you’ve only been rping 9 months? :O That’s amazing you’re already such a pro! ^^ I feel u about not having confidence, but I think you just have to keep pushing through? …
Oh gosh, thank you for the kind comments. <3 I should clarify, though – I’ve only been tumblrrping for the last 9 months… but I’ve been roleplaying on MUSHes/MUCKs/etc since ‘99. In fact, that’s how I met my husband! We were playing on a Pokemon MUSH a million years ago, started talking about art and playing together and… bam! He moved here to date me in person (LDRs are hard, man) and we got married 2 years later. ….7 ½ years ago. omg I AM old!
Re: The books… I need to set time aside every day to write. I know how to write and what I need to do, but I always… just avoid it. For some reason. I think my mentor had a point about my being afraid. But I could write a huge essay on that topic alone (I actually have a comic in draft form for that).
I’ve been re-reading my current novel in progress lately, though, and it’s getting me excited for it again… so that’s a plus!
Must set goals. Must actually work toward them every day.
Re: The art… I get in a funk with my art every single winter. It’s like my skills and confidence run and hibernate. If you’re curious, though, my portfolio is here: http://gabapple.com/ – truth be told, I went to university to be an animator, switched to the illustration major, and then took mostly english classes. Uh. I’ll get out of my rut eventually… just need to keep trying to get commissions done in the meantime and attempt to not complain so much.
ugh I need to update my website… the events tab is totally out of date. I only have one con to sell at lined up for 2014 so far…
and I need to fix my comic website and get back into that again. and to think I was Guest of Honor at a con last summer for my art. :I what has become of me?
regardless, thank you so much for your help (and the advice that you’re giving to me on skype dkjlgafdas you’re amazing) <333
