Cleaning Out
1 min read
I'm gonna start taking stuff down for various reasons, one being quality control and the other being paranoia for its future. I'm gonna leave most of my short stories but the "long" chapter stories are going away. I appreciate everyone who took the time to read them and I'm keeping all the feedback I received for future reference ^^
Stuff I'm keeping: All my drawings, AU and Oneshot stories, Ask my OCs, cosplay, Reverse of Fayte
Stuff that's going away: Be Careful Who You Wish For, No Ordinary High School, Midnight Hour, Demon Inside, Dusk at Sea, and Hero from Darkness.

I still log in here on occasion to try and keep up with the people I watched. Just because I'm inactive doesn't mean they don't still deserve the attention. So today I checked in and found a new comment for the first time in ages, and from someone I didn't know. Flame-Panda randomly found my page and left me a lovely comment on a drawing.
Long story short, I've been feeling kind of down about my art lately, so this really meant the world to me
It's the little things like this that just make my day so much better. I couldn't thank her enough on my own, so please go give some of your love to this awesome person!
Her art is super cute though seriously go check it out~

Guess who recently finished a complete rewrite of "No Ordinary High School" Chapter 1?
You guessed it. Jessica
haha jk it was me.
Anyway, I'm suuuuper proud of it now! It was a lot of hard work (just looking at the old draft was painful) but it just goes to show what the power of editing, dedication, and a week sick in bed can do!
Short comparison
Version 1: 2 pages Version 2: 8 pages
Version 1: Monster appears on page 1 Version 2: Monster appears on page 6
V1: New town has no name V2: Town is named Bellthorne
Version 2: Scenery! Backstory! Non-blocky descriptions! AAAAAAAAAAAAH IT'S SO MUCH BETTER NOW.

Shaking off the dust

Hello again, dA community. It's been awhile since I've been actively-active on here, and I just wanted to say a few things before... whatever happens, happens.
I was reading through my past journals and dear god were they whiny. I am so sorry you were all exposed to that. However, as the nature of this past year was less-than great I don't have a lot of good to report. Instead of whining about it, though, I'll just give a brief, objective summary of my year in review:
January: Started second semester of college.
February: Things were going alright.
March: Depression hit hard, making my grades and mental state suffer.
April: Lost my job which actually helped me regain focus and motivation for school.
May: Finished my second semester with mostly A's! Moved back in with my parents.
June-July: Nothing to report.
August (end): I moved out of my parents' and in with my boyfriend. Due to the nature of my departure, my immediate family (step-mom in particular) and I are no longer on good terms.
September: Went to my second year of Nan Desu Kan and had a fantastic time, Friday I was my Iop avatar from Dofus, Saturday I was a masquerade version of Monokuma, and Sunday Jessica and I were the Hiitachin twins in their Cheshire Cat outfits.
October: Nearly lost the cat I've had since childhood, but she made it. Went with Jessica to see my absolute favorite band in the world perform. Depression hit again, grades once again suffered.
November: Mood started picking up a little and I made a slight comeback in grades.
December: Went on vacation for Christmas which was difficult but fun.
So that was my year. I'm still in a financial bind and my academic future is uncertain because of it, but there's a lot of good that happened. My home environment felt toxic, so even though I'm struggling, I'm happier here than I ever was. I have a great support system of my closest friend and my boyfriend, whom I've grown even closer to now, and I'm learning to make mistakes and be on my own. I'm confident that I'll start winning more and more battles in 2016, so look out world!
Pertaining to dA, I'm not sure how much activity you'll see from me. I still have my doubts about posting original content on this site, but I have met some amazing people here and I'd like to keep in touch. Stay tuned, everyone, and I hope you have an amazing year!

I keep getting ideas for adding to my stories (a lot for NoHS, most recently a story I have yet to post called Clean Slate), but I never sit down to work on them.
So much for writing "at least 15 minutes everyday." If I tried to make up for it now I'd be up for almost two full days doing nothing but writing.
I mean not like I sleep anyway but still.
I'm a failure. I'm pretty lonely. I'm... honestly scared.
w00t.
Peace out. See ya... sometime.
