Hello everyone! I want to give my sincerest apologies for being so dead lately! I graduated from my university with a double-major about one month ago, now, but the sudden, magical flood of creative energy I was expecting to occur...never happened. Suffice to say, I have had loads of free time during the past month, don't even have a job yet, and I have been as productive as a snail. Granted, I have been playing Guild Wars 2 quite a bit, with some Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited thrown in, but I have not done much in the way of content that could be uploaded here. I still have many ideas of characters and such that I would love to be drawing again, but I have not felt motivated to actually sit down and draw...or ink...or color. ^^; But, this Journal entry is to let my Watchers and friends know that I am still alive and am still thinking of content to work on once I get the motivation.

On a more positive note, I have been able to write a bit! About a week ago, I finally was able to begin writing a fantasy story that I had been thinking about for approximately a year. It's entitled "Fireheart" and involves the Phoenix, Erif, that I have done a few drawings of here. I just began chapter 3 the other day. :) Unfortunately, I have decided that this will be a story that I will not post here on deviantART. And I want to add that I do still have an interest in my other stories, ones that some of my friends here are more familiar with; I just believe that, in order for me to be productive, I should jump upon whichever project I am most interested in working on at the moment, as opposed to forcing myself to work on something on which I am stuck. So the chances of me continuing my other stories are still there.

Finally, I mentioned that I don't have a job yet, but I do have two possible opportunities right now. Last week I had an interview for a job which would be very interesting, but it will take a while to hear anything back on the status of my application. Then I have a temporary job offer from the place on my university campus where I had worked for the past two years. Chances are I will accept that offer, but would probably want to leave it for the permanent job if I hear a "yes" from them.

Beyond all of this, I have been pretty lazy, though I have been starting to do some exercising, mainly light weights and walking. Although I do enjoy having all of this free time, I do still yearn for a job, to make an income and be productive. It feels so strange not being a student at university anymore, so my state of mind is kind of restless.

Oh! One final, geeky, note: As of yesterday, I finally completed my DVD collection of Star Trek: Voyager! I had been purchasing the season box sets from a bookstore in my state called Half Price Books, and had a lot of patience and determination in order to keep up the tradition of buying each and every season only from that store; only two seasons had to be transferred from another location. Very happy about that! I have watched the show basically every year, but now I will never have to rely upon Netflix to get my fix. ;)

Congrats on your graduation. ^^
Yeah, I'm in a similar boat with the drawing motivation too, except I don't
really have a proper atmosphere or place to draw. So writing is simply easier to do. Sweating a little...
Financial independence is quite a challenge. I hope I can make a living as a professional artist. ^^

Great to hear you got your Star Trek collections. It's always great to have a library of favorite things.
I'm actually a Star Wars fan myself, but I do enjoy the Star Trek shows. The best technology I thought was
ever created was the holo deck. man...I don't think anyone would ever come out of the holo room anytime soon. XD

All the female celebrities you could possibly date, or favorite anime and movies you could possibly live out.
That would be the ultimate role play. XD
