Rebuilding and coming home.

So, for those who've been watching from the beginning, in the long ago days of yore I wrote poetry and posted it here. And then my muse up and left, and moved to another dimension (or mebbe just another post code, who knows?). And then, feeling my interest in all things FA waning, I started posting select fractals from my deviantArt account, just to have a reason to still be around. And then I vanished. Over the last five years, I've posted a couple of journals that were absolutely the dying gasps of someone who had lost interest.
I can't promise this isn't just more of the same, but I really don't want it to be. Around Christmas of 2016 I came back briefly to post a handful of short, second-person backstories that I'd written for some Furcadia-playing friends (who happen to be altaholics). Based on the staggering degree of response to those stories, I'd say people have accepted my death and moved on; which I'm okay with. I really didn't handle leaving FA any better than I've ever handled losing interest in any other sanity preserving hobby.
This brings us to the now. May 21, 2017. I'm trying to come back. I might write poetry, mebbe, if I can dig up -or raise-from-the-dead- a muse. I might write short stories, or post fractals. Might. Maybe.
But what I'm focusing on right now is getting back into more traditional artwork. I'm relearning the sketch pencil and learning how to use a drawing tablet at the same time. Someday, I want to be a well rounded artist, so while I'm starting with my adorable (and evil) black furred, blue-eyed bunny Ledi, there will undoubtedly also be crows and terrain and whatever else I can think of to practice with.
To that end: If it's WIP and I plan to finish it, the WIP will go up in main submissions and then migrate to scraps as I work. I'll try to remember to keep a log in each submission of its parts. So, if something's a few months old and flagged WIP? I've probably forgotten it exists. Otherwise, I'll post finished stuff just like every other artist.
I changed my artist type to 'Digital Artist', because there's no option for writer/poet/traditional_artist/digital_artist.
For any newcomers, it's totally worth checking some of the old stuff. I'm told the poetry is quite good, if a little angsty, particularly for someone whose education stopped when they got their high school diploma.
