You know that enthusiastic, excited journal entry that I put up back in June? The one that said things were looking up, and that I would be able to start submitting and commenting again soon?

Murphy's Law apparently had other things to say.

To make a long story short, I got a new job, working first shift at a factory, and then began having computer issues (namely, that it was beginning to need a wheelchair and a break for bingo at three in the afternoon). Time slipped away from me, and so did my deviantART account.

As it stands now, I have a few things to submit, and maybe a little more time to commit to reading comments and answering to the favorites I receive. The work that I'm going to be posting does not have the time invested in it that earlier pieces have, as I simply haven't had the hours and hours that it takes for me to finish an elaborate color pencil drawing. Hopefully this will change soon as well, as the season changes and more hours of daylight are available for working.

I am thankful for the support that I have been given, I just cannot hope to respond to every single favorite individually at the time. Please do not think it rude if I'm not able to drop you a line!

Here's to a new year, new work, and good friends.
