I'm going to be blunt and say you are better off finding a part time job. The thing about writing commission is that, no matter *how* good you are at writing, not many people would get one since literature is more common than artwork. Plus, if you are going with the "designing characters with words" path, it'll be even more painful than writing alone: There are stuff that you literally can't describe or other people's vision on the design won't be the same as yours (that's why designers must be able to draw their ideas out), so on and so forth.

An alternative would be crafting accessories or baking cookises and sell it, but I dunno if you can do either, so it's not my place to say.
