Fresh Start!

4 min read
:forgiveme: Hi again! I'm not a ghost, I promise!

Wow, it's been FOREVER since I've logged back in to this account. :blushes: I am so, so, so sorry for neglecting this and my groups. My Muse was elsewhere and I was feeling the unnecessary stress of this account becoming a chore, but I think I may be able to recover from this if I gradually ease my way back here and start from the beginning. Eh, maybe some of my behaviour earlier on before these random hiatuses indicated that I was getting overwhelmed or distracted, so once again I apologise for being a nuisance before disappearing, it was an annoying state of limbo.

At the same time, I'm not completely sorry because life happens and people divert to other interests. :shrug: But I still wanted to let those who may have missed me, or wondered where the hell I went, know that I wasn't deliberately being a jerk. :)

^^; Heh, I MAAAAY also have had to reset my login details it's been that long! Whoops. Nevermind, I'm here now. All these stupid little factors that contributed to keeping me away.

:iconallthethingsplz: ANYWHO! Give me some time to get this account tidied up and ready for fresh content. It's not going to be fun but with a 'clean' slate I might be able to focus better on what I aim to do next. As for the groups, now that I CAN login, I'll do my best to step up my game. Anyone who's still an admin of the groups I run, please get in touch with me to (for real this time) discuss where to go from here. I realise some rules or whatever have probably become outdated and could be simplified.

If anyone actually reads this journal, that is xD.

First and foremost, in order for me to focus on things like groups etc, I need to get my shit together HERE in my gallery. It's been long overdue and I've put it off forever because I had no real direction to take this account in. It's been a mish-mash of random crap and I simply had no clue how to deal with it and, naturally, procrastinated. :lol:

BUT I DO have an idea of what I want to do with this account now :D. It's taken FARRR to long but to keep content fresh and to maintain SOME meaning, I'm considering making the main focus of this account ART.

:painter: Yes, yes, I've always been a writer, art is not my strong point, but if I make it the central point of this account, I might improve :aww:. That's the plan anyway, I'm not interested in strict criticism, this will only be casual, but there's also the issue of not having a scanner at the moment.

:dummy: More obstacles!

As for FanFiction, I'll probably still upload some on this account. Maybe not as much, but we'll see what my Muse decides to do.

I'll stop rambling now. Sorry once again for vanishing off the face of the earth (with the exception of those who know my other accounts), I'll do my best to be around more once I settle into a routine.

See you around! Thanks for your patience!

New Year Icon  Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone!

Don't worry, I've not dropped off the edge of the planet. I'll try to get some more deviations up in the near future and be more vigilant with my groups.

Have a great end of 2013!

Hello, watchers and random passersby. It is I, back from the real world. :iconwoooplz:

Same old story - life's busy and I've got a lot of priorities to juggle. We all power through in the end, no matter what life throws at us! :iconknightplz:

:writersblock: This account needs some more literature! Therefore, I will continue uploading my DC 100 Themes Challenge [which I custom-made] so that you guys have some content to browse. I've written upto 75 individual drabbles/short stories for this challenge, I intend to carry on until I  reach 100. Since it is merely something I am using to get my Muse back into gear, they usually only have minor edits done to them but they won't be re-written (unless I feel inspired to later on in life). Prompts are a good way to overcome writer's block, but if you come up with your own custom prompts it's even better. A single word could fuel an entire story.

:library: To be fair, my writing has dwindled a little bit over the past few months. I'm not writing nearly as much as I'd expect, but my Muse had packed up her bags to go on holiday. Charming :sarcasm:. But I get the feeling that she's returning shortly, so all's well. I suppose it's not the lack of inspiration, but the lack of motivation. It claims us all.
...
No, at the moment I've been reading a LOT. Many, many books to get through. It'll all help me grow as a writer, and it's also a good hobby to pass the time~

Anywho, enough of my banter. Catch you later!

To all my Canadian friends out there, have a great day! :flagcanada:


:library: I'm going to upload some more literature soon! (If you're faving my work, please leave a comment - preferably not flames or spam, be constructive - because any writer will tell you that they love feedback, if only a few words of positive reinforcement, and I'm no exception. :)

As for my groups, I'm hoping to return to folder maintenance in the near future (namely in write-to-live) so bear with me! Summer's a busy time and I'm not quite in the clear from the chaos of post-graduation yet.


Thanks to everyone who is still watching my account and commenting on my deviations :D. It's great to see pieces of work that I uploaded a while ago receiving friendly feedback! Yay!

Take care and see you around!

P.S. I apologise for any delays if you are waiting for requests etc. to be completed. Your patience is greatly appreciated and I will try not to keep you waiting too long if I can help it.

:sun: God I love this weather!

Enjoy the Summer weather, fellow Britons! We all know how rare this is!
And if the weather is crap wherever you watchers live, stay safe and wrap up :).

:relax:

P.S. I am still a busy bee, but I will be around occasionally!
