Story writing, donations, traveling, etc.
Posted 13 years agoAlright...I'm making a significant journal, just for everyone to read! I finally decided it's time to make a more complete journal posting on here, so that everyone knows what's going on with me.
Firstly, I'm working on a story. In fact, more like an entire story universe. Yes. This is going to take up a lot of free time, but not as much as most things would, because I'm just making it up as I go along. I have a working title, but I want to make a better one because "Novex" doesn't sound that exciting of one. The theme is pretty much like Star Trek, but it's still very much its own thing. It just borrows a lot of thoughts from Star Trek (but I assure you, it isn't exactly that much alike).
I'll be posting a sample of it sometime in the next month for critique. I'm putting together a wiki so that I can recall some things on the fly, plus provide information and terminology for everyone. I haven't gotten that far just yet, but I will soon.
__________
Now, secondly...I've been accepting donations for my traveling around the US. Please keep in mind that this is going to take a lot of effort, because I'm traveling around for a whole year. Also, I won't be able to work during this time, and I also can't attend college either (I'm horrible with online classes and I can't travel if I'm stuck at a school). So, I need funding to actually make up for any possible income I could have had, and also to offset the loans I have to start paying in January.
I have a donate button on my blog, and I'm also going to be working on a wiki for my group. It's not just me traveling, so we should be able to split costs, but seeing as I'm just that poor (my family makes a combined amount of less than $20,000 per year), I have no choice but to reach out to the community for help. I will be posting everything I do during my travels, take many pictures, record videos, and provide knowledge of what I'm learning. I'm doing this for spiritual reasons primarily, but also to try and help those I happen to come across. Plus, if I get to see any furries around, that would be nice too.
Blog: http://decipheringtruth.blogspot.com/ Wiki: http://decipheringtruth.wikia.com/wiki/Home
The blog is just me posting about my efforts and will be transferred over to the wiki once I have the basic things for it complete. I'm still working on one particular article, but once I'm done with that, I can start transferring things over.
__________
I'm still not so social on here...I never really could use this site much. Hell, I have so much I need to favorite still. I have over a thousand pics to sort through (closer to 1500). I just don't really talk much anymore...I used to talk a lot, but now I just never feel like talking. Maybe I've finally reached the point of insanity and I'm trying to ensure others don't get hurt by it...but I don't really know. Oh well...I do hope everyone is doing well though. I'm ok, just...lacking socially, heh.
EDIT: I just cleared my inbox by faving a LOT of images. If you got a ton of faves from me, that's why.
I suppose that's all I have for now. Take care, everyone!

Blog
Posted 13 years agoSo, I dunno if anyone knows this yet...but I have a blog now. Feel free to check out http://decipheringtruth.blogspot.com/
Some of the things I post there may seem a bit insane, but what I'm trying to do is travel the US. The issue with that is, I don't have much in the way of money, so I'm trying to find ways of affording it. One such way is to post what I do and show everyone this is a legit thing. This will ensure that others will feel more confident in knowing that I'm actually using the money in the ways I say I am.
Another way is through the ads I'm running on the site in order to generate some sort of revenue. This hasn't been going well so far, but..time will tell.
I've been accepting donations as well, though I don't have any actual buttons to do that yet. Right now I'm just trying to establish places I can go, and possible places I can stay while I'm in certain spots. I plan on staying somewhere in New York for the first month of my trip, but a place hasn't been set in stone yet. I may get an apartment temporarily, since it'll just be a month, and go from there.
If anyone is interested in keeping track, just keep a lookout on my blog. Or follow my Twitter, my username on there is Wasdramer. You can get information by finding me on Google+ as well, just look for Raiok Incaris.
I hope everyone is doing well...take care!

My silence...
Posted 13 years agoI haven't been talking to much of anyone online lately. Please don't take it personally...I get like this sometimes, and I'm not sure why. I don't always talk, and it's not even something I intend..it just happens. I'm sorry...I just haven't felt like talking. Anyone that has wanted to get in touch with me, I'll be around, but just leave me a message and I'll get around to it eventually. I'm sorry I didn't warn you first, it's just not something I know will happen until it happens @.=.@
I love you guys...take care, ok?

