Hi everyone, I thought I'd take a break from a mass tag overhaul I'm in the thick of over on my Tumblr to write a post here.
Well... I have to say, deleting my old account was potentially one of the dumbest things I've done this year. I mean I've certainly done dumber in my lifetime. But, no point in dwelling on that.
Anyway, for now I'm back I suppose. I don't know what I'll be doing here much, save for maybe uploading some of my more recent art? Maybe? Gah, this probably seems like a rehash of my intro, for which I apologize.
I'm done with college now, been done since last December but I walked for my diploma in April. I think I mentioned that earlier in the year before I deleted my old account, but in case I didn't, I guess now you know. I'm back in my home state, living with my grandparents, taking the occasional art commission, and looking for a regular job. I also have a real-life boyfriend now as of, gosh, almost two months ago now. He's alright. As this is my first relationship outside of gradeschool "romances," it probably won't result in marriage but who knows what the future holds?
As for my creative pursuits, I still draw, as has been implied. I've sold my art at a number of conventions this year and would be selling at more but I decided to make the second half of my year clear for finding and building rapport at a day job that, hopefully after gaining some of said rapport, would be willing to give me the occasional time off to go sell at a convention or two. My latest ongoing project is a daily blog over on Tumblr where I try (and often fail)
to draw an Umbreon every day. I even have an Etsy, if anybody is interested (if not that's okay too). Pretty soon I'll have the proper packing materials available to ship prints, so I'll likely add listings for those by the end of the month.
I don't write nearly as much anymore since graduating, fiction or otherwise - although I'm thinking more and more I should at least pick up fan fiction again. Maybe I'll post some of that here or in a new fanfic world, maybe not. I still very occasionally write indulgent self-insert script format fics of the kind that used to be spread throughout my old blog posts, but I probably won't share them here anymore. But I mean, we'll see.
I don't know if I'll be writing a ton of life update posts, but maybe here and there I might. After all, my weird commitment to writing here daily in years past is what kept my journaling habit going for so long and I'll admit I've been slacking in that regard in the past year or so.
So, that's that for now. Until next time, I suppose....
Should I? Should I end this in the same weeby manner I did for so long?
You know what, why not?
Until next time, ja ne!
