im a bit late replying, bear w/me ha ha
inktober is interesting; ive never participated since ive never been much of an inker but iirc u dont rly have 2 try & struggle 2 pound out the work every day; theres leeway; if u miss a day or whatever, u make it up & continue on; its definitely like nanowrimo, like says, just... ink media instead LOL
the rules are loosey goosey
i feel it on disliking inking; its not my fav either which is... why i never participate
i like colouring most; i could colour all day; but that requires having done the actual... drawing part 1st
i want the magic ability 2 already have the drawing part done every time so i can just go straight 2 colour
pls & ty
im still all flustered over ur offer but im def had time 2 consider & id rly appreciate it if ur still willing
--
as 4 me, ill probs be attempting nano this year
i havent managed 2 successfully complete 1 since i was a teen & wasnt sick
im rly rly hoping i can do it bc i want badly 2 shake off the rust & i want 2 get back into the writing groove
my new phone has rly helped me so far in doing little bursts of things (& in just keeping in contact w/ppl in general which is writing all on its own even if thats a different sort!)
i even actually managed 2 write a dumb little stream of consciousness thing 4 my roommate the other night (& am working on another related 1 v slowly) from some prompts they gave me
it was a lot of fun tho im 2 embarrassed 2 rly show it anywhere
That's a great idea! I do my coloring with colored pencils (I love my Prismacolors) and they'd probably be able to cover it too. But better not get ahead of myself; it's unlikely I'll draw too many things that end up worthy of coloring anyway. XD
I've never done or looked into NaNoWriMo, although I've heard about it for years, because I just don't really feel any drive to do creative writing at this point. At least, not anything I'd share with anyone ever. Which is why I think it's funny I've been aware of NaNo for so long but I'm only just now hearing about Inktober, which is more relevant to my interests. I used to write a metric crapton when I was a teenager; I kept what most people would call a journal but I didn't really write about my day. I filled it with all kinds of profound teen philosophical garbage ramblings lol; I also had a very dear OC I wrote about (to this day, I have a pet here dedicated to him, but I'll never actually put up his story)...it was a huge part of my day to write pages and pages in a compilation that ended up spanning multiple large binders. But I destroyed it all when I got married because I would have been mortified if it had been found. I regret that, although if I had it to review now, I'm sure it would just make me cringe. But I wrote a lot of it "to my future self" and now here I am in the future and I can't read it...oops. Oh well, neither the first time nor the worst time my future self has let down my past self. In any case, I think I've got all the creative writing I'll ever do out of my system.
Lol I really hate coloring...I'm also afraid I'll screw that up so it stresses me out to no end (although I'm pretty much always happy with the end result). The only part of drawing I really do enjoy is penciling because I can fix that when it goes wrong. I guess that's why my best drawings are pencil-only...and part of why I do so little art. It's just so painful to do, really. X'D
I tried today while I was at work, I really did. Looked up the prompt. "Sword" - ok, neat. Drew a sword, ink - no pencil sketch. So far, so good. But that's boring. Got ambitious and decided to draw a dragon holding a sword...well, that didn't go well at all. Probably gonna have nightmares about that abomination of a "dragon" chasing me down and demanding to be drawn better. See, I shoulda drawn it in pencil first so I could just erase it. lol
Anyway, good luck with NaNo if you do it! :)
(Ok and yeah, I see that my posts are practically becoming novels in themselves even though I say I don't want to write. Sorry lol)

replying 2 ur post here 1st, then the post from the other thread below that!
SPOILER (click to toggle)
1st post
i cant think of a time i wasnt ever not writing; i was like that though! i had journals full of teenage junk also ha ha; i was writing & drawing since i was little; i definitely heard of nano bf inktober
i feel it ab destroying the things u created & then regretting later; theres a lot i did that w/bc i felt it was 2 "cringe" & now its like, well sure it was awful but... that was still stuff i put so much love & time into
now i just let my partner hoard everything so i dont fall into that trap again
srry that you struggled so much with the prompt! i find if im struggling i do try 2 think outside the word as a literal interpretation--something holding a sword seems like a good start 2 me even if it didnt turn out like u wanted!!
