D: How on Earth did I just realize how I've been neglecting my deviantart?? Oh dear, oh dear...Well, I suppose that I have a couple reasons. I'll tell you why, but I'll also promise to keep on working, because that's what I want to do the most!!

While school was in session and the AP Tests were bearing down hard on my nerves and time, I stopped all other work to focus myself on making it through the tests and on to the effortlessness of the remaining school days. However, even after the tests were over and done with, I continued to struggle with other things...So I never really got around to reinstating myself into a mood in which I could draw carefree as I normally do.

Now, since summer has started, I've continued to focus a lot on college things, as well as getting a job and obtaining my driver's license. Not to mention I've been trying really hard to get together with friends. This is my last summer before college, and I'd like to make it count, and I'd also like to stay as far away from my summer slump into depression as I can (since I usually find it hard to compose myself for whatever reason in the summer months). I've taken up trying to exercise as best I can and get in shape before school begins again and I've been doing chores around the house to keep my mother happy. I've also been watching "One Piece" to keep myself busy other times. At the moment I'm on episode 128 of nearly 400, so I've got a ways to go, and I intend to finish before summer's up.

I have drawn, but for some reason, I can't ever get to a scanner AND also remember that I have things to scan. Such a predicament...

I have a couple things on my computer right now, but I would need to fix them up a WHOLE LOT before I could post them in good conscience, so I don't know when that will happen. Recently, too, I have decided to try drawing One Piece fanart (that is, if I can ever emulate the artist's style well enough or find a style in my personal database that fits it well enough to get by), so you may expect that in the future.

Sorry for being so distant these past few months! I also need to work on my comic...Once I posted that last page I lost four fans... Q_Q S-so...I'm trying. I would love to forget everything and just draw, but that seems impossible. I wonder if it's only me freaking out about everything all the time, but I guess that's just who I am. I'm a worrier.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, if you did, and if you'd like to give me a little burst of confidence, that would be more than appreciated. Love you guys~!
