So it was apparently trying to run updates after I put it to sleep? Yeah, no, I didn't approve any updating whatsoever, but it supposedly got stuck because I had a program installation window open when putting the darn thing into sleep mode. This PC in particular won't let me install diddly squat unless my dad types in his password, so it's not like I had a choice. Maybe I did? Who knows, I'm too tired to think about it honestly. X'D
Well, the only good news is that my PC is not dead and functioning normally. Ol' poopscreen here isn't pushing daisies yet! Thank you for your assistance and suggestions in my previous journal. ;u; I truly appreciate it!
Also, I'm giving you all a heads up. I may be going on a short break from internet activity. This is the final stretch for me, the last semester of my High School days, and it's not looking too hot right now. I've got a couple of F's in key courses I need to finish if I'm to have enough credits to graduate. I've already got my robe, hat, and tassle; it sits on my desk beside my bed, and I see it every day. Just sitting there in gleaming white, begging to be released from its plastic cover and be worn on a day to celebrate. I don't want that thing to wait an entire year before I use it, so I'll need to set aside all of my distractions to have more time in my day to work on my 8+ classes. Thankfully, nearly all of my classes are at passing grades, but I need to get the low ones up on par with the rest. My mother is heavily fixated on those two F's and won't stop nagging me about them, dear lord. For as long as I have those F's, I have no life according to her, so I gotta tighten the focus sash on my head and get crunching.
I apologize for any inactivity in these upcoming months. I will try to visit every here and there to reply to comments and things, perhaps post a poll or two to show life. After Spring Break, I will most likely become silent.
Thank you for reading!

Doing good! +Progress Update
Yo gang! Another update here! New job is going very well! I'm in my fifth week now, and I'm still loving it. Finally getting into the groove with things at said job, and slowly getting my writing and drawing mojo back! DotS:MMM is undergoing a rewrite in the middle of its story due to massive lore changes, and I'm slowly piecing it together! I'm drastically shortening what I had before because good grief it was a lot. I often forget that I can't write a comic like I can a show, which can afford to be more drawn out. And for once my problem child isn't the cause for massive rewriting LOL But yes, I'm doing okay! This week at work is fairly lazy due to a lull season at the shop, but it's granted me extra time to work on hobby things and chip away at ideas I also now have a full set of crochet hooks, and oodles of yarn! I'll be able to start some pretty epic projects soon, which I may share here if there's interest for that! I finally got the yarns I wanted for a special project just
DotS:MMM + Life update (genuine)
I'm aware of the date I'm posting this, but I assure this is a genuine news update since it's been a while! I don't do April Fool's pranks Quick update for today! I'm 2 weeks into a new job and about to enter my 3rd, and so far I'm loving this job, my co-workers, and my bosses! It's a fun, kind environment, and the customers are almost always very pleasant (I've only dealt with one genuinely unpleasant character so far, and that was nothing to me LOL). I just got my first paycheck too, and celebrated with it! I'm still settling into this job, so a lot of my script work and comic stuff in general has been on a grand pause as I get into the rhythm of this new life change of mine. It might take me a while to fully settle into it. I'm still in shock and disbelief that I have this job, since I've been unemployed for so long! I still reel in bewilderment that this is my reality now. I'm grateful for it! DotS:MMM is still under reconstruction in the background as I settle into this job and
DotS:MMM news -March '24 edition
Hi hello— DotS:MMM is undergoing massive story cuts behind the scenes because it sorta snowballed into too much for me to handle, and currently too overwhelming for what's supposed to be a mini-series This editing is sorta eating up my time for actually drawing any more pages, but I'm glad I've had this break from producing pages to see just how utterly overwhelming the project as a whole has become With the current amount of pages and chapters I've had scripted, it's over 170 pages long That's waaayyyyyy too much for just a mini series, so I'm cutting whole chapters out, and I will have to change the titles of the chapters that remain Once I finish cleaning it all up, I'll share with you guys the scrapped chapters and some of my original plans for each one! Comic's still well and alive! There's a lot going on behind the scenes! In personal news, I'm looking to get into a trade school since finding employment has been a complete nightmare for me. I'm hoping that some
Extension upon postponing
Hey gang! Quick journal this time Frankly I have not felt up to drawing and forcing myself into a grind. I need to pace myself and not feel like this is an obligation. I started feeling like I had to make pages to keep up the pace and not disappoint, but that started to really ebb at my enjoyment of making this comic This is my hobby, and not my job. Nobody pays me to make these. I make this because I like it and want to tell a story. Something I have to constantly remind myself, despite the pressure of disappointing my readers with my inconsistency. These days I draw in bursts and end up losing my stamina because I become emotionally overwhelmed My energy is still fickle. I'm bombarded with overwhelming negativity at home from various sources, including personal stress and depression caused by my current life situation. What I make to decompress shouldn't be a stresser either I'll continue to chip away at finishing these pages for DotS:MMM Part One, but it will be at my own pace. I'll post again once I feel ready and satisfied enough with how many pages I have in hand. Deadlines stress me out and kill my motivation to draw. Again it makes me feel obligated to do this stuff, to make it instead of just being something I enjoy and have fun with Also Orpheus decided to worm his way in, so now I have to rewrite some scripts to as well fix a tremendous continuity error that Orpheus has come in to correct. This man makes me rewrite everything, I swear omg You'll see what I mean in later parts of DotS:MMM Thank you guys as always for your patience! 💖

That's good to hear. Glad it's back to normal now. And I completely understand how you're gonna need a break. School can get pretty tough, especially senior year. So anyway, I wish you good luck!
