I just started another bear and went the Expedition leveling. Just have to wait out the other. It was just quicker to me.

I had to turn down the commission as I don’t have enough experience with the subject matter, they wanted the story with and I don’t want to write a paid story that I am “practicing” on. It is not fair to the customer.
Still I didn’t have a problem with the idea beyond that.

Wise move. Perhaps though, it may be something you can research and practice on in your spare time!
It’s a short week (for me) but it’s still technically Monday, so I’m gonna do the Hump Day dance anyway!

I was talking about this with my dad just a bit ago. There are so many different types of ideas for writing out there that I can’t possibly be prepared for them all. Besides commissions are not going to be my main source of income so it isn’t that big of a deal.
I would rather get people to buy my books or support me on Patreon and such than worry about not getting a commission.

This is true, but having even a very basic understanding of different genres allows you to incorporate a lot of different styles into an interesting narrative.
For instance, when I wrote my novel, I was going for a very hard Noire/Pulp vibe. I knew plenty about pulp just by being a long time fan of such luminaries like Lovecraft and Edgar Rice Burroghs.
But the noire? Not so much. So I immersed myself in noire, both film and book.
In my opinion, it’s not about mastery of genre or subject matter, it’s about personal growth as an author.

I am someone who get’s my practice by writing, not by research for this type of stuff. I am not good at transiting research into writing.
Also it was for a sub genera in something I already do but I just couldn’t wrap my head around. I am used to writing both transformation and kinky stories but just not what they wanted.

It just makes me feel bad after all that work I put into my book. I don’t know if I can’t get my book out there I am just scared I can’t do this.
