Note to self: Breathe in, breathe out

soc_puppetWhat with various job things that mean I'm essentially not working this summer (I'd rather not get into it now), as wall as my mom talking to a local artist about how she got started, I've decided that I'm going to open up crochet commissions at hooked_on_anime tomorrow. Er, later today. This afternoon. ...14:00 July 2nd, US Central time.
I just finished sending out requests to [most of] the more approachable-seeming people* whose characters I've made before; with one exception, commissions of any of their characters will not be taken without their say-so. (MSPA stuff will be either with AH's say-so, or until Monday morning, whichever comes first. If it's the latter, I plan to put aside 10-20% of any hypothetical profits to drop in his tip jar every month or whatever.)
I'm anxious, and I still haven't done the amigurumi pic-spamming I've been planning, but I guess it's still almost time for Operation: Live the Dream.
That, or Operation: Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.** We'll see which it turns out to be.
Here's hoping for both.
Edit: I've started getting responses from people. Oh god, this is more nerve-wracking than I thought it was going to be. Why didn't I think to be more wary of those qualified yeses? Time for a Lorazepam, I'm thinking... [/edit]
*Fuck, forgot about Fat Pony. Someone remind me to at least jot an e-mail off to Kate Beaton before I open the commission post thing? Or this post will remind me. Whichever. Either way, I'm out of energy for tonight. I'm sorry, Kate Beaton! T-T I promise I'll absolutely get to you before the post goes up! Taken care of. Okay, back to breathing now.
** In my family, we have a saying: Do what you love and the money will follow. I will potentially be putting that into practice at two in the afternoon.
