Hey. This is "Blue" Kristi, here. Holy moley, has it really been six months already...?

You may have noticed that the output here has dropped dramatically in the past month or so. There's really no other explanation than that I just really haven't had the energy to focus on concentrated pieces of art. I think some of this has something to do with personal issues (diet, sleep, school, whatever), but some of it is that the initial thrill of writing stories and making pictures on one over-arching DeviantART account (I've got about five or six of them floating out there somewhere... Honestly, I've forgotten the names of all the rest of them...) has worn off.

I think this is normal for most people as it relates to most hobbies. And because I don't do this for any sort of material, financial, and personal gain (aside from your wonderful comments, of course!), that provides less of an incentive to actually sit down and draw or write or whatever. It doesn't help that I'm an innately lazy and easily distracted person to begin with.

However, one thing that I've always done, especially when I'm bored or tired, is doodle. I could honestly (and have) doodle all the live-long day if I could. And I can do this while doing other things, too. So I've decided to create a journal of sorts on this account, a Visual Journal, which are not different from my usual doodles, except that I'm collecting them every day (or at least I'll try to), and I guess they have a little more structure and focus than usual, so they may be slightly autobiographic. Just go to the appropriate folder to see what's new.

I'm not planning to abandon my SCP and other writings and works; There are still stories that I've got in my head and just need to type out. In particular, there's at least one more Dog Days of Spring story I want to write. If anything, the Visual Journal project will help generate new ideas for other things. I also want to consolidate all of my old work onto this account, except perhaps the shockingly bad stuff (although maybe I'll just put those under "Scraps")! That's what the Archives folder was originally created for.

Thanks for reading (although if you read this far, that really wasn't necessary. Sorry), and I hope everybody else is doing well.
