Back from EF 2019! And other news

General
Hey, friends. It's good to update you here. Here's what's happened since the last journal.
- Sasha and I started hosting a friend who needed a place to stay, stuck between US and EU. She also lived in Switzerland, so we have a lot to bond over. We also stayed a couple nights in Nantes with the generous Zelephas and husband Loic. I am resolved to study more French, too!
- We went to Eurofurence 25, and it was the best one yet. My German was horrible, but it was the best it's been, and that's neat! My favourite compliment was someone assuming I was Dutch, because my accent was excellent but my grammar was complete shit.
- The garden is growing. Currently, we have more spinach and kale than we can eat! And we're enjoying eggplant season now. Unlike FA, eggplant season in our garden is only a few months in the space between summer and autumn.
- I've continues to go new places with my art and my posts on Patreon. Some of those are public, so please do follow the Patreon for some nice freebies, and donate if you wanna help me do more work like that.
- We're running a sale on the website to raise money for a new PC build. (I've only ever owned laptops, you see.), full of art only seen before on Patreon and at conventions. This includes traditional art, where I keep experimenting with graphite.
- I have a new monkey fursona! His reception has been quite warm. If you're curious about his design, I hope you'll enjoy this free post on my Patreon offering all the details.
- We updated the schedule on the Twitch stream. I now stream no more than 32 hours a week, instead of the previous 50. Automatically seeing better returns. We'd love it if you hung out there and said hi!
- Sasha and I have dedicated to going to a coffee house once a week to get in at least several hours of writing. As more and more people have started commenting at cons that my writing means something to them, I guess I now count as a writer! I want to do at least one free post a month on the Patreon to not only encourage growth, but to force myself to get into writing all the nebulous shit swimming around in my head.
- Thanks to our convention sales, we paid off one big credit card, and switched this year to automatic payments on my university loans. We may be debt free in 2020.
- We will be Guests of Honor at Confuror, the furry con in Guadalajara, Mexico. But first, we're off to Gender Unbound and IlluXCon.
- I'm regularly doing barefoot walking to progress my minimalist shoe game and tweak my biology towards a new goal. You'll see an art piece + journal entry on that later.

That's all I can think of now! If you're checking up on me in this journal, thank you for caring. I hope it found you well.
Love,

Congratulations on all the good things that are happening to you! You really deserve it. And good job on the successful veggie garden! The earth is very willing to give, if we treat it right.
I hope you'll have a great late summer and that even more good things will come your way.
Congratulations on the many news!

Those are nice quotes! It feels a little different, approaching autibiographical and non fiction with them. The quotes seem to apply to anything If have wanted to work, but I don't know how I'd treat any single one as a prompt. Thank you for the invitation, though!

The prompt is at the bottom and is usually one word that is provided by a 'random word generator'.
As far as what you write - that's totally up to you...

Finally being able to clear out debts is a great experience. I hope these last ones come quickly and easily.
