Well the worst of what i fear came to pass. My laptop after downloading a current Windows 10 update has all but crashed it. Whats worse is I tried to factory reset it but for some reason the laptop's latest updates do not allow a factory reset for some reason. Thankfully I was able to save my most important data like commission info, all my tablet drawings and my writing ideas for now on some usb drives i keep around just in case.

What does this mean for now?

Well for now until I can replace the laptop or get it fixed I will have to put current commissions on hold until I can find away to drawing using alternative means.

For now my mom is letting me borrow her Chrome Notebook which is a little limited compared to my laptop but it allows me to browse as usual. I'll try and see if i can find a way to get my art programs and tablet to work on it another day but for now my primary source of income and rent has now been delayed and i am worried.

My hope is that I will recieve a stimulus check in order to buy a new laptop and give my business a new fresh coat of paint in the form of a new laptop, art tablet and possibly a new more advanced art program i was using before.

I apologize to everyone i owe a commission to and I will try to solve the problem soner then later and get back to you. I will be contacting people later to jot down their info on what i still need to finish when i have the means to draw again.

Until then I imagine my only means of income will be writing commission again. As they are my only means at this time. I appreciate those who have been my long time and short term clients, and I hope to get back to drawing soon once i figure out my options in case I can't repair my older laptop or I don't recieve a stimulus check.

Thank you for taking the time to read my journal and have a great day!