thanks 4 the well wishes C:
nah nah thats fine if the posts get long; if ur worried ab length, just slip them under spoiler cuts C: thats what i do
that helps me feel way less anxious & self conscious

2nd post:
RE pokego plus: well sort of! its... complicated
by complicated i mean buggy as hell & throws fits
its supposed to be that way, but rly it only tends to work on the actual gyms & only sometimes works on the stops; its still better than nothing & the driver has 2 be aware of them (aka i have 2 yell excitedly @ my partner HEY THERES A STOP HOLD UP A SEC & try not 2 do that if theres a lotta traffic lol); i catch most of them when we slowing down by lights then say... full speed through highways or through green lights, if that makes sense
but oh yeah the speed limiter is annoying & the constant "u going 2 fast, stop being a passenger" popup is bonkers
RE: not jumping in straight away: no, no, i get it; i felt that way also; i eventually just had 2 push myself in2 jumping in & starting & not every1 can do that; i certainly couldnt 4 the longest time
its thanks 2 a few folks on here i was even able 2, so like
hopefully ive been able 2 return the favour & pass it on making it a little less intimidating
RE: the inspo discussion: i hate losing that spark; i rly feel it ab having the zing of !!!! all of a sudden & then as soon as u finally have the moment 2 do something ab it... oh there it goes bye
i have no idea how ppl manage & i get told stuff like discipline & bulling thru & just "doing it anyway" but idk i just cant; its not the same when it comes 2 inspiration as it is applying it to like, social situations or 2 that homework or whatever SHRUG
RE: fav tv shows: gosh im all over the place; i dont rly have access 2 cable, just streaming services when we can pay 4 them, so im always behind on whatevers showing; i tend 2 gravitate to food, horror, whodunits, or dramas tho; i also love a lot of different anime esp if its epic fantasy or some sort of NEVER GIVE UP NEVER SAY DIE shonen-esque with bonuses of found family messages in it
a couple ive enjoyed in the past:
- walking dead (before they did a bunch of stuff that pissed me off & made me lose interest thats super spoilerish but my GOSH did i love some of the characters so much & also ZOMBIES)
- one punch man
- BNHA
- bones
- a billion food network shows like chopped, masterchef, cutthroat kitchen, etc.
- b99
- CSI & all its various spin-offs
- House ... etc.
My dollar store literally pushed the Halloween articles in the last aisles to bring the christmas things at first sight. I'm just literally so salty and angry. Why would you shove this rn when the spook has not even spooken yet ??! Plus, there are barely any Halloween items. How unfortunature q____q; I'm so angry why would you do that. What has Halloween done to you, Christmas.
G O D so thats what u meant
like
CHILL
ITS STILL THE 1ST WK OF OCTOBER, EVEN
GIVE US THE SPOOKIES
If you do decide to NaNo, let me know! My group I plan events for is mostly online, and we welcome people from all different regions into our chat. The chat's been helpful for me being motivated to write.
Also, Far: That's dumb they already moved Halloween stuff D: Our store has an aisle for Halloween and an aisle for Christmas, which is OK. I think they put Christmas stuff out at the same time as Halloween stuff though, which I thought was strange!
I haven't used colored pencils in my personal art in agessss. I've used them some when teaching. I should try to use them again sometime.
That's what I meant. It's abolute hell. Why would you push away the spook? q___q All I want is for the spook to stay ... forever! (also I cannot wait for Morostide)
Even on Youtube, people are like "first buy for christmas!" and I'm just shook lmao. Maybe I don't like christmas because we are always broke and alone during that time haha.
Well. I'm definitely not doing NaNo unless school is chill. I can write fairly quick and easily if I'm inspired. I can mostly do prompts. Long stories are something else ...
