2020 In Review and 2021
5 years ago
Well, this is going to be a weird post: I'm not going to go *super* into detail about the awful, terrible, no good, very bad things that happened to everyone this year, but I did want to take a second and acknowledge some milestones and setbacks from this year and try to preview what my plans for next year are both personally and in terms of writing on here.
Well, let's start with 2020 and...while some great things happened to me, it feels like it's still overall a regressive and wasteful year, but I managed to accomplish
>getting a part-time job to start building some income
>getting an electric bike to get me around easier
>started posting stories here
>got my first ever commission (!!!)
>recieved a new character that I could call my "fursona" (don't see her like that but it's the best term) in the form of Elizabeth
And...yeah, that sums it up for me. But alongside those positives, I was also
>pretty depressed and nihilistic this year, probably overly so despite how grim things were
>had to cancel a second commission due to it involving an underage character that I was not aware of before I took it
>completely stopped uploading around...September (though this was due to a coworker leaving and me having to temporarily fill in for them while we waited 2 MONTHS for a new hire)
>got into a kind of close call bike accident that in retrospect was 100 percent preventable, but at least I'm not too hurt from it
And what am I planning for 2021? Well...
>ACTUALLY UPLOAD. My schedule is still chaotic due to current pandemic issues but once I get that settled, I have plenty of story ideas to go through, even if some of them are a bit...' just for me', I guess.
>possibly take up a second job like food delivery in between my part-time job to further boost my income
>try and post some of the art I've gotten up to here (there's plenty you all haven't seen!)
>try to be more positive and get over the hump that was this year
>maybe get a Patreon set up if things take-off faster than I think?
And...yeah, that's it. Nothing super substantial but just...some personal growth goals that I plan on trying at once the pandemic goes away (because 2021 does not start until that's gone.)
Thank you all for supporting me this year, it means the world to me that I could even build an audience for my writing. Here's to hoping next year is...actually good.
