(Mini) Situation Update 2

General
Nothing has really changed. Still staying with friends, still looking for a new home out-of-state. I've started considering two more states when, originally, I was only looking at one. The friends me and my fiancee are staying with have given me some leads to look into, but that's going to be a slow process. It's better than what I had before, though, so I'll be working on that over the next couple weeks.
I just went through three days of intense depression over this, but I'm starting to come out of it and think with more clarity. I'm... feeling a little better, but also kind of not? It's like part of me is still pretty firmly depressed, but another part of me is tired of this garbage and wants to try and get back to normal, so I'm going to be attempting to nurture that side. AKA, time to try and get back into that art groove-- and also get back my writing groove that's been largely absent for a... long time. Writing is supposed to be the most important thing to me, so... probably should actually try and act like it again. This will probably also be a slow process. Right now, with how low I got in my mental illness, I'm going to be happy with any level of progress. I'm not going to aim for my usual 2,000+ words a day or finishing a full piece of art when I sit down and draw, I'm just going to aim for "do some writing and/or do some art" everyday. After like two months of no art and over a YEAR of almost no solo/non-RP/non-MMO writing, any progress is good progress to me.
So yeah, that's that. Feeling a little better emotionally, still in the same place physically.
My priority on the art front is going to be the commissions/trades/collabs I owe, of course. I can't thank you all enough for your patience regarding those. I might try and also get some new Sulphur Imps out there, as coloring them is pretty relaxing. We'll see. Like I said, right now all progress is good progress to me.

On a side note, what's MMO writing?
That's just my catch-all term for writing ficlets/short stories, fanlore, etc. for MMOs I play (which in this case, right now, is exclusively FFXIV.) Basically means I've done some solo writing in the year, but it's all been for FFXIV stuff.
