Hi! My name is K.D., although most online know me as misachan83. I'm 32, and am an author and anime lover. Welcome to the shadows of my creative and sometimes odd mind

A bit Frustrated...

So I've been a bit frustrated creatively lately. Although I've been trying to make wallpapers and all, it just hasn't been coming out. Yes, I'm complaining, but I just need to let it out. I've been working on an Iphone wallie for the last few days and I just can't seem to get it to come out. Here's what I have so far:

I have the idea to make it look like he's broken the glass and all, but I just feel like it isn't coming out right? Any chance anyone can offer any input or advice??? I really wanted to to make this work out

Really????

So I just read an article online that said that people who have children are generally unhappier then people without them. Really? Speaking from experience, I can say that such a thing is absolutely stupid. Even on my hardest days, my children make me smile and cheer me up. Am I and some other parents an exception to this so called study? If so, then there are a lot of people who probably shouldn't have become parents because they didn't anticipate what they were getting into. No offense meant by such a statement, but it seems true to me *nods*

Sorry, but that one just got to me. I'm beginning to think that the world's just about gone crazy...

Ohh...

And so, as luck would have it, I've managed to sprain my wrist. Yes, I'm complaining, but sometimes it's better just to let it out. At least I can type, although it's painful to draw right now, so it's taking me forever to do anything. But I will get something done. It's just gonna take me a longer time, which sucks. I've been working on a new wallpaper too, considering that doesn't take as much. I'm just trying to figure out how to make it fit right.

Okay, so I feel better now letting it out and complaining a bit. Thank you all for listening too

Just curious

Okay, so this is probably a strange thing to ask, but does anyone else have times when they do fan art or other stuff like it when they feel like it's just not good enough? I've been going through that a lot lately, even though I know that it should be and that it's the best I can do. Maybe I just don't have enough confidence in myself, but I can't help but wonder if others feel that way and it's just a normal thing too.

How I feel at times when I'm working on something

Maybe it is silly to think that way, but I do. Anyway, just thought I'd put it out there and ask. Honestly, I could use some advice to get myself past that and all. It's not good because it makes me hesitate on doing stuff, and being creative is good for my mind when I'm feeling off.

Thanks for taking the time and reading. It really means a lot :)

A day of life...

Okay, so this is literally what one of my days shapes up to be nine times out of ten. Actually, it’s kind of funny when one looks at it on the whole, and honestly, I look at it and find it the perfect illustration of trying to work on creativity and taking care of a household. The days do vary at times, depending on what day and what’s going on, but this is usually it in a nutshell:

1. Get up early and get older kid (8) on bus to school. (Be up even earlier to help husband with getting ready for crabbing)

2.Feed and dress 3 year old, then let play.

3.Clean up house and then notice that three year old has thrown toys everywhere once you’re finished….

4.Once everything is straight, try to take time during 3 year old’s favorite show to work on art or writing

5.Be stopped within two minutes because said child needs something… and every two minutes afterwards…. (you’re kidding, right?)

6.Switch places with husband for an hour to help bait his lines (ha, now he has to enjoy the every two minute bugging)

7.Pick up older child, fix dinner and be mediator between two children (they think play and fight are the same things half the time ^^;)

8.Give bathes, put both to bed and finally have time to myself to work on things…

9.Be bugged at least three times by one or both kids not wanting to sleep yet… (again, you’re kidding, right?)

10.Finally have time to myself to be lost in my little world, a new anime, drawing, and whatever else. Such is life, and I wouldn’t have it any other way :)

Yep, so that’s my days in a nutshell a lot, although some days I have more time to do creative things or be online than others. In fact, sometimes I wonder how I end up doing as much as I do. Aw well, such is life, and at least I can do it.
