Checkpoint! - July 2017

Hello everyone!
As promised earlier in the year, I'd make an effort to keep in touch here.
So here's where I'm at as of right now:
1. Despite plans and ample practice, I was unable to meet my art goal for the past two months. While this is a bummer, I am on track to make up for lost time in August.
2. My refsheet is a work in progress. I've altered the plan to reflect a new goal of mine, which I'll detail later in the journal.
3. Journalling goals have partially been met, thanks to this. Will work on improving communication.
4. Requests have been partially stalled due to unforeseen workloads. Will attempt to compensate.
Other Updates
So, first things first, I want to open up on the personal front.
Since graduation, I've felt a bit lost as a person, and I really do feel like I'm just kind of wandering around a lot of the time, just barely functioning at full capacity. Work has been emotionally and psychologically draining, and that's on top of some of my more longstanding personal issues kind of coming to a head. What are those issues? Well, for one, my longstanding bout with depression, which once again seeks to mess up my day on a more present level. On top of that, attempts at becoming more body-positive, attempting to engage with the community as a more gender-neutral personality through changes to my fursona, and trying to approach my own sexuality, which is becoming much more fluid than my originally-rigid hetero stance and leaning more in the direction of bisexuality, in a more positive and healthy way. It's a struggle, but I'm maintaining, so don't worry. I'll let everyone know if something is going very wrong, or large-scale changes are in order. But as of right now, just assume that the ship is steady - albeit in some somewhat rocky waters.
And next, the new goal:
As I work on my refsheet, I've come to realize that one of my main strengths lie in character design. So, in order to capitalize on that, I'm going to attempt to create a series of strata of complexity and begin providing my services for character design here, in hopes of helping to bring other peoples' fursonas to life more easily. It's still a somewhat nebulous goal as of this time, but I'll be sure to make a proper announcement when I'm prepared to roll out my idea.
Okay, so I think that's it for now.
Please do keep in touch, friends, I miss ya!
Much love,
Red
