quietly, patiently reminding myself that I'm currently doing fortnightly releases for a REASON. I'm putting out an episode of SBRR one week, an episode of NQD the other week, looking for other work, developing a New Show, and trying to work out next steps for Twelvelms. I already have a VERY PACKED schedule.
but consider; want to release all content NOW.
is that content recorded and edited and ready to drop? no. am I actually behind schedule on SBRR scripts and New Show admin? YES.
buuuuut. I have written almost the WHOLE SEASON of NQD and it's killing me that I'm having to wait to put it out. it's not even done and I'm already chomping at the bit. I feel like I see a lot of fans talking about the agony of waiting for new episodes to release but I don't see a lot of creators talking about the DESPAIR of not just being able to have the whole thing done immediately so everyone can look at it and scream.
i'm trying to do other things and my brain is like 'vampires vampires VAMPIRES' and last night I finished an episode which has SUCH a reveal in it and I was like 'it's okay, Eira, it's okay, it feels like a long time now but if you look at the calendar, it's not long until this one comes out' but do you know when that episode is coming out? MAY. it's coming out IN MAY.
which is funny bc i MAY have combusted by then from sheer excitement.
just spent two hours proving to myself that no I can't just start putting episodes out weekly, I really can't, it would completely burn me out and I'm already pretty knackered by my production schedule as it is.
i am suffering the AGONIES. this is an entirely reasonable and proportionate response/j.

I had a conversation with my mom about commissions--she’s of the opinion that you shouldn’t have to wait super long to get what you paid for. I’m the opposite; I think artists should be able to take as long as they need to finish a commission, and I’m totally cool with waiting for months even for them to get back to me. Surprisingly enough I’m very patient when it comes to commissioning other people lol. Maybe I just think that way bc I’m an artist myself so I totally get the struggle. (And I also take time with my comms too.) My mom is not an artist so she doesn’t really grasp the amount of time and effort it takes, so she expects results immediately. Which like. I get that too? I dunno. What do you all think? Are you the kind of patient person who’s totally chill with an artist taking months to finish your commission? Or do you want it to be done within a reasonable amount of time, like 2-3 weeks?