That's a good idea and a great thing that you have a partner you can entrust with your creations. :D Unfortunately, I don't trust anyone to do that for me, although obviously I can't even be trusted myself so eh, whatever. Can't trust the sun to burn forever either, so what does it really matter? :P The one entity I've found you can really depend on to preserve your stuff for you is the internet (for better or worse). I have various accounts across different sites that are so full of cringe I can't even bring myself to go deal with them, but I guess that's ok (and even if I deleted the accounts, a certain amount of it will never really go away of course). Our internet presence sort of makes us immortal in a way, and I guess it's better to exist indefinitely in a cringey way than to leave no trace at all. I guess. Maybe I could be convinced of that, anyway. lol
Nah, the prompt wasn't the problem (I've drawn cool things with swords before), I just wasn't feeling it at the time. Like I said, if I'm not feeling it, it ain't gonna happen. haha
Oh, it's disappointing (yet unsurprising) to hear that it's so buggy. I guess I'll forget about it then. I don't know how much longer I'm really going to play anyway; I've been trying really hard to at least hit one stop and catch one Pokemon every day to keep up my streaks but I kinda feel like Niantic is doing their damnedest to ruin the game. First with the speed limiters and popups (ok, I get it, gotta avoid liability and litigation, I can overlook it even though it's annoying) but then they introduced this raid system. Ugh, it's no fun at all. I've shown up for several raids in my area and found that I was the only one there, and I can't take down anything worth bothering with all by myself so I had to give up on that. I hate when teamwork is made a necessary component of a game because I'm a loner, let me do things by myself and stop making me feel like a loser because I have no friends to play with lol. This might have been cool if it was part of the game from the beginning because there were SO MANY people playing a year ago it wouldn't have been a problem, but I'm like the only weirdo still playing in my area apparently.
Oh you definitely "passed it on" then because look, you got me talking. Just look what you've done. I'll never shut up now! Mwahahahaaa! :P
I'm glad you understand, I wasn't sure if that was just me or what. Cuz yeah, most people seem to think that if you can be creative once in a while, you should be able to crank stuff out any old time on demand. I know some people can and that is amazing, but I am not one of those people. I can't do requests. I'm not good at working with other people's ideas. That's why prompts don't really work too well for me...it might be a perfectly fine concept and maybe even something I'm interested in, but it isn't likely to really inspire me if I didn't come up with it on my own. So I mean, I'll do some Inktober stuff but they are going to be crappy doodles, not likely to result in anything I'm proud of. I'm sure crappy doodles are still good practice though.
Oh man, I really want to watch The Walking Dead but for some reason I just never get started. I don't know why. I hope I don't get pissed off at it lol (you're not the first I've heard complaints about it from) but I'll still give it a go. For some reason I really do put off watching things though, usually until the whole series is over (which works out well because I'd rather binge it all than wait for episodes to come out, but avoiding spoilers is hard). CSI is cool although I've never made any effort to watch it seriously, but whenever I've caught it on it has been interesting. Same with House, I really like it whenever I've happened to catch it (of course, because did I mention I love jerks? Especially jerks who are always right. haha) but I haven't seen every episode. Have never happened to see Bones but I bet I'd like it too. I guess I'll add those shows to my list to watch. I don't have cable either but I find ways around that. You know, like going to my dad's house to watch stuff, perfectly legitimate ways like that. :P
I've never gotten into any anime except there is this one that I encountered called Battle Angel Alita and it really intrigues me. Unfortunately, they only ever made two episodes from the manga (which I've never read, just read about). I guess there's supposed to be a movie coming next year; I hope so, I'll be watching for it.
UGH I hate that too! There was another thread in the chat forum or something where I ranted about that, but yeah, can't stand it when they push the Xmas stuff before Halloween is even over. I realize I'm biased because I much prefer Halloween (it's my favorite day of the year by far), but I used to be able to enjoy the Xmas season too before retailers ruined it by pushing it into the wrong season. I wish that kind of marketing would backfire on them (I mean, it sure makes ME resent the heck out of it) but it apparently works or they wouldn't do it. Bah, humbug.
Oh, what do you use mostly? They're the only thing I've ever really used to color with. Never got the hang of doing real art with markers (they never cooperate for me) and while I've dabbled in digital art, I'm most comfortable with traditional. I've been thinking about getting a tablet again though; I used to have one years ago and that was pretty nice.

Yeah 50k is a whole lot of words. Have you done Camp NaNo where you can set your own goal?
Markers or pens lately! I don't color things a whole lot lately but when I do, markers are usually my go to. I like how saturated I can get the colors without spending a ton of time, so color splashes are quick and easy. My girlfriend has a tablet and I use it occasionally. But she uses her computer all the time and my laptop lags really badly if I use the tablet on it, so it's not always convenient to use. I would like to get better at digital art though.
All right, I promise I'm going to acquaint myself with the spoiler tag next time I write that much. I had no idea it was gonna be such a wall of text. ._. Maybe I should practice now lol
SPOILER (click to toggle)
I've seen things colored with markers that look amazing (actually that's how my best friend IRL colors everything) but I always end up with those overlapped places that look bad no matter how careful I am, haha. It's frustrating. Hm, I'm not sure my laptop would be able to handle a tablet very well either, it's a few years old and getting sluggish. I've been mulling around getting a new computer soon though so I guess being able to use a tablet is just one more reason to do it.
