Happy 2014!
Tuesday, 7 January 2014 12:47 amAll right. It’s a week late. I know, I haven’t really been around online much, lately (um, make that, since mid-October... mid-June?...), so this is probably just par for the course? Better late than never, I suppose.
Happy New Year!
Welcome, 2014
-----------------------------------------
Resolutions?
Last year, I felt spectacularly unproductive. I didn’t seem to achieve anything I wanted – spent most of my time either planning things (which then also didn’t come to fruition), or just going through old things and throwing them away.
This year, I want to actually have something to show for all the time I spend on things. I want to get back into good writing habits – 1000 words a day, if possible, not the measly 200 or so I’ve managed (on a good day) lately. I want to draw more, too. I just want to be productive.
Hence, this year I want to start making a weekly digest post of what I’ve been working on, what’s been happening in the world, maybe some photographs, even if I don’t have enough creative work to post “officially”, starting from this coming Sunday. We’ll see how long I can keep that up for. (I’m going to bet “one week”. I’ll put a pound in a jar every week I successfully remember to post a digest, and we’ll see what I’ve saved at the end of the year, haha. If it’s anything more than £5, I’ll donate it to charity.)
…this post doesn’t count, by the way. *shifty eyes*
( Boring travel-related things )
FA
Lastly, for a variety of reasons, I’ve decided to remove my work from FA. Suffice it to say, there have been some recent administrative decisions on staff and policies that make me rather… uncomfortable? and which I’d rather not support by using the site.
I don’t have a lot of watchers, and never really contributed past posting the occasional piece of art, so it’s not like it’ll make much impact, and to be honest? I was never all that comfortable putting non-furry art on a primarily furry website – seemed a little hypocritical. So maybe it was for the best anyway. I just needed that last nudge to wipe my gallery.
-----------------------------------------
So, Happy 2014! We got there eventually. Let's hope it's a good one.
Edit: And drat, after everything, I still managed to futz my HTML. Please be fixed now?
Edit2: I already changed my mind. It'll be Sunday evening, i.e. end-of-the-week, not Saturday.
