Ugh, finally getting back on a schedule, finally coming out of an unpredictable bit of touch and go. WORKING SO MUCH now and it feels good again. I'm glad. I hate when art becomes a chore, or when I'm much too muddled to focus on things. The results are never good. I'm back to sketching and polished owed work for all y'all fab bros, and pinups portfolio pieces I've owed to myself.
I have a ~~Second Interview~~ today which i hope will lead me to a steady job. I've realized I need some semblance of routine order in my life that is slightly beyond my control. When left to my own devices entirely, I overwhelm myself. Having to work around pre-determined guidelines actually makes me more productive, I'm kinda glad I've had the chance to try out a freelance lifestyle without too much pressure, because now I know I'd never want to gun for it completely. I love to freelance, but not as a ~~full time job~~. It's too unpredictable, and can easily build up into a rather intimidating mass very quickly.
Hopefully being a teacher will strike a very good balance between working for myself and working a job with and for others. It certainly keeps a good level of motivation flowing! Until then, I'll do what I have to. You guys are awesome, too. Amidst freelance work, I always have fun with this community :> It's a big part of why I like doing what I do.
In all, look for a lot more posts from me again soon. Glad to be coming out of a kinda lame creative rut. I should be less touch and go again. I'm also so glad summer's finally over. I don't know what it is, but fall always perks me up.

Good luck with your interview.
I only like that summer is over because of how humid it is. I like fall because you have your reasonably warm days, and your "cold-but-not-as-cold-as-winter" days. I hate the cold--snow is pretty, but cold.
also yes thank god summer is gone. For some odd reason, the gloomyness and windy/raining weather of fall is real calming :o