Response from the other thread
Sorry about your garden woes, those people sound terrible. I know it's hard to ignore crap like that but when I run into such foul attitudes, I just remind myself that what those people think really doesn't matter; their ignorant opinions are irrelevant. I know that doesn't make it any easier when you are forced to share space and interact with them though. I'm afraid I don't have any advice because my "solution" would probably be to just not use the community garden and that's a shitty solution cuz you have as much right to be there as anyone. (My neighbors have hated me since literally the day I moved in for reasons beyond my control and my reaction has been just to minimize the time I spend outside and creep around in the dark whenever possible if I must do something outside. But then, that's my natural behavior anyway. shrug) Is there anyone who oversees those things in case of conflict? I've never been involved in a community garden, so I have no idea how they work. But bullies obviously shouldn't be allowed to harass others in there.
I feel the same way about pushy proselytizers. Personally, I just never answer the door unless I know it's someone I want to talk to so I rarely end up engaging with them. My husband did something I thought was pretty awesome though... One time, this pair of JW ladies came to our door and he answered. They wanted to spread the good news about Jeezus and whatnot to us, and he told them we're atheist but we'd listen to their spiel if they'd agree to listen to his...about veganism. They actually agreed, so we invited them in and they did their little talk and handed us their leaflets and true to their word, they also stuck around for the vegan conversation. Which my husband did a good job of tying into their religious position, as well (if Jesus is all about love and reducing suffering, you know...). I'm sure they left no more convinced to stop eating meat than we ended up convinced to start believing in Jehovah, but it was a really good conversation and I was super proud of him for it because I'm way too chicken to do something like that. At the very least, they got a little taste of their own medicine. Woohoo, petty revenge!
Anyway, yeah, it sounds like they might have gotten on your case extra because as someone into Wicca, you might be the one thing scarier to them than an atheist (and there are so very few groups more distrusted than atheists). So they probably felt extra desperation to save your soul, all the while seeing it as justification to be extra rude and judgmental. Like I said, their opinions are utterly irrelevant; as far as their behavior, I hope something can be done about that and maybe if you just keep tending your garden and doing your thing they'll give up and back off. In any case, never forget that you do have the right to use that space and feel safe there.

My laptop could handle a little bamboo tablet at a time. I might need to get a new laptop soon anyways. This is a cheap one that's lasted me like 3+ years and through my Master's degree. I could link my Instagram for some examples of my art, if you're interested! I've done Inktober every day but have a backlog of pictures to take. My house has poor lighting so sometimes I miss the right time of day to take photos and then keep putting it off ha
I JUST acquainted MYself with the spoiler tags yesterday, as well!! I'm glad I realized it's not that hard to do, so here goes and I'm going to try to put the title in, and hope I do it right.
Response to Atomic
So, actually I am not up to responding right at this moment, but I wanted to thank you and say that everything you said was helpful and meaningful and very much appreciated. I have come down with a cold and sore throat. I almost NEVER get sick like this, but the combo of pushing myself really hard, physically, lately,to try to participate in life more, beyond sitting here at my desk, PLUS the incident, was a sort of deadly combo. So, I think that made me sick and if the "thing" hadn't happened my immune system would have warded it off. I am fragile in my joints, etc. but NOT in my immune system. So, thanks again and I hope to be more responsive soon. There is another element of all of this that I did not mention, because it wouldn't be PC to do so, but perhaps in a private note I will, or perhaps I'll let go of it. I don't know. I want to say more now, but just need to rest and even typing can be exhausting.
Editing: Oh, wow, that worked and so I'm adding a bit. Again, I thank you VERY much. I sat here at my desk, yesterday from about 10 AM to 6 PM and was so upset that I didn't eat and barely drank any water, or anything . . . and I usually drink a LOT of water . . . and today I am headed into doing that same thing (cause I'm still upset) but I'm going to try to get up and do some little things. I have stuff I need to do, phone calls I need to make, etc. (and a little bit of cooking before the vegetables go bad) I guess I DO want to say ONE thing about what you said to me, and it's just to clarify that I really DO try to not let other people "get" to me, but I'm sort of trapped here so I'm trying to "get along with others" and at the same time be myself (not fold myself up, but instead claim MY identity and BE myself, but being myself ends up inviting controversy, when I'm JUST trying to BE me and NOT sit around acting like someone that I am NOT).