Indianapolis
Posted 13 years agoI'm currently in Indianapolis, and will be there until this Thursday, and then I'll be in some unheard of southern town in Indiana (Lyons). If you're interested in talking to me in person in either location, let me know.
Have fun everyone! ^.=.^

Faves/Watch Policy
Posted 13 years agoOh don't worry, I'm not doing this for any specific reason, I just felt like saying this.
Now...when it comes to faving something, it usually means I like it. Sometimes sexually, sometimes just because it looks nice. I tend to make it into gigantic "faving sprees" since I can't fave everything just as soon as it pops up, so I usually wait a few days (sometimes less) and then spam-fave ;3
Now, as far as watches...that's a bit different. Usually, a watch is given if I like your art and wish to see more. Also a watch is given if I feel we can be friends. I try to be friends as well, but that's not always feasible with me, since I tend to get so busy it seems like I've dropped off the face of the planet. I assure you, however, I am still alive...I just have school that has to be focused on, that's all ;3
Oh, to those wondering, I'm getting a commission done, but I won't announce who is making it to the public until they post it completed (which won't be for a bit, they're making it as a full and complete ref sheet).
Anyway, that's my mini-update for the next couple weeks. Have fun!

Alright...
Posted 13 years agoYou know what sucks, guys? I have not changed much of anything since my "character" was made almost four years ago. I say it that way because I believe my character is really as I am on the inside. But that's not what is saddening. What truly is sad is that I've NEVER had a ref of any kind. The most I have is a written ref I created.
The problem is, the pics others have made for me, lack consistency. They never had much to go on, because it took me about a year just to make the written ref (that was last year by the way). But I really need some sort of ref. I don't think anyone really wants to make anything for me unless I have a ref. Which is very shallow, as I feel I shouldn't have to pay for something just to get things that are free. I just prefer to get things as gifts from those that legitimately care...and make the occasional request when others are offering. I'm weird like that.
But yeah...Just felt I had to get that out there. I know some people make money by drawing, and I don't have any issue with that at all. In fact, I think that's great! If you can make money doing something you love, more power to you. I just wish I had a little something to help people see how I see myself, in its exact form...which is difficult for me to draw since I am not that artsy. Most I can do is write...that's my main talent when it comes to the arts. But still...heh.
Take care guys.

Posted 14 years agoThis is random, but...
Posted 14 years agoI'm curious. Ever since I started college (over three and a half years ago) I kinda drifted to and from the furry fandom. What pulled me towards it was an obvious interest in different depictions of others, and I loved that. What repelled me from it was the constant drama (it actually makes me physically and mentally sick). I even had to leave a lot of my old friends behind because the physical sickness was just too much from so many old memories that I couldn't handle it any longer.
So, I decided on a somewhat fresh start. I needed something else to fly under. I really identify myself as Otherkin, meaning I believe mentally I am actually a dragon. My fursona is actually a close representation of what I saw in my first meditation, as I looked in a mirror. So, of course, to have a new start, would be to leave my old fursona behind...but of course, that's a bit impossible for me, since my fursona and my true form within are one. So, that's why I simply made a new profile. Not that I used this site too much originally anyway, I didn't have much of anything posted.
At any rate, I do wish to say that I'm trying to re-establish myself in a different light. I was so far into the drama that I had to take over a year away from a lot of things. Hell, I didn't even talk to that many people unless they were in person. I'm a bit better, but I still have some problems sometimes, so if I don't talk for a long time, don't take it personal, it's just me trying to adjust to things.
I do like to talk to people though...it's just sometimes hard for me to open up, plus with college things get hectic. I keep ultimately jumping from group to group, sometimes afraid of sticking with just one, and maybe bringing a few together. The path I walk seems to be more solitary, even from those that truly care. But this is all I know. I simply keep going, never staying with one group for too long...possibly in fear of getting hurt again. I know this isn't something that people want to see, but I can't just keep covering it up. I have to simply get it out there. I can stay calm sometimes, but it doesn't always last...so I have to be careful, otherwise I could become my own worst enemy.
To those that don't care, simply ignore this. To those that don't understand but want to, message me. To those that understand what I mean and can help, please message me...I am not suicidal, there's no need to worry about that...but I have been in so much pain because of this, and I need healing. It's not easy for me to say all of this, but I just needed to put it somewhere.

Hi!
Posted 14 years agoI'm new, but I'm probably not going to be here much. If you wish to get in touch with me, just look for me on Facebook. The link is on my main profile page.
