Oh, my word…I’m back!

 

As I have written before, life events can become obstacles to creative endeavors. That is the main reason why I have not written or drawn since last - February. Yikes! That is too long.

 What could possibly pull me away? There were a few examinations that needed to be passed to move forward at my workplace. Full disclosure, stress levels were high. Study schedules were grueling. One exam was the hardest test I have ever taken in my life. That is not an exaggerated statement. The good news is, by God’s grace, I passed them all. Ya!

Once over, in disbelief passing the last exam, I drove home thinking something needed to be studied. That feeling is slowly fading away. With all of that completed, inevitable burnout followed. This is where I am at now. It has been roughly three weeks since the last test and this is the first time I could muster putting my butt in a chair to write something. You may ask, why don’t you take a few vacation days. Well, I took a week vacation off before the monster study schedule to give myself ahead start. So that ship has sailed. I don’t regret it.

 The first thing I wanted to do is write to the people who follow my process as a writer/artis. While on hiatus, which is not a good word to describe what I went through. To my amazement people who followed me kept coming back to see when I might be back. Whether it was to my vlog locations or my blog, they kept checking in on me. I was blown away.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

That has given me so much encouragement to keep doing what I want to do. I also like to give a huge shoutout to people that live overseas where the largest group kept visiting.

 So how do we move forward from here. In all honest I am still exhausted from the pass schedule and stress that I have been going through since February.

 I am still figuring that out a creative schedule. The dream would be going back to writing three days a week and possibly an extra day on Saturday or Sunday. I need to also develop a schedule for posting blog posts and topics to be written for those posts. I like to redevelop how I multi-stream and the esthetic there within. Throw in life duties, ren fair is coming up quickly and raising a two-year-old daughter. She is an amazing little lady that melts my heart every day.

 So, as you can see, I am trying again to find life’s balance. How that will look is evolving. I look forward to what is to come, and I am glad to have you there along this crazy journey.
