September revelations and my first attempt at a YCH (Patreon)

Ever since I took to doing writing full time earlier this year I've been angrily struggling with my rate of production. No matter what I tried to do I'd find myself lucky if I managed to squeeze out 1000 words a day. It felt like I was failing in a way. Then about a week ago on a whim, I decided to go back to the old deli and chill in their cafe lounge.

Next thing I know I've written 6000 words and finished two commissions.

So yeah, I found out my primary problem was distractions. Maybe it stems from working customer service all my life, but it's hard as balls to work when I'm at home. It's like my mind associates it with the end of my workplace; jobs over, you got your sanctuary to chill out in until you need to leave again.

I've been returning regularly to the cafe since, taking days off of course, to surprising results. I reached and surpassed my goal of a 30K word month and ended on about 36K, being the last week and all it still makes a personal best. I hope to double that count continuing this through October. It's like that rush when Goku 'surpasses his limits' into the next redundant super saiyan. XD

Been blasting through what remains of my commissions now and hoping to get them cleared by early this month. Then I might try something a bit smaller but more frequent like three slots a week with a short buyer cool down. Give tiers more opportunities to abuse your discounts.

And speaking of which, I adore Halloween!! In a little experiment I'm holding a werewolf themed YCH auction on Furaffinity to celebrate it. So if you're interested in some potentially cheap and lewd TFs feel free to check it out. There are some slots with no bids on them yet.

I have a lot of random story idea scribbled on sticky notes around my desk so this seemed like a good way to maybe put some to use.

Hope everyone's doing well and eager for some spooky Halloweens. I know I am! <3
