Progress!

Spending hours on top of hours filling in little rooftops in different colors and all in different perspectives shouldn't be part of something you do for a hobby, but that's what I've been doing for the past two weeks (I think... it's all kind of blurry).

Let's talk about the future real quick. At the end of April I'll be going off to work somewhere for the summer and coming back to college in the Fall. No clue where I'm going yet, so I really have no idea how much time I'll have for writing and stuff. As always, my editing work comes first, so that may end up eating all my free time and leave nothing left over for my own projects. We'll just see how things go!

Man, I'm delirious right now. It's taking all my concentration just to spell things right, so sorry if this blog didn't make much sense.
