It's the 1st of November which means that we're forced to observe Christmas for the next 55 days, whether we want to or not! Nah, I'm kidding. But only sort-of.
I'll cut to the chase. I'm wondering about the possibility of a Secret Santa this year. Anybody interested? And, more importantly, do you have the time to commit? Let's talk about this, guys. The comment box is OPEN!
Update (11/8/18): So far, it's lookin' like a "no", you guys, but there's still time for more opinions. If this years SS is a non-starter, maybe we can do art trades.
Finally, an actual post about anime rather than my progress on stuff (or lack thereof).
I must warn you that the topic I'm about to cover is controversial. Because of that, I'm putting it on another page. Also to avoid a site-wide freak-out...

I'm feeling inspired to draw, but I don't want to continue the 43681045019 art projects I have started. I want to draw something new. But what? I have no idea. At least I now know why my art output has been so low this year.
Don't you just love when this happens?
Last week, I posted a link to my old fanfiction.net account for all my coworkers to see. In my defense, it was in the "social" channel of our Slack and I was off the clock when I did it. One of my coworkers read it immediately and burst out laughing multiple times.
Hey, know what? I'll link my FFN profile on theO. Just be aware that I haven't updated since I was 19. And I was a bit too obsessed with Naruto in that point in my life. Anyway, carve this into your eyeballs!
I know "arting" isn't a word. I just thought it would be cute to make a rhyming title. I'm so not funny.
At the place where I work, there are a lot of people who like to do artistic stuff (which has nothing to do with our jobs). So, we formed a little after-work art club. A lot of us had the same goal: we all wanted motivation to draw more.
I actually sketched something that day! It was the main character in the story I've been planning for, like, three years. If you're wondering, no, I haven't made any progress with the actual story.
Speaking of my stories, I wrote a little bit more of Destination. I know it's a corny story, but there was something very therapeutic about writing it. The story arc that I'm writing is drawing to a close, but it ends on an uncertain note, and I have yet to write that part. I just want my OCs to catch a little break before I torture them again.
It's so weird juggling three-- or possibly four-- stories. Sometimes I feel like writing one. Sometimes I want to draw characters from another. Most of the time, I just think about them and try to develop them.
What I'd love to do is make a webcomic. I just don't know which story I could adapt to that format. Plus, I lack the artistic skills. And the time management skills.
Just to end this post on a positive note, I started digitally sketching a pair of album cover parodies. I hope I get them done soon because I can't wait to present them here.
