Serious Stuff
As mentioned in the MFF journal, I had a bit of an issue with my anxiety and a cold. I also mentioned in September that some stuff came up in August that messed with my flow - turns out they all were connected all along. Right before Christmas, I ended up straining my back which caused all the anxiety I had built up to really go full throttle - I ended up spending an extremely relaxing break trying to come from "verge of tears scared and in pain" to "not relaxed". It sucked.
I did see a doctor recently, and will be locating a therapist for going forward. I'm going to be focusing on taking care of myself this year as a resolution, but that doesn't mean I will be stopping art work. Heck, I want to try and actually get a comic project done before the end of the year!
That does mean one thing though:
Requests Closed
I am not taking any more requests for the time being. I am trying to clean up the outstanding ones first - unless I approach you about a project, I am taking no more for now. I would like to open up again, but for now I don't need that list to get any longer.
I genuinely enjoy doing requests for people, and I have fun with every one I do! However, I do need to prioritize the outstanding work before I take any more on.
Socializing
As an additional note about this, my social media use has turned bit more inward and lurker-ish. It happens when I'm busy and stressed, but I don't like it! I'm working on cleaning out my FA notifications, faving works (I'd like to leave comments when I can!), and generally archiving stuff from Twitter.
I may not respond right away or reach out, but I do appreciate everyone that has tried to reach out and chat with my introverted ass over the year. It's been a wonderful experience, and I do hope we can continue into the new year.
Take care, Everyone!
