Man, I haven't typed a journal in over two months. Frankly, I just haven't had much to say! That said, I may as well say something to freshen up my user page.

As I wrote in my last journal, AnthroCon was a blast. I still dream about it now and then, and it pains me that I'm unlikely to ever make it to MFF while I'm a college instructor. Fall semester finals take place around MFF time, so I can't leave my students like that. I'll find a way someday! Perhaps a body double to teach in my place…

The rest of the summer was pretty uneventful after AC. I finished out the summer semester with a great pass rate in my developmental course and a terrible one in my 100-level course. I reached 600 watchers here on FA. My birthday came and went, and I appreciate the gift art and well wishes I received. My side job teaching SAT/ACT prep was (and still is) rather low on hours to give; classes I'm scheduled to teach keep getting canceled due to low enrollment. Luckily, I have a little bit of supplemental income beyond that, and I'm also considering taking short story commissions of 1000-1500 words on the cheap to bring in a few extra bucks here and there. I've been writing a bit here and there and checking with other furs to make sure my writing quality is up to snuff.

With the summer over, I still have things to occupy my time. I'm of course teaching fall semester college courses and they're going pretty well.  Marshtomphappy and  BlurTheFur talk to me all the time, of course. Blur has me watching the entirety of Bojack Horseman with him, which is pretty damned good. Marshy has tried to get me into various anime, and My Hero Academia is sitting well with both of us (although we're almost entirely through it). It's hard not to see parallels between it and  Bomba's Pathfinder campaign, which Marshy and I are both in and which has resumed after very little play time during the early summer. We now have  Quinn involved, which I'm sure will add a new dynamic to things, and all of the previous players are really pushing their character motivations beyond what I expected when the game first started, which is absolutely wonderful.

I think that's about all there is to catch up on! I've been in a commissioning mood lately, so art will probably be posted every few days. Once I get my confidence up, I may upload my writing samples as well.
