All right, confession time: I'm not much given to long rants of self-indulgence or bouts of sanctimonious introspection. Whining about your problems to strangers on the internet is, to me, a grand mark of immaturity. But I guess that makes me immature because I'm about to do so.
Am I a hypocrite for that? Could be, but I'm currently battling a cold/cough of epic magnitude and it has put me into a mood most sombre, and also most impulsive. Yes dear watchers and watcherettes, things are a little poor on the SpectorKnight's side of things. I've recently quit my part-time job and am now watching my financial reserves, such as they were, dwindle into insignificance. I can't write, either for Cargospace or for my own private projects and since this is my main creative outlet you might be able to imagine I'm feeling rather stifled. Or pent up. Or dangerously explosive.
My other venues of artistic expression have yielded similarly disappointing results. I haven't drawn anything for weeks, including the KOTOR characters I had promised to some of you. And I've had to cancel my Kiriban because no one caught it. Or even remembered it had been offered, possibly. And if they had I doubt I would have been able to work on it, so perhaps that was a blessing in disguise.
I've lost interest in micros (not permanently but this happens from time to time) and I'm dissatisfied with the non-work I'm doing with traditional art. I can't colour with pencils or photoshop, or sai, and my energy level is roughly on par with a hypothetical crossbreed between a three-toed-sloth and a common garden snail.
About the only thing that's not deserted me at this point is my wit, it seems.
So to get to the point of this journal, such as it is, I'm basically trying to communicate how rotten I feel and to try and get some of my issues and failings written down in public where I can be mocked and berated for them. Wait, that doesn't sound as good now as it did when I first thought of it.
Okay, so I'm not asking you, near-complete strangers who have little-to-no business or contact with me on anything more then a superficial basis, to shower me with praises and reassurances or anything, but I wouldn't refuse them if they came.
So cheer me up, darn it!

Shame 
So long story shot - STAY STRONG - all good things will come to you if you have the hope, faith and well being to not give into those negative thoughts and feelings. We all love you here on DA!
Now, for the cheering up! I have a few things that I do that may or may not help you:
1. Do some reading. Preferably a novel that you enjoy and can get lost in for a while, forget all the chaos going on around you.
2. Go to sleep. I always feel better after a good rest, and my mind is usually a bit clearer when I wake up.
3. Watch movies. Something funny that will make you laugh, or maybe just a great movie that you like.
4. Well, I can't really think of a number 4 right now, but I hope the other suggestions help... :c
Also, look at this: [link]
As for the suggestions 1) I was reading a book, but since I'm a voracious reader I finished it in a few days flat. I'd rather be writing my own book. 2) Sleep is getting better. I think I'm useless if I sleep in too late though. Must being to get up earlier then noon. 3) I have a...selective taste in movies. If I can find something I think I'd enjoy, I'll watch it. Mostly I love old musicals and black and white films. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Also that was hilairious. Thanks.
1. I hope you can start writing again, I want to write my own books, too. And reading a lot helps.
2. Yes, sleep well but not too much. Good idea.
3. I have a different taste, but yes, I know what you're talking about. c:
I'm glad it amused you! You're welcome~
And thanks for the kind words.
It helps to rant, and get out whats going on... sometimes the best place to do it is here, where, people read, comment then forget... its not so easy in real life.
I hope the cough goes away, hope the finances start increasing, and all the wonderful artist outlets that are out of your reach come back to you.
Best wishes, and lots of
