thank you for the very well thought out response! the "check-in" deadlines sound like a neat idea. in a sense the way i've been updating the monthly sketch posts semi-periodically is already sort of that, now that i think about it. i'd just have to give myself a bit more of a clear pattern. the most wanted list would basically work like a commission queue in my mind. definitely worth a test like you said, but nothing that needs to be set in stone yet for sure!

I see a lot of artists I follow have similar issues with wanting to keep up with deadlines and getting tired/burnt out because of it eventually. Definitely give yourself some grace in that aspect, it's ok to want to change the pacing to improve your longevity as a creator. What I'd think might work would be to give yourself hard "check-in" deadlines, and not deadlines on end-deliverables. Meaning that you'd post your progress on whatever you're working on every X days with pictures or just a write-up sometimes. That makes it so we have something to look forward to as patrons at known times without you needing to stress to get everything DONE by a predetermined date. I think that we as patrons care less about what's promised by a certain deadline and more about whatever deadlines are promised are fulfilled, so try to set yourself up for success as best as possible in this regard and the rest should work out. I like the idea of a "Most Wanted List," but I'm not sure how it'd work in practice, maybe it's worth a test run to see how it feels before committing to it? Please take all my suggestions with a grain of salt, you know what's best for you at the end of the day. Thanks for all the work you do, Pink!
