YEAR 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
The following are just some of the milestones that were reached over the course of this past year
1: Began writing Creative Campaign 2[/i]
Inspired by all the fun that was had in writing the first Creative Campaign, I eagerly began what was to be a “slightly” longer sequel. Needless to say, this story has grown quite a bit and is still a strong passion for me to write to this day. If you haven’t taken part in this amazing epic featuring numerous friends from all over the fandom and beyond, I encourage you to follow the link below and take part in the magic that is Creative Campaign 2[/i].

2: The original Creative Campaign[/i] becomes available through self-publication
Nishi not only was a super friend for allowing me to use his characters to create this story, but he then takes his kindness and generosity to the next level by surprising me by making it available, at cost, for anyone who might want to take part in the adventure outside of the virtual domain.
This publication is especially important for two shining reasons. The first is that Nishi took the time to not only re-organize it for print, but also created a collection of one-of-a-kind artwork that can only[/i] be found in this version of the tale. The second is that, in the original print, it contained a special conclusion that reminded me of how truly important just writing to write really was. It was after reading this that I largely felt less concerned about sharing my own, original works as, honestly, it isn’t about ever becoming a famous author one day. Rather, it’s about sharing good times with good people. Thanks, Nishi.
If you’re interested in owning a copy of this friend and fun-filled adventure, I encourage you to follow the link below. Again, neither Nishi, nor I, profit from any of the sales. It’s just there for those who want to enjoy the wonder of the tale without being tethered to a computer.

3: The Haposaurs get their first ever children’s picture book with Welcome to Saurral Manor: Stream Stress[/i]
Before this awesome achievement, the hapos had largely been experienced through my writing and what drawing ability I could muster for them. However, again thanks to Nishi, I finally got to put them into the medium they rightfully belonged by combining my words with Nishi’s one-of-a-kind, visionary, artistic talents.
Before this work, I had tried two other times to get the hapos noticed by Literary Agents. Sadly, none were interested in them enough to take their tales before any major publisher.
Despite not making it mainstream, the hapos are looking to, like Further Realms[/i], have a future through self-publication. This way, if anyone wants to enjoy the wonderful world in which I’ve been a part of for over a decade, they can pick up a copy of Stream Stress[/i], or any future tale, and enjoy it either alone, with a friend, or with their children.

4: A sense of self-worth
Not only did I get re-employed back in June as a Business Analyst for a great company, but I managed to achieve a milestone I’ve been striving to attain for a long-long time. This one being coming to terms with the diapered, dino ducky I truly am at heart.
Interested in the details? There are two great pictures and stories I assembled that portray the whole thing.

Wow, super congratulations on all that stuff! You've done a lot of great things over that time, developing your haposaurs and your Creative Campaign and getting a job and even producing actual publications. And then I'm glad that those really important things came into place, coming to terms with who you are and having lots of fun too! And thanks for assembling all those cute piccies of Yosh into such a neat montage! It's cool to see all the different folks who've created stuff with you in 'em! :D Anyway, here's to all the great years ahead for such a friendly and fun yoshi ducky too! :)
*Flutters* Gabby-Gabby-Gaboo! *Hugs his foxy friend* I should also add what a pleasure it is to have met such an awesome commenter over this past year as well. *Nudge nudge* Sharing remarks and thoughts with you and Nishi is too much fun. You also do some rather cute artwork that is fun to partake in as well.
I enjoy doing these collages so that everyone who has been so kind to me can see just how awesome they all really are. Yosh-E-O wouldn't be the lovable, dino ducky he is without all their wonderful inputs to make him the fluffy-bottomed, cute quacker that he is today. And, as Laura would say in Hamtaro[/i], "Tomorrow is going to be even better!" :)

Couldn't leave you out. Nope, nope, nope. It was fun doing the interview with you and it was also kind of you to create such an original story with Yosh-E-O in it.
As for all the art, I'm just honored people would take the time to put their talents to work at making their versions of lovable, Yosh E. O'Ducky. As I noted to Bosky, Yosh-E-O just wouldn't be Yosh-E-O without everyone around to make him who is today. Nope, nope, nope!

Hmm. Well, CC2 is still in the works (I'm actually hoping to write Episode 51 this weekend) However, when it's done, I hope to work with Nishi to see what we can do about getting the complete saga available in paperback so everyone can have a tangible reminder of all the fun, friendly times we shared. :)
Again, I can't help but thank you immensely for making Yosh-E-O the way you did. You were the first[/i] to draw him and, since then, your design has inspired everything you see here. Not only that, Nishi and I likely never would've met if it wasn't for you being my first hamster friend. You are indeed a catalyst of many an amazing thing, Ham-Ham. Thus, I hope I do you justice through the writing of the Creative Campaigns[/i].

No, thank you for being so kind as to share with me your depiction of Yosh-E-O. *Hugs back*
Being able to share your talented view of the lovable dino ducky was a pleasure. I hope others will enjoy it, too, and take the time to visit the link provided to give you a comment, or three, and, in doing so, discover themselves a fun, artist friend. :)

Indeed. I particularly like that cute one where he's in the red PJs roasting a marshmallow with some friends. I wonder who drew that one? ;)
As always, it's great to share fun and times with great friends like yourself, Tacki. Here's to yet another year filled with Gabby Gabby Gaboo!

That was a fun pic. I was rather pleased with how all the characters came out in general. I really do like large group pictures.. they just happen to be time consuming and require a lot more effort than usual but compared to just single or dual character pictures, they're a lot more interesting.
I agree. With Creative Campaign 2[/i], I could've had the story done a long, long time ago. However, with all the good friends I have, I couldn't help but find ways to creatively expand the storyliine to ensure everyone had a chance to have fun within it. It's a bit of a hastle to keep the three story-lines together at times, but I wouldn't have it any other way. :)
Hehe, it's crazy how much can happen in such a short time. I think you're really good at looking back and thinking on everything that's happened up to this point - either in general with life, or certain projects. Those're the sorta things you always ask me about, so I'm sure you think on 'em plenty too! :D
And it's neat seeing how many different looking yoshes there have been on here! And that's not even all of 'em. X3 So hurray hurray! I can't wait to see what'll happen in the year to come. :3

<LoL!> I guess the Business Major in me just can't help but enjoy the power of hindsight. Life can seem all boring at the time until you take something like this and realize just how very unboring it really has been. Moreover, in doing stuff like this, you just can't help but get the warm fuzzies about knowing just how much you have touched and inspired people in such a short span of time.
It's neat, because I still look back on when you and I first met and think of just how much you have evolved and grown as an artist and individual as well. Considering all the great achievements you have done, and friends you've made, you'd need probably ten, or more, of these just to showcase all that has happened in just the last two years. Though, I suppose that is what your forthcoming book is all about in a way. A grand tome filled with great friends, times, and leaps-and-bounds of creative growth and achievement. What better way to celebrate so much awesome over such a short span of time. :)
