Otakon/Matsuricon + 2012 Sketch Dump

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts the last few weeks. If you've been following my twitter you'd already know I've been a bit busy with Otakon last week and am currently at Matsuricon as this is posted. :D

I'll be in the Artist Alley at Matsuricon this weekend with a bunch of friends so please come by and say hi if you're going to be there! I need to work on scheduling posts ahead of time. XD

I've been in a reading, writing, and bookbinding mood lately. I've been sketching off and on when I can get a moment. I've been wanting to play with my watercolors more often but for some reason I haven't got around to it. Can I get someone to get on me for that?

With Nanowrimo quickly creeping up on me I've been trying to pick an idea to start planning. I wanted to have a pretty solid outline before I started to write in November. Since I've decided to take a class this semester it will cut in on my planning time but that's ok, hopefully I'll be able to manage my time more carefully.

I'm a bit torn between starting Decryption or using Ethereal Voices. With EV I already have the characters but no plot but with Decryption I have neither really. I'm a little more eager to start Decryption since I have an idea but nothing more., whereas, I'm a bit stumped at what to do with EV. lol I'm going to give myself some time and try to figure out which story I'll plan to write for Nanowrimo.

Vacation Weekend + Campnanowrimo + Otakon Prep + 2012 Sketch Dump

I'm alive! Ok I suppose I didn't mention that I went skydiving this past Sunday. It was part of a huge vacation weekend I had with my family. That sort of explains why I didn't have a post last week. Although in hindsight I could have scheduled one but I was too busy. >_<;; Sorry guys! Anyways skydiving was a blast! I went to Cedar Point with my brother and hiking the next day. Needless to say I was tired and wasn't in the mood to write a blog post when I got home. I had a good time but was super exhausted. I needed a few days to recover and even still I didn't really fully recover until this weekend. lol

I was able to read some books this past week which I'm glad about because I still have stacks I need to get through. lol Oh the end of July's Campnanowrimo was this Wednesday and I'm happy to say I completed my word count goal of 20k! I managed 20, 083 for the total. This was sprinting about 4k on the last day because of my busy weekend. XD I was glad to have made it, I wasn't sure if I was going to make it. lol The story is still far from complete but it's getting there. I did skip around a lot and wrote a bunch of scenes as I felt inspired. Better than nothing. :D



Ok, well Otakon is coming up! Don't forget I'll have an Artist Alley Table at Otakon this year! I'm still working on new art but unfortunately haven't been as productive as I would like especially today but I plan on dedicating tomorrow to creating. It's crunch time but I hope to have some buttons done and new prints but we'll see! Wish me luck! :D Oh find me at Otakon and I'll love you forever!
