Whoa, it's already November...

Life at present seems to be intent on putting me through the blender, as it were. I don't feel like going on and on or ranting about it right now; I am already drained of energy and motivation, and don't exactly feel like getting all whiny to my watchers. :/

So I'm just going to focus on the stuff that I'm busy with or doing right now, in case anyone was curious about the goings-on of my crazy life.

Also, why I am not uploading a whole bunch of artwork lately, and probably won't be until November ends. Sorry for that!

~ NaNoWriMo : I'm attempting it this month, after not having done it for... 4 years or so. My writing skills have progressively gotten worse, unfortunately, but my speed is fine, so I think I can actually 'win'. Maybe I should just stick to improving my artwork (because it needs the work), but I do enjoy writing as well...

~ Hiragana : I'm trying to memorize about 5 characters a day... Well, today is only the second day. I guess this is a pet project of mine. I really would like to learn how to read and write a bit of Japanese. Unsure as to where it'll go; again, I should probably just get good at one thing instead of trying to keep up with so many. Oops? But I really do find it fun and interesting.

On another note, I really dislike self-teaching, up to a certain point. It gets so frustrating and when no one is around to care or motivate you... *sigh* Actually, that's all I can hope for sometimes. Being met with uncaring is better than being met with ridicule, which is usually the case.

This sounds so silly to some people, but I really, really want to go to school. Suffice to say that with my current life situation, it isn't looking very good. I have High School finished, and even a diploma for a writing school on the side and a certificate in art... But it's not as if those will be taken seriously anywhere, I feel. It would be different if my skills in, say, anything were strong enough to speak for themselves, but clearly they aren't.

I need to work harder, but keeping myself caring when no one else does gets harder by the day.

Oops, I started ranting a bit. Sorries. Didn't especially want to do that.

I read Pratchett's newest book recently. It was really brilliant, as all of his books are, and hysterically funny. I really want to get it when it comes out in paperback... I never buy hard-covers, because they're twice as expensive and I'm pretty much the opposite of loaded, hah. I wish my parents were those who saw books as essential and just got them for me... Even text books!

Hey, I can dream!

Hmm, I'm not sure that there's much else I feel like typing out right now. As you can imagine, doing NaNo this month is not exactly kind to my wrists. Perhaps I'll find time later this month to write more; I really didn't mean for two months to go by without a word! Sorries.
