I am so hopelessly horrible at updating this thing. This is why I never kept a diary when I was growing up! Xp Actually, I've been a little busy over the last week. I finished Chapter 4 of Renewed Beginnings, only to decide I hated it, so I had to start it all over. I finally finished and submitted my first piece of FanArt on FA. It's a pic of Bill Weasley, done in Manga style, and I know I still have a LOT of room for improvement, but overall, I'm rather pleased with it. It's the first thing I've ever drawn that I would even consider sharing with others! I've already gotten four reviews (all good, even!), and one of them was from a total stranger!!! My friends are honest, and give me helpful tips, but, still, it's heartening to get a good review from someone I don't know, too! Then, I've got two election threads going at the same time over at FA, CoMC - Let the Voting Commence! and Vote to Replace Lord Moldy Shorts, and those take up a little time, too. I'm also finally getting started on the cross-stitch stuff I'm doing for Amy, and that is eating up some time. Plus, sheis leaving today on a Caribbean cruise with my aunt (her school is out of session next week), so I've been getting her stuff togeter for that. And on top of everything else, she had to do a diorama-style book report for school this week, and she's only in the 2nd grade! I don't remember doing things like that until middle school! So it has been a hectic week, indeed! Oh, well, At least I have the next week to rest up!
