Hiya guys!
Time for one of my biannual (sometimes triannual) updates.
- Definitely doing a lot better than last year (and the previous couple years.) It's nice. When I do have occasional hours of anxiety (instead of whole days... or weeks... in a row...) it actually feels weird because it's not 'normal' now. (Even though... I probably just jinxed myself.) Some social interactions do spark anxiety attacks but it's not a constant flow of low-grade fear.
- I've started to gather patterned designs for fabric and other future projects related to my Etsy shop. So far, I've made 6 scrunchies with my art on them. I have other plans, but this is where I'm starting.
- Writing is kind of on hold right now. *hides* After several years of not drawing due to mental and college-related circumstances, I'm now making up for lost time. I'm honestly probably rusty now since I haven't finished anything in months. -.-
Thanks for reading! I do appreciate every +fav and +watch I get and everyone I get to know a little bit (some of you I've known for years) :hugs: If you need me for anything, send a note here or contact me on FA. I don't always check my comments here because there's rarely a new one.

Thank you for the birthday wishies!
Thank you guys for the warm wishes! I had a good day-- got some last ends and bits at the craft store for Christmas, got treats from the local Asian market, got my hair trimmed, and Dalton made shrimp for tacos. :aww: Thank you everyone who stopped by my page yesterday (and all year long) to comment nice things. :aww: :hug: :love:
I do think I have come to the conclusion, though, that my birthday stresses me out. Not that I'm getting older, because that means I've gained another year of experience points. Or because I hate it (because I really really do like my birthday). But because I guess I feel like that's the one day of the year that I
Time for a Journal Update (I guess)
It's been a year since I wrote my last journal, so I think it's time to put something fresh up! Pretty general update journal.
A R T: I've been a bit more of a lurker here on dA and FA. I tend to draw in spurts now, but I've been getting back into a more consistent style that I really like. I feel like I've improved a fair amount in the last year, and I'd just like to draw more to make use of what I've gained, but I definitely have trouble motivating and not feeling mildly bored. I also don't sit down and just draw for the sake of drawing. Though, I did take over the sketchbook I originally bought for my boyfriend and I doodle in there somet
Art, Writing, Etsy, Life Update!
Throwing this up even though I feel like my journals don't get read anyway. Just gonna write a big update. :la:
A R T:
Art got pushed to the backburner a bit this month, and I didn't really have much to share. I was extremely lucky to have some great illustration commissions, but they're unshareable for a couple reasons. I have a couple new pieces posted on FA; be aware they're NSFW. Haven't really drawn anything new in about a week. Ooops.
I've also been feeling like my art has stagnated, but at the same time I know how much I've improved this year. It's weird. But I got realllly burnt out for a while there, and I'm struggling to relear

Good to hear you're doing better 
Keep it up!
Also, it's just seems the older we get, the less time we have for art or writing, especially if we don't do it for a living, so don't feel bad about not updating or anything. Life comes first.
