Time for yet another "I'm alive guys, no really" journal.

Personal updates: Almost done with my technical writing certificate (I hope--this program has been a pain); not sure what I'll be doing after that education-wise. Still can't get a job, and conflicting advice leaves me confused as to what exactly I should be looking for/applying for. I still don't really know what I want to do with my life, or how to get there. Family issues are currently making me a bit stressed out. You know. The usual.

Oh, but on the bright side, I managed to work out most of my computer errors! I have no idea what it was or what I did, but it works basically normally now. I still have a few irritating errors, but at least I can turn my computer on and off normally.

Art-wise, I'm still focusing mainly on the Crystal Championships stuffs I've been doing lately. It's been a pretty bleah year art-wise--nothing has felt really right for a long time. I definitely hope I feel a bit more inspired next year. I do love Frankie's character though, so at least that's fun.

Also, any writers among my watchers? I'd like to get more into writing--I've done NaNoWriMo twice, but I'd like to make writing a more regular habit. The problem is I get so dang nervous and insecure! I just can't get started on anything, I start berating myself before I'm anywhere near the keyboard/notebook. The only reason I can do NaNoWriMo is I just type without looking back, but then I'm too scared to ever read it. Any advice?

So yeah, that's me. Sorry for sounding like a negative nancy, I'm just a bit stressed at the moment. How are you guys?
