This sounds so familiar! You're not doing the maps "for exposure" which is good. I've got (only) a few commissions under my belt and the most recent one is the first time I negotiated in the slightest. There is something to be said for getting experience along with a rate of pay that might start out on the lower side. I hope you figure out some of the flow stuff, my speed still feels really slow so I'm trying to remember that it might take quite a few maps before I really get rolling!

Best of luck!
