TL;DR: I am hoping to open Commissions and YCH soon. I am still taking stock of what I have, what I need, and figure out prices. I am also hoping to start up some comics again. However I am still MASSIVELY used-up feeling and VERY tired.

Journal Entry:
For the past few years, I have not had the time nor the energy to really want to sit and draw for any reason. I would pretty much have to force some output now and then for Christmas or North American Fur deadlines, and NAF is now gone.
Now that Mom is in Long Term Care for the rest of her life, I now have some time on my hands.. that I have been spending in bed mostly. I am still really, REALLY exhausted, but I have been trying to get some doodling done when I am not visiting mom, dealing with finances, or cleaning house.. (my parents were only two steps away from being full on hoarders).
Since I have not been working, save for taking care of my mother and the occasional odd job, I am feeling my bank account start to suffer. To that end I am hoping to open up commissions soon. Taking on a few here and there, and getting them done when I can. I am thinking of setting up a few low cost YCH drawing, mostly bust and upper torso stuff, to begin with, as well as taking on a few regular commissions from scratch.
Between all of this, I have been working on several lewd comic ideas, actually world building to see if they can all be part of a larger story.. causing me to write and rewrite them all in my head, and then jot them down onto a note pad. The first couple will be short and maybe tangentially connected, but I have a whole lusty backstory to this world which will probably never be actually used, but will help establish a canon at least. I am not sure how far into this I will do, as this will be at least a decade long commitment at this point if I do all the stories.
All this means is I want to do a lot of drawing, and I need some funds. I don't want to e-beg, though I though of setting up a tip jar that could go neglected, heh heh. I am hoping to set up commission using PayPal or maybe money orders or other options at some point. The nice thing about PayPal, is I can us that to pay for groceries (completely with delivery). I do like eating! I could then use the cash in hand to pay for markers and pencils and card stock and so on. (Yes, I know how horrible PayPal is, but it is currently all i have...)
What I have to still do is figure out what I have and don't have for my supplies. I am down to testing my markers. I have been tossing out a ton of old dead or damaged stock. The place I had been getting my markers from now has a VERY limited supply, so I might have to try local sources again, for a stab to my wallet (and soul). Its cheaper to go out for lunch than it is to buy a marker... I am also hoping to do more with pencil crayons, especially with my smaller YCH and half sized commissions. I like to think I am quite good using pencil crayons.
I am also thinking I might set up a DATE ME commission for Valentine's.. might mention that Monday...
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
