I got some sort of food poisoning, so my whole Royal Road experiment has to be delayed because I couldn't sit long enough to record or edit any chapters 😩 I really wanted to start that in September.

In my effort to work while I was not able to access my PC, I have since made it where I don't have enough space on my iPad again to open a procreate file LOL it's being fixed. I think on top of needing a new SSD, I may need to also get a new GPU.

I had thought about actually creating the glyphs for the universal written language I have in my head, but I always end up just scribbling because it looks cool like that.

I have been sitting in a boot loop for an hour. The only hard drive that I can get to doesn't have CSP on it, but even that one keeps looping. I have commission files on that drive, though. I would like at least one month where everything works out for me. Please and thank you!

My brain wasn’t braining while working on a commission, and to work through the issue without spending too much time in the commission, I worked on some studies. I think I’m good to go now.

My iPad used to be my primary tablet for art because I love Procreate so much. Now I can’t use it at all until I remove some old canvases taking up space. I wish Procreate was on PC.

I got a commission in VGen that didn't show up in my queue. I just got the notif of payment, so I check everywhere, refresh, look on a different device, see nothing for about 15 minutes. Assume it was a mistake and refund. Go back into VGen to address another commission and Oop! There it is!

I'm working on a manuscript and had the realization that I can't self publish it in my current situation. The cost of editing alone would be too much. I wasn't really aiming for trad publishing, though, as there's not really a large market audience for it. Should I just shelve it again?

I'm sick to my stomach. Bookvault bound some other book to my cover and shipped it off to a customer. I had to refund, which means I'm back to being unable to pay bills, and I lost a reader (they were kind but didn't want a replacement and I don't blame them). Bookvault doesn't do refunds 🥲

I've bookmarked more characters than I'll have time to attack, I fear. But there are so many great character designs! A lot of character types I want to draw...

While I was gonna do Tragedy, I ended up going with Mystery because I thought it was funny, considering how I wasn’t going to participate (I don’t have a lot of commissions coming in rn, so why not?) Here’s hoping life doesn’t kick me this year. It’s like a tradition at this point.

😭 I am getting fomo for Art Fight. Every time I see a post about it, I ask myself, "Could I swing it?" I could... No, don't do it, Elorviel. You need to focus on making money, not fun!
