Still At It · 4:22am May 3rd, 2020
I've been going through an extremely rough patch of late, and that's putting it very lightly.
As those of you who watch me on DeviantArt already know, my mother passed away in late March. Even without all of the insanity going on with this current pandemic, this was a real punch to the gut. As I help my family tie up loose ends, I remind myself that I still have a job, a roof over my head, and most importantly, my health.
For much of April, I've been struggling to create anything, written or visual. During times like this, I normally would have gone out to an art museum or to the coastline to clear my head. But even if I am stuck at home, I will make the most of my time one way for another.
On that note, I do have a tiny bit of good news...
I am pleased to announce that I have just finished writing a new Equestria Girls belly dance story - a fun, short, and sweet tale featuring Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Sci-Twi. I will post it once I finish the cover image.
I hope that everyone is staying safe and sane. We will get through this!
I know I said it before, but I am sorry for your loss.
It's a good attitude to have, though, reminding yourself of what you do have - especially in this crazy time. I often tell myself that I'm lucky, that my parents and I have managed to remain healthy and not have to go hungry or such.
It's good to hear that you've gotten something written. It's a good sign, I think, being able to write or create something during a hard time. (Though of course, don't push yourself too much!)
Stay safe, and stay sane, you said it!
My condolences.
My condolences.
I'd give you a hug if I could (and if there wasn't a pandemic).
Take care of yourself.
