GDQ, Projects, Replies, How do I slow down??
2 years ago
A busy birdy as ever (still a hamster too~!)
GDQ (Games Done Quick - the speedrunning marathon) starts again this week. nvn But, since Twitch doesn't let us host anymore, last time a group of friends and I just watched it together with Discord and that worked out best. ovo So, even if it's a bit less public now, it's still a really fun event, and here a month early too. In the middle of Zelda month? Gosh... er, the month's nearly over already?? @v@; Well, I'll be doing both!

Art Projects:
Speaking of Zelda, I have so many art ideas I want to draw from the new game! But gosh, I'm realizing how slow I am with art, and how busy I usually am too... I could spend all evening drawing Zelda stuff, or playing it... hopefully in the next month or two I'll draw out everything I wish from it. nvn
I still have one big commission coming out soon I'll be posting! (Uh oh, it has an Eeevee in it...) I've been working on it since... February? After that I definitely need a little break as I figure out how to manage time better... I have so many projects I haven't gotten to... even a lot of stories I've written but haven't posted! I meant to take off May to just focus on Zelda but I'm still not caught up on everything... so maybe next month I'll actually take a break?
I hope to post story continuations of things I said I was going to!
I never quite finished posting things like Boxer Beats or Animal Fantasy Friends either... but I plan to post and finish everything that I start~!

Comments / Replies! I also want to make more time to reply to everyone's comments. óvò I used to be a lot better at it... I love replying to folks and chatting about each piece. nvn I'm much more likely to comment someone's art when I know they'll reply to it too. I never thought I'd be one of those people who are too busy to write back... but gosh, why make and share art if you don't take the time to enjoy the feedback? ovo I read just about every comment, but I want to make time to properly thanks and chitchat in the replies with everyone. nvn

I haven't written a journal this long in years, oops, sorry!
The overall theme seems to be How do I slow down??
There's always so much I want to do, but I only have a few hours each evening, and a busy/distracting social life. nvn; Making time for friends, games, art, writing, commissions... not to mention a lot of IRL things I'm not giving myself enough time for, is rather difficult. óvò
I know I'm always making art, posting things, writing, etc. and still asking myself why I'm not getting more things done, but, I do feel like I need to find a way to slow down or be more responsible with my time. nvn I'm going to try and figure that out. So, if anybirdy read this far and has advice, I still have my big hamster ears listening! ;3
