You know that poem I put up a couple months ago? I also submitted it for Allasso volume 2. It was selected to be published a while ago and I painted an illustration to go with it. Apparently not only is it going to be published, but- I won best poetry submission! This means that not only have I managed to get something in print, I have managed to do so twice in an Ursa-major nominated magazine (and get my artwork published too!). Plus, this time I wasn't a weenie and my name's gonna be in print. 0_0 To say I'm excited is an understatement. I can't wait to get a copy of it in my grimy little paws.

In other news, I have a lot going on in the upcoming weeks. It's the end of the term for me and all my deadlines are coming at me like a freight train. I have 15 page paper due Wednesday that I haven't even started on other than some really lame research. There's a group project, a lesson plan, an interview with an aging relative with a subsequent report and presentation, and some kind of project for a psychology class. I'm job-hunting in-between the other madness, and working on a sewing project that I really should leave well enough alone but I can easily work on it when I would otherwise be wasting good crafting time.

All that said, commissions are closed until May 2nd, I'm having trouble just getting through the one I've had for at least a month, I don't think it would be fair to take any more on.

I don't want you guys to get the wrong idea though, things are going well. I'm just busy. When school lets up expect some mlp, a one-shot tf, and a really excellent watercolor commish. The arting is going slowly, but well. Once I get the arms placed exactly the way I want them things will quickly gain speed. (If you want, I can post a little preview of what I have so far, but it's pretty scribbly.)
