First of all, I hope you had a joyful holiday season, and I sincerely wish you an excellent 2024.

Despite my initial intention to retire as I felt mentally burnt out, I've decided not to do so for now since chaotic things are happening in my life. It's not anything serious, but it's exhausting.

I hope this isn't an inconvenience for anyone, as I've thought about it a bit, and this site is an emotional refuge for me despite feeling like I have a lot to learn as an artist. Once again, I appreciate all the people who took the time to wish me well; I truly didn't think so many people would do.

It's interesting to communicate so much through journals when I didn't used to give them much importance before. I've discovered that it's quite a useful tool for... well, saying things (duh). So, I'd like to share my plans for this year with you:

Now that I have a new job and art won't be my main source of income, I won't be able to dedicate as much time to it as before. However, since I've found ways to streamline my process and take less time, I'll be able to update periodically. My plans include creating 2 or 3 adoptables and publishing them all once a week, and since it takes less time now, I can offer more reasonable prices than before.

Also, I'd like to invest in some advertising to keep my account consistently active and reach more people. If you're reading this and have experience with advertising, I'd like to hear about your experience and if it's something you recommend.

Having said that, I hope to continue counting on your support. The holidays have been beneficial, so now I feel more motivated than before.
