Car Crashed
a year ago
(For the context of my FA-only watchers I've been active a lot on Twitter)
Last Saturday night I got into hit and run car crash that totaled my car to the point of it being scrap. I won't go into the details for the sake of anyone who wouldn't want to hear about it but all in all with the state of the rolled car and some other factors I'm lucky to be alive at all. In the crash I did suffer a minor hand injury on my dominant hand that left me unable to draw, but with how stressed I've been since the accident the wound healed enough by the time I was in the headspace to draw again. Physically I'm fine now other than that wound that'll likely leave a scar, but with the state of needin a new car and how I'll have to deal with the insurance company I'm gonna be generally tighter on cash for a while which means soon I'll likely be switchin to workin full time. This is honestly the thing that makes me the most upset about the situation. Goin full time means less time for art, when this is what I care about more than almost anythin. I think I've said it before but, even if some people find it ridiculous, makin this kind of art really is my passion, and gettin to have people enjoy the work I make has been what I've wanted to do all my life. This isn't to say that I quit or that I'll be stoppin just that things might slow down. I don't ever want to stop bein able to draw for people so I'm sure I'll end up workin around it somehow but in that period of transitionin I'm not sure how active with it I'll be. For now I'm still workin part-time and I plan to get back up to speed by next week, but by next month I'm honestly not sure how things are gonna look. Like I said eventually everythin will probably return to some state of normalcy due to my own drive to keep drawin, I'm just not sure when we'll be stable in that.

I hope things get better for you, genuinely.
I can only hope to see a semi to perfect recovery from this, hopefully things will smooth out financially!