I am not well enough, or physically independent enough to get AWAY from my apt. complex. I used to walk all over and ride the bus places but I am trapped in a suburban sprawl and surrounded by strip malls and it's WAY different than the place I lived before (downtown/midtown Sacramento where the progressive people live, near the University) so I am VERY at odds here. I used to be able to walk out my door and find like-minded people, but THIS is a fucking dessert (and a lot of Republicans, I think, too--based on the fact that the state assembly member from this district was a Republican when I first moved here)
. . . and I WAS only coming out at night (for years) but recently I was trying to get out and get some sun and it was helping me to feel better physically, but it's SO challenging because it's NOT my time of day and I really don't feel WELL enough to be around people during the day. So last night I was out there at midnight (in my "pajama" clothes) watering my stuff, which felt somewhat pathetic, sigh.
I like these spoiler tags - making everything tidy
Nice, sounds like it has performed its function, anyway! I've had my laptop for a couple years and it was used government surplus when I got it so I wasn't sure I could expect too much out of it. It has been far superior to the desktop dinosaur I was using before it so I'm not complaining (it's just too bad that the backlight started going out not long after I got it, and a couple months ago I finally had to plug in an external monitor, so I can't take it to work anymore, boo).
Yes, by all means, of course I'd love to see your artwork! And as long as we're sharing, a lot of mine is here if you're interested. There's a big chunk missing though since for a few years most of my more recent art went to my screen printing business and I didn't want to upload that stuff. Lol, I know the struggle of poor lighting...I just uploaded my newest thing I was talking about there but I really couldn't get a good picture of it to save my life so I finally gave up and submitted what I got, oh well.
This got kinda whiny so I dunno, TW for whiny stuff
If you want to smail me about it, please do! And don't worry, I'm not...particularly PC myself, about some things. haha. Or if you don't want to say any more about it, that's fine too. (BTW I know I still owe you a big reply. D:) I'm glad you found something helpful in what I said. I wish I had more answers though...for both you and for myself. Your problem sounds very familiar to me..."being myself" doesn't seem to earn me any points with anyone else either. I pretty much oscillate between wishing I could just be normal and fit in and make friends, and deciding everybody sucks and I prefer to be alone anyway so whatever. I am lucky to live in a place that is definitely on the more progressive end of the spectrum though (folks here are either liberal or mostly just don't seem to give a shit so I'm pretty much ignored at least, as opposed to being outright antagonized). I'm sorry you live in a place that is less tolerant. I can only imagine how awful that must be. I do know the feel of finally working up the courage to reach out and just getting slapped back down again and how devastating that is. I guess that's what causes the oscillation: I feel isolated, I wish I had a friend to do something with (some things are just more fun with company), I reach out, get denied, remember people suck and retreat back into my hidey-hole until the misguided desire to reach out builds again. It's a vicious circle. (The whole gender-identity thing is probably my biggest obstacle. I can't even begin to relate to the women I encounter, and men don't want to have anything to do with me because they just see me as an awkward girl - I'm either not attractive or available enough to them to bother with or I make them nervous just because I have boobs, could be either or both, I'm not sure, but it's something like that). Dudebros, I actually would love to just hang out and play video games and drink beer with you, why can't I just be one of the guys?) Well, I'm talking about myself too much but really just trying to emphasize that I think I understand your problem to some degree...I just don't have any solutions for it. Aside from signing up to colonize Mars or the Moon, which I would absolutely do in a heartbeat. I don't want to live on this planet anymore...it's pretty neat that not doing so might actually be a possibility in my lifetime. That IS incredibly encouraging. :P

haha yeah i suppose the internet does preserve some things; ive purged most of my old stuff, & time has done the rest; i dont doubt theres lingering things though in spite of that waiting in crevasses since u cant scrub it all unless u rly know what ur doing & i sure dont.
its a good lil device 4 what it is but i def dont recommend buying it thinking itll be a magical cure-all, yeah...
i feel it ab not having any1 around; our town is tiny; its pretty much me & my roommate; theres a local discord community but they spend more time bickering than playing, so raids hardly ever get organised, & its like u said, after so much time has passed w the game being out, a lotta folk have lost interest anyway.
im glad i helped u come out of ur shell a bit 2; i know the mods around here have talked ab how every1 in this group has their reasons for being quiet or silent, & this is a place 4 that 2 be ok & every1 2 talk & interact @ their own pace.
u know, i even thought of another show i watch but between then & now i lost it (ofc) so all i can say is i hope u enjoy the 1s i mentioned when u get around 2 them; nbd if u dont tho C:
anime is definitely a thing that u either love or dont; i fell headfirst into it in my teen yrs & never rly fell out.
ive never done a camp or a group chat for nano, but i suppose theres a first time for everything!
