I'm not dreaming. I'm just waiting for that desired part of my reality to arrive. I don't care about being like other people. I am who I am. I want to be the person who is known, but not seen. I want to be able to stand up and say that I did something worthwhile with my life. I want to have the pleasure of speaking with the people I admire as friends. I don't want to be known as someone whose art "looks like that guy's." It is my style, and mine alone.

I finally got my new phone. It's fantastic. Eventually, I'll get a data plan for it. It's out right now, because I don't have a steady job. So, extra money going out each month is... out. But it works great even without data. I knew it would rain before anyone else did. Haha.

Now, about House On A Hill... I have so little time to work on it, or to scan anything. I had (annoying-as-hell) company over for Easter, and I still have three exams that need to be done by next Thursday. So, very little time to do anything. And then we have a family member graduating late next month, and I've made it a priority to have a job, or at least interviews, within the next three weeks, so art and everything else, including my fanfiction and original writings, will be very slow.

I'm really starting to doubt my original story right now. Not quality-wise at all, but I don't think I'll have this finished by June and sent out to publishing companies by August. I'll try, but I doubt it.

Aside from taking time to work on it each day, do any of you have tips for me? I already got great feedback on LiveJournal in regards to exam tips, so I'm trying it here, too.

Forgive me if I reply late. I'm buried in notebooks and paper. Literally.

Hi there! I'm currently reading one of your stories at fanfiction. Apparently, it led me back here at DA. =)
