Hello folks!

I don't know if anyone is going to see or read this journal, but to whomever this may concern, I apologize for my absence here on FA (other than me hopping on to fave things).

I know my previous Journal entry was about me declaring my return after such a long absence... only for it to turn into another long absence.
My reasoning being that I was just too caught up with being a full-time cartoonist now. I am still working very hard and improving my craft.
The unfortunate side to this is, I sadly haven't had the time and energy to devote specifically to FA or the Furry Community in general. As much as I would love to do every single thing my heart desires, my time as a cartoonist takes top priority. And a good chunk of the comics I draw aren't all furry-related (though plenty are!)

While I do have a ton of new furry-related art I could share on here... FA, as I'm sure most are already aware of, is going through some changes. Changes which may make it tricky for a Charmander like me on here. I don't want to risk just being an "easy target." As a result, I just don't feel like it's worth the hassle to really dump all my art here on FA. In fact, I actually had to delete about 17 different submissions on here shortly before typing up this Journal entry (all NSFW pics).

I do not know where I will go next in my Furry journey. My FA account will of course stick around. But I don't see any real future for it on here. Plenty of folks I already follow have prepared for a big move as well. Maybe I will try out Weasyl?
It will not be Twitter though. I left Twitter a few months back (my account is still there though), for the sake of my mental health.

In regards to more positive news, I did get to go to my first Furry Convention! "Anthro New England 2023!" And it was a blast! Definitely one of my best convention experiences ever! The people there were so nice! Everyone just wanted to hang out and have fun and get to know each other! I miss it so much and can't wait to go back next year!

I do feel a little bad that I haven't been able to fully devote more time to just being a furry with other fellow furs in this community.
And while I haven't really been posting any furry art on here, I do feel my art has tremendously improved to the point where I feel a lot more confident, and genuinely enjoy the craft of drawing more! It's been a long uphill battle full of mental brain bugs. But I am personally very proud of how far I have come and where I currently am now. And I will keep on continuing to live the awesome life as a cartoonist!
No matter what happens in life, being a Furry is forever a major part of who I am. And I hope I can continue to live that life to the fullest, with other wonderful furs too!
