@Heroine-of-Winds Sorry for the late reply! I've been doing good, life's been pretty busy, but in a good way, I feel like I've been productive. I've been learning to code, and we might be moving so it's been full-steam-ahead, and will likely get even busier with summer coming. How about you though? What's going on in your realm? I've missed chatting with y'all.
No worries! Yay, productivity, that's good to hear :D That's cool that ur learning to code :o I remember taking a coding class a couple years ago and struggling with it lol, kudos to you (^ ^
Oh? Good luck with the move if y'all do end up doing so! :)
I've missed chatting with you guys too, we def need to do so more often :(
School's been keeping me busy and stressed, especially my ela class We have to write our own short story and agh I've not done much for it so far Yesterday I went on a field trip with my art class/art club to a tourist town which was rly fun and a nice break, so I'm thankful for that
Sorry for my late replies, I'm gonna try and be more consistent, because I agreed, we should chat more often. Writing was always my weakest point in school, (that's an understatement...) so I have sympathy for you. Sucks to hear that your stressed :/ wish there was something I could do, but I hope things look up for you. Summer break is around June-ish usually, right? Not too much longer :sweat_smile: Sounds like fun, glad you enjoyed the sights. Been doing much art lately?
I'm now just gonna end my sentences with a pizza. No better way to finish something :pizza:
No more stress is always good, enjoy your freedom Also reading the Bible is a great stress-reliever, especially the psalms and gospels. Super cool that your paper did so well, would you enjoy writing just for a hobby/publishing? When, y'know, there's no deadline looming over you.
I'm doing well, my brother just got back into videogames temporarily, so I've been doing that with him on my free time, since I rarely get a chace to play with my bros, therefore productivity has plummeted a good bit on my end :sweat_smile: So yeaah, I'm trying to learn better time-management skills, that's something I've always stuggled with, so it's time I learned.
Thanks, and as for writing I don't do it often but I forget how much I enjoy it, particularly fiction/creative writing. As long as there's no deadline I think it could definitely be something I could develop as a hobby sometime, hopefully.
You totally should! You also wouldn't have to hire an illustrator for your books, so that's a win.
As far as the game, I hate to say it, but...
Fortnite.
My brother is HYPER-competitive, he likes extremely skill based games. We used to play it a long time ago when it first came out, and hadn't really played it for years, and it changed so much, but they brought back all of the old stuff as nostalgia-bait to bring old players back. Sadly it worked.
Hey that's a good point, I'd definitely save money by drawing the illustrations myself lol or at least I'd hope. It sounds like y'all are having fun :) Tho it's frustrating when companies only bring back some features or things to lure players in for their money I can't say I haven't fallen for those marketing strategies either :sob: As for gaming myself, I haven't don't much lately other than a little animal crossing. My island is looking ROUGH, I'm trying to get it looking decent again lol although Tom nook and his monopoly on everyone isn't helping
Darn that capitalist tanooki. Wich AC is your favorite? I remember my sister had one on her DS and loved it, but I haven't had much experience with the series outside that. Also are you planning to do anything fun this summer?
Hmm, that's a tough decision. I love both new leaf and new horizons for different reasons, but overall I think new leaf is my favorite, especially for nostalgic reasons. Also I might take driving lessons soon, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to so I'll have to see about that. Other than that I don't really have anything planned lol. What about you?

Dude
This is so awesome
It's beautiful

@Heroine-of-Winds Thanks much!
This is just copy work tho, so it's not original to me. I find that copying things helps me learn the art style.
07 Feb, 2024, 7:05 pm
Thou art most welcome.
Well, even so, you still did great.
And I agree, doing that really can be helpful.
08 Feb, 2024, 9:39 am
Wow, this brings back memories. You did a fantastic job on this!
08 Feb, 2024, 11:51 am

25 May, 2025, 9:51 pm
No worries lol, I've been pretty inactive too :sweat_drops:
Also I finished the short story and my teacher told me I should try and publish it :sob:
And I appreciate that a lot, thank you <3 but now that school's out I'm significantly less stressed so yay (minus a math test i still have to take)
As for art, I've done a lot in my art class, our last project was watercolor. I'm trying to do more digital art tho since I rly enjoy that lol
Anywaysss
How are you?
25 May, 2025, 9:52 pm

29 May, 2025, 7:42 am
Ooh nice, what games have you picked back up?
Playing video games w siblings is fun lol, especially if/when you don't get to often.
And agreed, time management is way harder than it should be :sob:
I say as I'm typing this at nearly 3am ahem-
But proud of you for working on that, it's certainly no easy task
29 May, 2025, 10:02 pm

How about you? Been gaming any lately?
29 May, 2025, 10:05 pm
I appreciate you staying up until 3AM so you could support my endeavors, truly heroic stuff.
29 May, 2025, 10:06 pm
@Heroine-of-Winds I'm so out of habit with the tagging.

Old games hit different.
That's exciting! Are you nervous, or are you confident you got this?
As far as my summer goes, we're looking to move, so we're getting the place ready for that, nothing super exciting outside that tho.
