I picked up a pencil for the first time in a while, and actually accomplished something, rather than infuriate myself with tiny details. I will be uploading a drawing– a self-portrait, actually– to dA, and will post a link to it here whenever it is there.
I will be posting multiple variants of it, because I am intending to do what is called the Expressions Meme, where I draw my character with different expressions. This is meant to be an exercise, and it will definitely be trying for me… Might take a while… I’m trying to draw my character at all angles, first, so that way I have the dimensions down (especially the hair).
Will update later!

Why I Haven’t Been Posting Much
I am easily distracted, I will admit that. The list of things I want to do are ever growing, and yet time and family and friends and sleeping limit what I actually can do. There was a time when I was posting multiple things a day on here, and checking two or three times to make sure everything was properly spelt and capitalized. It seems I just rushed it, so that way whoever is reading would have the illusion that I was here. But I haven’t been “here” in a while. My mind wanders here, but I seem to lose my ideas as soon as the page loads.
I started about a dozen posts, and then scrapped them because I completely forgot what I was going to write about. I do this every day when talking to people, so I’m used to it in that context, however my computer, my keyboard… That is my safe place. My ideas flow easily from my fingertips to the keys, and since I can keep up with my mind when I type (can’t say the same for writing by hand– carpal tunnel to prove it) I am not used to having the problem of uninspired, generic posts. I mean, if I got on Facebook (God forbid), a couple of these posts seem like a common post you’d find on there.
That is unacceptable.
So, perhaps the reason I’ve halted on so many of those potential posts was because, if I were reading that post, I would not even care. That is the definition of Facebook: People you like say things that usually make you wonder why you like them– or is it just me?
At least I won’t sink so low that I start making posts about the food I’m eating, although I admit groaning about how there’s no food in the house is a bit worse.
In conclusion… I am apologizing for my neglect of My Only Reality. When I get home from work, I need to start working on next week’s Inspiring Video, so that way I don’t end up almost a week late again. I need to get back in the game, not forcefully, but not halfheartedly, either.
I will be thinking while I’m at work. If anyone has any suggestions for me, whether it be a question, or encouragement, or even a request for the next Inspiring Video, please don’t hesitate! I love hearing from people, and I love knowing that people still read these long-winded posts (Readers Unite)!
Q&A Time
When I visited Denkir The Filtiarn’s website, I wondered what would happen if I posted a Q&A, like he did. I am not sure how this will go, but I am curious to see any questions. As for what is off-limits, nothing sexual. Other than that, I don’t mind. If it is a personal question, I won’t mind. Everything that has happened to me has shaped me into who I am now, and there is no changing what happened, only what will be.
So, in other words, ask me anything, really. All answers will be explained in a separate post with the question as the title.
