So this is Christmas, and what have I have done?
Really really hate this song. And for some reason this Christmas is very very bleak and dark. I don't like it. But since Christmas Eve is here, we're at the annual reset day where all my FA stats get reset.
And in retrospective, this wasn't an awesome year:
* I had a mental snap sometime around April that really prevented me to do anything, whether it be creative or not. It took me a long time to get out of that snit. In fact, in many ways I haven't even gotten out of it at all.
* Laid off at the end of the year is not super awesome even with good severance.
But ...
I have created my own company and all the paperwork is filed. It's time to take my creativity seriously. I'm planning to keep my scope simple and easy, but ... we'll see what happens. I just have a few other little things to work on, even though ... honestly, Paypal and Square are being real jerks as far as merchant accounting. I may have to find alternatives. But the doors of Kobold Forge Studio open on January 1, 2024. I'll have my etsy and website up by then. Or close to then.
Expect lots of Sci-Fi stuff, kobolds, and D&D stuff.
I've been playing a lot of D&D during my downtime or my undertime. For the better. Tikke is a better fit for me.
Going into 2024, looking for new work, starting some new endevours, and trying some new things ... I'll be honest, I'm terrified, but I don't have much choice. I even have some hard decisions and choices to make and fairly soon that I don't like.
But let's save that for January 2024.
Anyway, time for the 2023 stats:
2022: 84552PV 510C 1888F 106W 46SUB
2023: 90044PV 5818S 69W 398C 1317F 589J 35SUB
I don't think that I'm gonna do the analysis this year. It's just down. Numerically all down. But that's what I get for reducing output.
But it doesn't mean that I don't appreciate every bit of it. Every page view, every Comments, each favorite, all the watchers. It's all great.
But, it's also up. I thank you, all 69 new watchers and all the watchers that have been viewing me for some time. Including putting up with me trying out and doing some new, different things.
I thank you all that made comments about my stuff and even engaged in RP with me in regards to some of the creative works. I'm glad that I have made things that people feel they can chat about. :)
Thank you all for the favorites that you have given my stuffs.
Thank you for watching me for those that do. I know that my switching of content may be disheartening and some of my new things may not be what you're looking for (and, I also embarassingly haven't worked on How Not To Be Seen for a _year_, what a slacker).
Well, with all of this coming along, I'm not giving up drawing and I intend to increase it this year. I got some time.
I invite you all, one way or another, to come along for the ride in 2024.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
