Whelp, it's that time. Time for us to bid farewell to 2015 and move on to 2016. Over all, 2015 as a whole was rather... Bleh for me, as I'm sure I've made aware several times now. All I can hope is that 2016 will be a better year, and things will finally even out. In the meantime, it's time to look back on my resolutions and see what I did and didn't accomplish, and to make new ones for this year.
Keep writing, no matter what story it is I'm writing for.
SUCCESS! Bar my Christmas break after the loops, I pretty much wrote something for my stories every day this year.
Post a few more drawings than I did last year.
Failed. Checking my gallery, I posted a grand total of one whole drawing this entire year! /shot
Make that comic, if only because it's a running gag that I never do.
Do I even need to say it at this point? :/
Try to be more active on dA.
??? I feel like I've been more active than last year, but...
Keep my journals at least somewhat regularly updated.
Again, no clue on this one...
Do something I've never really done before in art or writing.
Uh... I started writing some original works instead of fics. Does that count?
Try to keep in contact with older friends.
Unfortunately, failed. This is a lot harder to do when everyone I use to know either disappeared off the net or haven't been active on most sites I go to.
Complete a multi-chapter fic, even if it's only two chapters long.
Eh... Failed. I'm going to post an epilogue chapter for the loops soon though. However, the loops kind of imploded on itself community wise near the end, which is why I didn't get to complete it.
So, one success, three inconclusive, and three fails. Again, though, 2015 was kind of a crappy year for me, so... :/
Anyways, for the new year, I should probably keep things simple since I have no clue where it's going to go, so...
In the new year, I resolve to...
Stay sane no matter what's thrown at me.
Get back into drawing.
Actually do something with the mountains of characters I created in the past.
Not worry as much about what others think of me.
Try not to take things as personally as I normally do.
Just have fun and do my own thing, even if it means I lose a few watchers in the process.

A friend needs serious help
I know I'm not the most active here anymore, but a good friend of mine is in serious need of help. https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-leilani-from-her-abusive-mother?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1 Having been friends with them for what is approaching a decade now, this is all, unfortunately, true. Even if you can't donate, please consider spreading the word about this anywhere you can. It's really been getting worse in the past year, and I am seriously worried about their well being. To everyone who helps out; you have my sincerest thanks.
Heads up about 'A Second Chance'
I know it may sound weird for me to already say this, but I already decided to pull out of the first draft of this. I know the whole reason I made it was so that I could have something I could just write, but I really wasn't feeling the direction it was headed. Especially with putting myself on a weekly schedule. I don't feel like 'writing by the seat of my pants' works for me anymore. It was getting so bloated and losing focus already by chapter five. Plus sticking to the Spyro 1 narrative was proving more a hindrance for me than I thought it would. Do note; this does not mean I am scrapping it. I fully plan on making the basic premise of the fic work; but I really need to examine it and what I want it to be VS letting it run wild on its own. I have very high standards when it comes to writing (which is both a blessing and a curse, believe me) and if something starts feeling like a chore for me to write, that's usually a sign that it's not meeting those standards. In the
Eclipse is still the worst
I knew it was bad but I didn't realize how bad until I tried to upload something written for a change. That is all.
Made a Discord
Temporary link.
It's a general TTRPG server focused on games that can be played over Discord.
Long story short: Quarantine is driving me nuts, all my multiplayer games have been flooded with 'edgy' teenagers mic spamming racial slurs and other garbage over voice chat and I need some actual positive interactions over mic to keep me sane right now.
Hoping to expand to a variety of games that can be ran in the future. Neckbeards and 'that guys' will be kicked pretty swiftly. I don't want any drama on this Discord.
Link will temporarily be up for 24 hours. After that you're gonna have to send me a note if you want in.
