Deviation Actions
Hey guys.
Um, I haven't talked to many of you in a while, but I still want people to actually look at this. It's important.
This is going to be about my writing and art, and where it will be placed from now on.
I'm going to dedicate my deviantArt page to fanfiction and art. I am also considering making another blog for larger pieces and things pertaining to my stories, like
character designs, settings, or anything else I may need online.
My original works, (although I'm fairly certain only ZataGoddess reads them,) will be viewable on my Figment account, along with others. This means that original stories, like Holly's Wish and others I was planning on writing, will be taken down from here, edited, and moved there. I'm planning on doing this so I can hopefully get more attention for my writing, and less for my art. So, please check me out on figment, too. It's a great place for young writers.
Speaking of art, please read this, Especially the one entitled Do you take commissions or something similar? I'm doing one last request due to a misunderstanding, but please, no more! I do art trades only, and I'll agree to it if you tell me all the details of the trade first. Don't give me gift art and expect me to do something in return.
I love how popular my art is, (which isn't really that popular,) but I feel like no one reads my writing or journals, into which I put much more effort.
As you've probably noticed, I've bolded the most important parts so that you guys don't have to spend too much time reading this.
Please, pay attention to this part! This is stuff that I'm focusing on or ignoring!
I'm focusing on my Music Meister fanfic so I can wrap it up.
I'm uploading some short stories on my figment, entitled The Shiylancs. This is where I'll be uploading those one-shots and drabbles from now on.
I'm taking a break from the Nutcracker and any associated things. Why? I had serious writer's block with that story, and my sister told me to leave it alone for a year. So, that's what I'm doing. No more telling me what I should draw and what I should stop drawing.
In fact, I haven't touched my sketchbook in weeks. Don't expect anything new.
Please, please, before I accept an art trade or anything, tell me what's in the drawing! I can't do animals, I can only do people.
Anyway, if you made it to this point, congrats. If you comment, that'd be great. Please, I like hearing from you guys and talking. I'm a person, not a machine that churns out writing and art.

''Leaving'' DeviantArt
I haven't been active here for a while, but that's only part of the reason why I'm "leaving" this site. To be clear, I am not deactivating my account or putting all my deviations in storage; however, I will not upload anything new, give llamas/badges, or reply to comments. I may check in (about once or twice a month) on my friends and certain tags, but that's about it. This is a choice I've debated since April 2021 at least, and was cemented when I finally changed my username to differ from my other social media handles. Multiple concerns led me to this decision. I've had this account for years, and there are old works and comments that embarrass me. While I have control over my gallery, it'd be impossible for me to go and edit every comment I've ever made on every deviation I've seen; it no longer represents who I am and who I strive to be. If I get published someday, I could get into serious legal trouble if people track down and make connections between my works and the fandoms
Camp NaNoWriMo, April 2021
Okay, so I’m setting this up pretty late (like, the end of day one,) but I’m trying to make my announcement/plan for doing Camp NaNoWriMo. It’s been really difficult for me to write with the general state of the world right now, but writing makes me happy. I put a lot of pressure on myself, my writing, my stories, so I forget how happy it does make me. Sitting down and turning on my laptop is always the most difficult part, but once I get started, I get going. I just need to set a time, everyday, to sit down and write for an hour or two. There will be some new factors playing into NaNoWriMo this time around: I recently got a part-time job at the local library, so I’ll have to balance that out since I’ve usually only done NaNoWriMo when I have no other commitments. I have three, six-hour long shifts each week, and my hours will range from 9:30 am to 9 pm, so it’s quite reasonable. I also want to try going to bed before 2 am, and waking up at 9:30 am. That’ll just help me be more
Ch-Ch-Changes...
Hey guys, it's been a while. I've finished school, acknowledged that I'm still directionless in life, and failed to write much (if any) of my Nutcracker novel! Woohoo! Recently, I've been considering going through my social media and making some changes to appear more professional. Therefore, I may go through my gallery and re-arrange and delete things. I'll probably get rid of a lot of the content in my deviation descriptions, since people have stolen some of my ideas (and I don't mean "got the same idea," I mean "stolen") and I'm wary of that, especially with "Nutcracker" and "Renaissance." I might also delete deviations relating to those; some pieces are so old, they no longer "represent" the story, or they spoil something. However, I do have some things I really want to draw. I'd like to get lineups/full concepts for characters of all my stories, color variations, and more speedpaints. Once I develop a schedule and get out of my transitional depression, I'll be more creative.
Hey! long time, no see, right? Haha...anyway.
I had some Tangled fanart, since I got pulled feet-first into the series, but my scanner at home is terrible. My phone camera doesn’t work well either, since the lighting in my house is also terrible, so I’m stuck with shadows on every picture and no way to cleanly edit them out. I also want to draw some character lineups for my stories, but same issue there. We’ll see what I’ll be able to do in the future, but at least I can color them on my laptop decently enough, even if they’re just flats. So I have no art yet this summer, but I do have some (good for me, debatably good and/or bad for you,) news! For your information, though this is likely obvious, Coronavirus has sapped me of my energy and drive, so I’ve barely done anything this summer. I also had a big surprise that I was hoping to finish by Christmas, but that's unlikely. I am a massive perfectionist who demands the best of myself, which means I often push myself twice as far as I should. Like, hey, you ran one mile! Good

I understand the breaks. Creativity just has natural ups and downs. I learned not to fight it anymore.
