Happy holidays to all. I would individually address every December holiday, but I have a fair bit of ground to cover. Don't worry, it's nothing bad, but quite important.

First, I'll announce the most important things.

1. Once per month, I will be offering my editing/proofreading/general writing consultation free of charge to a single client for a single moderately sized draft. I will be on the lookout for individuals asking for writing feedback first and foremost, and will pick one at random and offer my services. You are more than free to decline if you wish if I approach you; if my chosen winner says no, I'll move on and inquire with another. To keep things fair, I will only choose each individual once. Think of it like names being drawn from a hat, but a bit...

Website's a work in progress, but if you want to refer a friend and pretend we haven't met through this place, feel free to send them here. From here on, my public brand is "Writer X".

Has it really been three months since I posted a blog slash update?

Yes. Yes it has.

I've been a lot less prolific here for several reasons, but mainly it is workload and some extremely poorly timed incidents that forced me to travel frequently. I do not work nearly as efficiently when mobile, as while my office is best described as a whirlwind of crazed notes and empty cups of coffee, I do work best within it's confines. I've also been trying to really improve my craft as a whole, as I get a fair bit of business from Eka's in my fetish portfolio. As such, I feel it only reasonable to continue with a quality product, and that means taking some extra time to get it right. It's hurt my deadlines a little bit, but I've found the work overall has improved for it....

In order to keep up with workload, I am in crunch from 04/09 to 04/15. This means the following.

1. Expedited slot is closed until after 04/15.
2. Messages unrelated to current comms will be responded to within 48 hours instead of 24 hours.
3. If your comm is due back between this timeframe, expect it to come back on the quoted date. If something problematic occurs where I must request one or two more days, expect a message on the due date. Currently, all comms are within scheduled completion range. Coffee manufacturers are also expected to see a minor increase in profits during this time due to more frequent investments from yours truly.
4. I am still accepting new work, but please keep the timeframe above in mind for my responses. My schedule is still...

I will no longer be updating my commission schedule, as I haven't abided by it in a while and have been following my own personal, offsite scheduling. There are several benefits to this that have, as of yet, not been truly made public.

1. I am accepting commissioned work until I say otherwise. Utilizing a floating schedule means I can always take on additional work, so if you enjoy what you've read, don't hesitate to ask.
2. My expedited slot will remain marked as RESERVED/CLOSED; this is because it changes daily whether or not it is an option, as I make the decision each day as to whether or not the upcoming week will allow for a potentially expedited comm. The reason for this is because I have a personal daily quota that I set independently, and I only continue past...

In hindsight, I will probably forget to redeem it and will become a convenient bookmark. Usually what happens, but as a result I've never needed to buy an actual bookmark.

Anyway, I am pleased to announce that I now offer content writing as an additional service, and references are available upon request. Please note that I'll conceal how we actually met as is agreed upon in my pricing, since I am fairly certain a majority of us do not wish real names to be connected with our predilections. At this point, I am neutral to it, but I am certainly not the majority. Also negotiating with a frequent flier client of mine about a proper website for my portfolio. That one will contain mostly non-erotic or vanilla work simply because that is the nature of my business; one public face,...

It has an odd flavor, needless to say. I'm not sure if I like it.

Anyway, still doing my thing; much of the work this past month has been private contracts/ghostwriting, so you haven't seen a lot of uploads. Also totally forgot to upload the Volvox stories, so...whoops. Fixed that. Anyway, I am opening the possibility of a collaboration with an artist in order to drum up some more work on other sites as well as spread mutual reach. I do have a non-vore catalog, though it's limited as majority of my erotic work that I'm allowed to make public is on this site. If this is of interest to anyone, by all means let me know and I can see if it works. As I am a "no limitations" writer with content levels, feel free to send anyone my way. I cannot guarantee acceptance, but...

I'm sure this goes without saying, but expect some communication delays from 11/23-11/24. I'll be traveling for Thanksgiving, as I am U.S. based and those I celebrate with are not in my city of residence. Have a happy holiday if you are celebrating in the U.S., and have a pleasant Thursday and Friday if you are not. I'll be doing some light crunch today to stay on track with my current contracts, but if you need anything I'll try to respond as soon as possible. As always, thank you for your continued support.

Should probably be plural, as these tend to congregate during particularly busy weeks. I am by no means overt with my caffeine consumption, but a hot brew is good for thought. There's been a lot going on since Friday, but things are finally back on schedule. Which is good, though I wish it could have transpired sooner, as I would have preferred to submit a few drafts to expectant clients before the weekend was out...but, the milk's been knocked over in that regard. I'm not by any means late, but being a few days ahead of schedule is the freelancer's dream.

The reason for that is, though I am perfectly content remaining a pen for hire until my personal ink well runs dry, I have been feeling a desire to put more freebies/media to paper. My last book I felt unsatisfied with...

I probably could have just used the last part, but it seems I cannot skimp even on the most inane of accuracies as hard as I try. Anyway.

Currently declaring a crunch timeframe until 10/25. During this time, I cannot accept expedited commissions, as I need a chance to get ahead of what I am in the middle of. Delays should not be an issue (knock on wood), but I will be slower to reply to messages. My schedule remains open for normal timeframe contracts, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have a proverbial itch to scratch. That sounds a bit sketchy saying it out loud, but even the most innocent things often do out of context.

Regardless, thank you as always for your continued support. And remember: if I reply slow this weekend, it is not you, it's me.
