Ahh wow. It's been a while...
A lot has happened.
I'm now ill, for starters, and have a lot of thinking and planning to do.
I don't want to go into touch much detail publicly about everything, but my circumstances have changed once again because of my illness. 

Right now I'm trying to focus and invest in things that will really boost my confidence up and make me feel better about myself. 
It's September, which means I've been through three quarters of a year, and I keep thinking about the resolutions I made. I kept quite a few of them so I'm happy about that, but I really need to work on myself if I want to achieve most of them before the end of the year. 

And so...I have decided to take an even longer hiatus from dA. I've cancelled my subscription, so after November I won't be a premium member. I will still log on to look at gorgeous artwork, but what I mean is...I won't be posting anything up for a long while. 
I have a new outlet for blogging and writing. If I ever do any photoshoots I will of course post them up but it may not be for a long while. I also may stay on for commissions. 
But it's time for me to move on a little bit. I want to focus on making more friends, surrounding myself with things that make me happy so I can start feeling more confident about myself. I want to change. Not a lot, because at the end of the day...I am still me. I just want to progress somehow I suppose.
I will keep in touch with friends on here through notes if anyone would like, or I'll give out an alternate way to contact me if need be. 

Hope everyone has been well and I wish anyone going back to school, or starting university, all the best of luck :)

Soooo....

I got a job!! :la: Working as a receptionist in a brand new office building for a great local company!
I'm pretty excited! The pay isn't much but things will be much better for me. It can be so demotivating sitting at home, applying for things and getting nowhere. Now I can have a routine going again and can do more positive things with my time.

This however also means I won't be online much at all. I want to make a good impression as I start so I will be taking a break from the internet for a few weeks during weekdays. I know from previous work that I'm absolutely brain-dead by the time I get home anyhow, so the most I can do is sit like a zombie watching anime or chitchatting aimlessly. 

I'll still be doing my writing and studying on weekends/when I can, and will submit stuff from my personal project now and then. I just won't be updating here as frequently. 
I'll also have to cut back on roleplaying a little bit. I actually started doing some stuff on tumblr, but for dA roleplays I'm going to limit myself to just one group if there's any I can/want to join. That way everything will be more manageable.

I also recently bought a couple more lolita things :heart: I can't wait to put my outfit together for Manchester Expo! :D

That's all for now ~

To-Do List

4 min read
As I predicted, I got stupidly busy. This is literally my only free day this week *dies*

I've been pretty busy dealing with personal things. Mainly job-hunting, which has gotten more complicated this month than it has for the past 2 or so years I've been unemployed. I'm stressed and exhausted. I'd rather things either return to normal or things to develop further, at the minute it's just all limbo and I'm constantly being left hanging. I could really do with some time to de-stress so I can have care-free chitchat with friends. I want to get back into roleplaying and going to cons. 

I'm also working on my course deadline. I've only got 1,500 words to go! After I've submitted it, I'm going to share some pieces on here. 

All this has meant my project is on hold for a little bit. So in case I don't forget when I return to it, I'm posting a quick to-do list:

.:Mini star bullet 04:. by Chipi-Chiu Write-up for June
.:Mini star bullet 04:. by Chipi-Chiu Write-up for Minor Characters incl. Dom's sister, Lewis' reading group, cafe staff and more.
.:Mini star bullet 04:. by Chipi-Chiu Full Character Profiles
.:Mini star bullet 04:. by Chipi-Chiu Plot Outline
.:Mini star bullet 04:. by Chipi-Chiu Start on Intro/1st Chap 

I've also been messing about with RenPy and children's story ideas but I know I should just work on one thing at a time!

Crazy Days...

3 min read
I've been busy the last few weeks, and I could get even busier. 
Weirdly though, I'll be thankful if it does get busier. However I'm still waiting on a pretty important decision before I make my mind up about what's been going on. 
I hold my hands up: on the days where I haven't been busy, I've been stressed to the point where I just numb myself into procrastination. I feel pretty sucky for doing it as it leaves me ignoring friends, who don't really deserve to be ignored. I'm sorry.

Anyhow...
I'm working on doing free-write pieces for my other project OCs, but at the minute studying takes priority - I have a deadline this month and I'm pretty worried about it. I'm sure I'll make it, but still.
Next week I'll be collecting my Animal Crossing pre-order :la: I'm so excited, and I just know I'm gonna end up distracted! 
I now also know that I'll be going to Manchester Expo dressed in lolita! On top of that I'll be going to a lit-fest in September, so I've got some events to look forward to. 

Not sure what else to mention, basically I'm a busy-bee and can't decide whether I like it or not! 
Will update when I've finished all my OC pieces so I can talk more about the project, or if something happens. Idk.

UPDATE
Kawaii Pastel Star Divider by miemie-chan3

Whilst MCM Expo is on in London this weekend, I'm going to casually ignore my jealousy using painting and writing... :XD: . I've reached a bit of a stand-still with my project. Some characters "speak" to me, whereas others are being mysterious and I can't seem to envision them. I'm also having issues with a setting really sticking out to me, although I've only planned it for certain scenes in my plot plan! I used to write with only a very loose plot and let the characters emerge that way, but this time I'm wanting to plan things out...and it turns out planning is hard! 

Aside from writing I have a lot to think about. I've just had an interview today so I'm thinking about the prospects from that, and I also have a blood test tomorrow. My health can be dodgy at best these days, so anything could be wrong...I suspect my diet. Speaking of, I've recently discovered that I actually like all kinds of things! I didn't think I'd like pistachios or pumpkin seeds, but they're quite yummy!

Anyhow! Since this has been going around dA and I've had character-making on the brain lately, I'll try and do this meme! I'll keep it up for a few weeks - anyone can comment - and I'll just update this "updates" section for whenever I need another rant! ^^;


OC FEATURE MEME
Kawaii Pastel Star Divider by miemie-chan3


RULES
1. I'll make a feature choosing my favorite OC of yours.
2. If you comment, please do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on in the first slot. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone! (I'm not that bothered whether you do this or not! I know tags/memes can be annoying so only do the second part if you feel like it - I just want to give some OCs some love! :heart: )
