Sorry for being dead still · 5:52am Mar 18th, 2021
I'm still stuck in that point where I get like no enjoyment out of anything, I've really worked on nothing other than commissions and adopts lately, because I've had basically no drive to work on almost anything. Well, there's been a few things, but not much I can post right now. Hopefully soon, the lack of writing is actually getting on my nerves.
Not sure if I should call this a hiatus, because I could get a boost of energy tomorrow night and have almost a whole chapter finished. I hate having the ideas, but no drive to actually work on anything for myself. Especially annoying when it's been a month, but all I can really do is wait it out, any advice I've been given about 'forcing' it just makes it worse.
Not much to say here, really. I just kinda wanted to move the last couple of blogs out of the way. I'm still stressed, obviously, but it's nothing that's worth going on about again. Maybe it's because it's been a year of quarantine and I finally snapped, who knows. It'd make sense I think?
Actually, I think I know the problem, but I'm not gonna bother with it.
Oh, and if anyone was wondering from the last blog, Gizmo recovered & is still scampering about. He's a crotchety old man who cares about nothing but gentle pets and food.
Anyway, for the nonsense above, I do have something to show. It's been a while since Days of the Dead updated, but I've been leaving the 3rd chapter's file open in the hopes that I'd get to it. I sorta have, and will probably be adding a few minor changes with the next update.
I will also be updating the cover art, because the current one's art bothers me. Have a preview. 
It's supposed to be stained glass and I can see all the mistakes now.
I certainly like that preview of the art.
Wow, I didn't know things were going so bad for you emotionally. I just thought that you were slowing down on writing from being busy with art, my condolences. Really sorry if that quarantine has taken such a big toll on you mentally, I couldn't imagine, having gone to work every week of my life for more than a year. I've kind of felt the same way for a month though, just being in a rut not knowing what the heck to believe in right now, but writing my story helps me feel better. I also like the art, but the most important thing right now is you finding a way to feel better and I always wish the best for you.

Here's hoping the full version looks as good as the preview.

Probably a bit of both really, all the commissioned art has kept me from a lot of my own personal works, and it's been pretty much using up all my time to do things for myself. It's why I opened the adopt grid on DA, it was something different and gave me a bit more freedom in what I can draw. I considered taking a break on commissions, but considering they're my only source of income right now, I'm hesitant to do that. I might still.
Admittedly though, I do still go out, mostly to stores and out in the woods sometimes. It's something, but also not enough? Always the same places. I'm also probably pretty discouraged since I missed any 'big' things I'd do every year, and now that my sister's moved to a whole different state I may never even be able to go to those places anymore. She was the only person I had to go out and do things with, and I'm not quite willing to go out alone.
Oh well, at least things should finally be clearing up soon, maybe that'll make my motivation return. Or maybe even just the warm weather, the fact it's still cold enough I can't go out as often as I'd like probably doesn't help either.

Glad you're going out occasionally and I really hope that things truly will clear up soon. Both my older siblings are very far away from me now, so I hope you get to see your sister soon. I am always willing to show you support, whether it be through commissions or donations, whichever you prefer. A commission, I would only ever commission something very simple, since I really don't want to give you any more work. I even gave you another donation to your Ko-fi just to say, "Cheer up, I know you'll get through this.".

Probably won't be seeing her much at all, Michigan to Idaho's a pretty big jump and she'd have to fly to visit. I don't really see it happening, especially since she left without warning, but who knows. I'm still a bit mad at her for the whole 'not being told' part.
Hoping the commissions calm down after the last grid adopt, no one's claimed another yet so it may sit for a bit. And thank you! I shall try to doodle a Sombra in thanks.