...as long as its okay that i might be as sporadic there as i am in chats like this?
man between all the stuff u doin 4 the event & ur classes u must be so exhausted on writing lol
Hides behind spoiler
No worries, there's a lot going on right now with the Morostide stuff and whatnot! Plus your own personal things, and those are more important.
Yeah, I'm afraid to even look into it. I'm sure more of my awkweird self has been preserved than I'd prefer, and I doubt there's much I can do about it. And yet, I continue to put out the cringe. Whatever, I don't know how to be uncringey. This is me. The universe can deal with it (by ignoring, as usual...there are seven and a half billion of us, who cares what little old me does). :P
Well, if you think of it, feel free to let me know. I can tell you for now, I'm into Star Trek: Discovery, AHS: Cult, BCS, R&M, Vikings, The Grand Tour...I can't think of any other current shows I'm invested in. I like some other stuff but it's over so there's no point in bringing it up now I guess lol.
Dunno what to say about anime. I like that one I mentioned, but I've never investigated any others. So I don't have any strong feelings about anime. I'm ridiculously contrarian like that though (sorry, it's unintentional)...I'll try to look up more and form a real opinion about it. lol

I officialy dislike/hate/loathe my neighbours and tbh 2019 cannot come fast enough. I'm tired of the aggressive-passive-aggressive attitude and the sheer fear of just not busting up (out of anger).
You've stolen my mom's sacred rosary.
I hope karma bites you in the ASS.
(that's a bit of a rant. A gentle rant?)
Not really? I'm almost used to it after a strong 5 years of college. Plus, writing for the group has been much more interesting than writing an analysis on how poorly I've done during my intervention last week. @ Sunflower
I hope I don't seem pushy about NaNo! It's just been a big part of my life for the last few years and I just like to make sure people have the opportunity to enjoy it D: Camp is a more casual NaNoWriMo during the Spring/Summer months (it's been in various months April to July, but it's usually May & June) where you pick your own goal. It can be any goal, either, so some people prefer it to the 50k of November.
Yeah, totally! We have a forum, but also a chatroom, and people post when they can. I'm usually there all the time because of being an organizer for events, but we totally welcome people to pop in as they can.
It certainly did! I had put off getting a new one for a few months, and I felt so disconnected with the world when I didn't have it lol. Nice!! It looks really great. You have great linework. That's really cool you have a screen printing business! I've watched people screen print and tried some DIY printing techniques with art students. It seems challenging. I'm . I'm, like, 6 days behind on uploading my drawings haha. I don't have a TON of art up right now, glancing through it, because I got out of the habit of sharing my art for awhile, too. Mostly after I stopped using DeviantArt in college, actually.
Ooh, cool stuff! My favorites are your "space empress" and the green octopus. The neon jellyfish is really pretty too! I hope you upload more of your artwork.
Thank you! :) Oh, I don't actually do screen printing anymore. I found out for sure I can't come up with art on demand for money; it just stresses me out and demotivates me. I already knew that anyway but it was my husband's idea (more like insistence) to start a business and I don't live with him anymore. It was a neat opportunity though and in retrospect I wish I had tried harder, but since the whole venture was predicated on what had become quite an unhealthy and dysfunctional relationship (which was really messing up my head and making it even harder to be creative), it was doomed to failure anyway. Eh. Screen printing is a really neat process though, and I still wear mostly shirts I designed. It's like getting to have a bunch of my own CWs in real life haha.

Thank you! C: I definitely will, it's probably mostly a matter of when I stop being lazy and do it haha.
Yeah, I know that's a challenge for a lot of people who make art! I'd love to find a way to make art for a living, but I also wouldn't want it to ruin the experience for me. SO, who knows haha. That makes sense about why the business didn't work out, and it's good you're away from that relationship! Do you do any screen printing now? Or did you get rid of the supplies? That's really cool to still have the shirts you designed, though :0
