Cleanup

This blog is a total mess as I write this. I'm aware of that. A long time ago, I swore that I would stop using this author blog as a personal feelings dump, and I shan't start doing that again now. The simple fact of the matter is that I had precautions in place, but I may just have to face the fact that when my mood darkens, it doesn't matter if the only thing I have to do is press submit on a finished story. It just won't happen.

Either way, I can't and won't promise anything about releases right now. I do have things written that will be published eventually. For now, though, I will slowly clean up this blog, and I will finish my outstanding commission duties. I should also take this opportunity to restate that commissions are closed. The treatment I'd offer simply isn't fair to any possible commissioners, so I won't put people in that position. I'm immensely flattered by those that asked, but I have to be realistic with myself. I have a commission going on right now that I don't even know the start date of anymore, but it is embarrassingly long ago. I should not have put them through it, and I will not put anyone else through that.

There were a few comments in my absence. To you, thank you. It's hard to be sure about anything when you're in the trenches. To come back and read them is encouraging. They will likely disappear over the next few days as I clean up posts that were scheduled to auto-post, but were never finished and just auto-posted in my absence. I still very much appreciate any words from people who appreciate my writings, trust me.

I hope you've had, and will continue to have, a good summer.
