Si yeah, this one is a few days overdue, but I'm back at work now and that's left me with less time once again. Still, I AM feeling better than I was during my last journal, which is a big plus! I also wanted to take the time and wish everyone a Happy New Year, and that 2022 turns out better than 2021 did for a lot of people. Not gonna lie, it wasn't AS bad for me as it was for most people, at least not until the tail end of it. However, overall the year could have been worse, and I am VERY happy that it resulted in me coming out of my shell and getting to put my work out there to positive results, as well as getting to make several new friends on here.

But now that the new year's rolled in, it's time to start looking ahead and thinking about what I want to work towards. And there are certainly a few things I have in mind for resolutions:

*Start writing more original stories based off my own ideas, plus a few commissioned pics I have waiting in the wings
*Open up for commissions a few more times this year, since I've had some decent success in that area
*Work on getting reference sheets made for several other OCs I've had in mind for a while, including introducing a pokesona for myself
*Look into more writing more 'serious' stories, though that's probably going to be kept separate from this account
*Work towards FINALLY getting myself a drivers license and a car so I can waste less time commuting to and from work
*Find myself a new, better job that's closer to home (or potentially working from home)
*As long as things are in decent enough shape for it, I'm also hoping to attending my first Furry Con this year!

While I can honestly say I don't expect to fulfill all of these this year, I am hoping to at least to fulfill SOME, particularly ones that will help free up more time for my more creative goals. Though it's mostly going to be a wait and see thing for the time being, I'm trying to have a little hope for the coming year in my personal life.
