this is Chu.
I've been asked a few times by multiple people about the drawings that I owe for them, so I think now is a good time to bring it up and let everyone know about that and be aware next time when it comes to comms! UvU
First, I'll say time is valuable and I wish I had god like powers to give myself more time lol. But by that, I mean that I take my drawing time seriously and I go at a certain pace. Most people want it done quick, and some don't even mind the wait. Thing is there is so much going on that it really effects me and my drawing sessions. People like me have lives to attend to, and sometimes I can't help it and do what needs to be done in order to get back to my free time. Artblocks exist also, aaahhh surprise surprise! There is also times when I have to practice art, and I'm very patient with the process I'm going through. The more I learn, the more time it takes for me to make an image, I have days where it takes me a few hours to make a simple sketch. =v=; I can't help my perfectionist side, even though I'm not perfect, I have my limits.
With that said, I take my time to make my drawings, and I make sure I give it my 100%, even if it does take me days. Another thing is I won't go silent when it comes to my commissioners. Usually I'm so busy with life or tending to other's drawings within those weeks that I'm too afraid to approach the first commissioner that I have not done anything yet. Days like that happen and I think it's about time I say "fuck it" and tell them about if any process was made. If someone gets upset about how long I take, well what can I say? X3c This is why I'm making this journal in the first place so everyone will know what to expect from me!
Edited: I'm not trying to point fingers by the way, this is more so a plan I'm going to work on. XP
I'm setting a goal for myself. That goal is to try and complete a drawing in two weeks at best. If it came quickly, I guess you could assume I had a really good day. Again, I take my time on these drawings and I learn as I go. The whole process of learning and creating is fun for me, and I believe it'll be WAY EASIER on me if everyone knew what to expect so I wouldn't have all of this stress built about something needing to be done NOW.
One last thing before ending this journal, I will be opening comms soon, but I can only open so much. Disappointingly, when I open, I will open 2 comm slots that day. It will not be a first come first serve, I will be selective about it. That choice could benefit people, maybe not, but it's something I should be doing when I'm only opening so little.
Hopefully you all understand what I have to go through and can expect what I'm able to do with my kind of mentality and during this stressful time in the world. Thank you all for reading, I won't stop doing what I enjoy no matter how long it takes.

If there's no deadline then there's no rush, just be sure to keep some regular contact to reassure people they aren't being neglected or forgotten about
