Updates, Anthro SouthEast 2019, FWA 2020
6 years ago
SO! I know it has been a while since I updated on FA, last thing posted here was about FWA precon Impdoptions. Ended up only having three, but it was totally fun dropping little ones off to their new Impdopters and forever homes.
Not much has been going on with me besides doing conprep for Anthro SouthEast (I'll be in the den this year!). Pretty much I started Conprep on June 1st after taking the rest of May off to recoop from FWA, and JUST finished the last Wixling I needed for conprep TODAY; so it took 2 1/2 months to work my way through all of the Imps, Implings, Implets, MerImps, MerImplings, Wixling, and Wix I need for my booth.
Needless to say I'm feeling burnout right now, and I'm only half-way through what I need to make for ASE x_x . I'll be taking the next two days off before I jump back into the next portion of conprep on Wednesday starting with Charks. I'm seriously hoping I finish up all of my conprep by next month so I can have a nice little break, but I have until Mid-October to get everything done if I find I need to take things a little slower (going to try not to, but I have some breathing space should I need it).
I will say that with how I'm feeling right now, I won't be applying to deal at FWA for next year (or any cons really for 2020). The main reason for this is that coming from a health standpoint, I just can't keep going at the pace I have been trying to the last few months. I suffer from Chronic health issues that only have been getting worse as each year progresses, and pushing myself to try and keep on a tight schedule with minimal down time and days where I am simply resting and not burning all of my spoons to try and 'make' something on the daily to keep up with everthing on my TODO list. Pretty much I am at my breaking point and I really, really, REALLY need a long break after ASE conprep is said and done.
It sucks that I was really excited for the Enchanted Forest theme for FWA next year since it really does fit perfectly with what I make, but my health comes first. I'm still going to be attending FWA next year because I truly do enjoy the con (FWA 2008 was my first furcon ever, and I consider it my homecon since it is only like 2 hours away), but I will only be there as an attendee and not trying to peddle my Imply wears in the den. BTW, Precon Impdoptions will be a thing again though if anyone wants to have a little cutie hand delivered to you!
As far as what next year holds, I'm going to use it as a stock building year, Impdopt online through my site impistry.com , and try to take things a slower pace so that I can go into 2021 without having to mad dash to get a full table setup done and stocked in only a few months time (so yes, I DO plan on applying for the FWA 2021 DD in the hopes I can make it through the juried process and end up with a table again in the den).
One last side note: Pele will be handing out candy eggs next year at FWA, I just need to come up with a new costume for her to wear while handing them out. Also I have a few things waiting in the wings to be started once ASE is over, so be prepared for some fun stuff planned for next year's FWA :D (I'm making the most of taking a step back from dealing at cons to work on fun personal projects)
