Life Update! *Please Read*

Good lord... Has it really been seven months since my last update!? O_o
To say I've been neglectful of this account is a vast understatement. And a LOT has happened since the last time I dropped by.
The job I had at the BBQ place... gone. I got screwed by management and instead of having the decency of saying "You're not working out for us" and giving me an opportunity to turn in a 2 weeks notice they changed the schedule one me, failed to notify me. (Not even an attempt to call me) And then say I neglected to show up to work... Well that was a long while back, then I worked at a Pizza Place for a while, had to quit there due to unethical management. But on the bright side I have an AWESOME job I started this past September! I am officially a Camera Man at the local news station!! WOOT!! XD
The past few months have been rough. trying to save money, help pay bills, ect... I'm also attending Online Collage for a degree in English. So between work, school, and possibly even a second job on top of it all I have barely have time or motivation for any art or model building. Well sort of... it's mostly a lack of motivation really, if I had to be honest. ^^'
I do have a fairly big-small project I'm working on. I'm building a mini model railroad layout in HOn30 scale! No, I haven't changed scales or gauges... so to speak, but I've been really wanted a model railroad and HOn30 is perfect since I don't have a lot of space. The layout I'm building is 18 inches wide by 5 feet long. So it's pretty narrow. It will be a while before I start to actually work on on, but I am working on a diorama to practice my layout building/scenery techniques. I'll be posting photos eventually and I can post a second journal that goes into more detail about the project(s) if there's enough interest from you watchers! XD
But anyway, I have worked on the comic... a LITTLE BIT... and I do mean a little. I have a new cover page in the works and Page 1 is ALMOST finished! It's something I've really been dragging my but with and I'm ashamed of it. I really want to at least get a chapter done before I'm 30! >_<
And the comic falls under the category of "More Furry Art". I've actually gotten rusty from not having drawn anything substantial for so long. Almost makes me want to just stick my head in a hole in a wall somewhere for a few hours in shame... ^^'
Anyway, I know I've said it before and my track record is deplorable with this 'promise', but I do want to become more active here on FA again. Hopefully one day I'll make good on that! But for now, thanks for stickin' with me this long. Words can't describe how much I appreciate it! Thanks for watching and hopefully some cool stuff will happen in the near future!

Yeah, I missed being around here to. I've been out of touch of the fandom for a bit too and I want to reconnect a bit. And maybe I'll get a little more motivation for doing more art.

Well at least you've been busy. Know some people who go long periods without updating because they fall into depression and crawl into a hole for months on end.

Yes indeed. And I have to confess I've been there before with depression to, but even then i try to post a notice. But i have had a lot go on in the past few months so hopefully soon I'll be posting some new stuff on here.

Sorry to hear about the rough times, but if you got a good job that you like out of it, than it will have been worth it. Congratulations.

Yeah, this job is really awesome! One of the best I've had I have to admit. Though on a different note I hope to post some more artwork and stuff soon.

That will be awesome...I love seeing your locomotive photos. Do you make locos on commission ? If so I need to note you with an idea I have had for 20 years.
