Friends have been telling me I should put some things here that arent completely 'absolutely finished' yet. And, I guess that's ok. Things have been stressful and competing for my time *a lot*. But I don't want to stop; i just have my focus split all over the place, and i hope people understand. Stress has been over the top lately. Way over the top. I'm still going to try to be on MOST wednesday and saturday Picarto streams, but life may force me to miss some. I don't want that to happen, but i'm approaching burnout.

Each winter seems to be tougher than the last. But i'm starting to see the hint of more light and less 'death-themed cold'.

If someone tells you to relax, that things'll be ok, that things will be good in the future... That is exactly when NOT to let your guard down. Unless you're like, generally the kind of person stuff works out for. Then chill out everything will be fine.

Looks like i'm their latest target. Other people on FA have been hit by them.

Guess all I can do is put it out there that it's going on.

Lots of info about their behavior here, they've hit other people before: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#cid:56982882

So, I just want to make this clear:

There's a "Michi Lumin #5428" and a https://www.twitch.tv/michi_lumin/ - out there... Neither of these people are me. They are using my icons and images.

It seems there's nothing I can do about it but make people aware.

I have absolutely no clue whatsoever why someone would pretend to be me - complete with fursona and everything, but it's happening and, I have no clue whatsoever what their intention is, but Discord and Twitch certainly won't do anything about it.

I'm drawing every night now. (Sure occasionally i'll miss one but for the last month I've ben pretty good at it..) - Doesn't mean I'll finish one every night but the point is getting more of the bad stuff out of my system faster, by keeping at it every day.

Lets see if this works any better...

For years I've been talking about taking work on my drawing more seriously. Years ago, I stopped cold in 1999. I shouldn't have, and have since ended up doing "the everything thing" (thanks Zefrank) - wishing I had used the past 15 years to work on it.

Well in 2014, I did do more in that year than the 14 years before; and I'm going to try to really put effort into it in 2015. Can't promise anything, nor do I have any huge expectations. But I'm going to try to try.
