Lately I've been just sitting around playing video games when I get home. Which was nice for a while, but I've begun to feel like a lump. Wanna do something a little bit more productive. So I'm going to be taking the effort to try to draw for a bit every day.

Yesterday, I sat down with an artist friend of mine, and tried to OC with 'em but kinda choked, with an audience. I gotta get my confidence up a little bit more. My problem is still that I haven't ever been the 'doodle in my spare time' type before, not even as a kid. Even though I think I'm capable of being good at art, I just am not an 'artist' yet, I think.

So I've made the decision to try to practice a few times every week from here on out.

I'm gonna be posting a few things to FA in the next few days, I think. Hopefully I'll have some decent stuff!

I have been pretty distracted and quiet lately, but things have been going quite well, and I think I've finally got most of the real stress out of my life. College didn't really agree with me too well, towards the end. I had too much work and stress there.

I'm finally out of college! I didn't have time to rest afterwards though...I got a job right out of college, working for a software company. I really like the company I work at (Though I won't name it here. Don't want to make this journal at all about work), and I'm getting compensated quite well. They treat their employees very nicely.

I like working a lot better than I liked school. I can leave work at work, instead of having to bring it home with me. When I had to do that, I would procrastinate because I didn't want to do the work, but I wouldn't be able to concentrate on enjoying myself because I'd feel bad over procrastinating. So I ended up just sitting there doing nothing, not enjoying myself, and eating up time that should have been used better. With work, none of this is an issue. I'm a lot less stressed, though I have a bit less time online.

I need to get back into some more productive things in my spare time, rather than playing games, like I have been. I want to try to program my own game, practice art, and many other things. I'll post progress about some of these personal projects, and share some art (I'll be trying to post things on FA), and such like that.

I'll be trying my best to stick with writing here, this time. I'm pretty bad about sticking with this sometimes. Later!

This is Nekora again; I have a new LiveJournal account.

To any who have found this Journal (Likely because I've asked you to add me), I've changed over from my old Journal because there were people from my real life who knew about the old account. I try to keep things relatively separate nowadays, so i just changed to a different account.

This way I can talk about things and have friends and just not care about what real-life people might see. This will hopefully provide me with more impetus to keep on writing here, and perhaps use it as a social pressure source to keep practicing my art and such (Which I have REALLY let slack off). I'll try to write more here and share my doodlings and such!
