Commission Signed-Off

Hurrah!

The commission is complete, and the client is happy (from what I can tell!). I wasn't very confident about it, but it seemed that it's gone down well - which makes me happy! Still a little nervous about its quality, but meeeh. What can I do!

It means I'm going to be open again, but for a while only short-short things. I need to get back in touch with editing The Fall of the Ascended (yeah, that's right - I've given my novel a working name 8D ).

I've left Mariya and co alone for far too long and I feel like they're starting to fall out of my consciousness. Which is bad! They need to be fresh and vibrant once again and so it's back to being an editing-drone!

Commission time

I feel pretty bad about this.

I've had a writing commission sat on my desk for something like three weeks now, perhaps even a bit longer. It's not been a very successful turn around by me. First I was ill, which killed any sort of creative drive stone dead then came that most horrible of horribles.

Writer's block.

Usually I can just plough on through and force myself to write. But this time I reached a total impasse. I'm somewhat on target now...well, in that I'm actually writing. Sadly I'm just not feeling that creative spark right now.

The commissioner has been very understanding so far, but I still feel bad for not providing anything sooner.

The good news is that I got the positioning sketches through from the newly commissioned picture and I love it! I'm giddy and excited, as ever, when it comes to seeing those silly pictures in my head brought to life.

Buggery!

Turns out most of my writing isn't gonna cut it for e-publication without serious sanitising! Which kinda defeats to point of the stories I guess! Non-con/dub-con is a No-no for e-publication in the erotica field it seems!

Nevermind!

In other news, there's a picture of Mariya and Vestae together in the works...I'm excited :D

Well fuck!

I was on track and super excited about getting my first e-book ready. I had an artist I really like working on two covers for the two different novella length chapters...then the artist actually read the story and decided that they didn't want to be associated with it.

Which I get. I can't say I'm pleased or happy about it. But I get it, the story is extensively Non-Con and although has a pay-off, it's all pretty harsh.

But now I'm up shit creek sans a paddle.

I am back to square one and in need of an artist I like...again...who won't mind illustrating that sort of thing.

Fuck. Fuckity fuck.
