It's been so long since I updated on Dreamwidth!  My health problems took up the vast majority of my free time, but now I finally have a clear bill of health! Yay for being back to my usual self. :D 

Anyway... Here is what's going on: 
  • BSD fic in progress
  • TKRB fic in progress (slowly)
  • Horikawa cosplay: 80% complete
  • Chuuya cosplay: 50% complete
  • Honebami cosplay: planning stage (still deciding whether to start with regular or kiwame!Honebami) 
  • Daily art practice
  • Language studies
  • Photography: nature, sports, equine, etc. Looking to get more experience with photographing people

Happy New Year! 

It's been a while since I've updated here because I've been sidetracked by work, health stuff, and other projects. I have been continuing to work on my tkrb fics though!

So here's what's going on: 
  • Chapter 1 of new tkrb fic is done. Chapter 2 is halfway done. I'll be sending a few scenes to a very talented friend to make sure everything is coming out ok. I've wanted to write this fic (and these two characters!) for so long. I've been putting this fic off because I've been so nervous I won't execute it as well as I want to. Finally, I gave in and started working on it. I'll probably start posting it once Chapter 2 is done and Chapter 3 is underway. That shouldn't take too much longer, unless I decide I need do any major reworking in my editing process.
  • I have another exciting tkrb fic mostly outlined. I know how the fic is going to end and the first four chapters are outlined. I'm just working on planning the middle out in more detail.
  • As I've mentioned, I've been drawing again for the first time in 8 or 9 years. I started again in July. November and December were a little spottier with practice because I was feeling like trash in November, and the holidays kept me busy in December. Now I'm back to a more regular drawing practice. I'm still much too inexperienced and shy to share anything, but I am seeing progress! Which is exciting :3
  • As soon as my wallet starts to recover from medical bills, I want to get back into some cosplay stuff I had been working on. I'm also working on improving my sewing and design skills.
  • 毎日日本語を練習しています。よく日本人の友達と話していますので、日本語で話しやすくなります。もし間違った日本語を使ったら、正して下さい。

Good Morning!

I'm just sharing a quick outline of what I'm working on: 
  • New Touken Ranbu multi-chapter fic! - I'm not sure when I'll start posting it. It's a sizable piece, so I want to have a few chapters prewritten so I don't fall behind on regular updates.
  • I have additional Touken Ranbu fics outlined! I might start working on one idea while I work on the long fic. We'll see!
  • I've pulled my two cameras out and started working on some practice shots. I have some projects in mind, but it's been awhile since I've had time to actually go out and shoot.
  • I've gotten back into drawing after a lonnggg time away from it. I have a ways to go, but it has been a lot of fun! I'm don't know when I'll be confident enough to start sharing my work, but at least I'm making study progress. ^^ 
  • Still working on finalizing new job stuff and getting out of my current job.
  • Once I'm working a better job, I'll be able to get back into working on a few cosplays. :3

Hello! 


Here are some quick updates on what I'm working on and what I've been up to! 
  • My next Horikane fic is still in the works! It's getting close to being finished. It has taken me a lot longer than I expected because 1. I'm a perfectionist, 2. I've been sick. Hopefully I can finish it in a way that I am happy with, and that readers will enjoy! I'm still so thankful for the positive response to my first Touken Ranbu fic. :D 
  • I have an abundance of outlines for new Touken Ranbus fics waiting to be written. I have another one that I recently started working on. I'm not sure when this fic is going to be done. I have to finish the Horikane first. Not to mention that I'm writing for two characters I've never written before. Whenever I write a new character, I work slower to make sure I'm happy with how the characterization comes along.
  • I'm going to be leaving my current job and working on new things soon! I have a long ways to go towards my long term goals, but I am happy with the progress I've been making in setting the foundation for those future goals. I'm going to be working more in my field, and gaining skills that will help me down the road. I had a great conversation with a former professor of mine that reassured me about my capabilities as a historian. ^^ 
  • I've been feeling unwell for around 2 years now, but a little over a month ago I came down with a really serious infection. I'm still feeling rather sick from that infection, and that's why I haven't been as productive as I would like. I'm seeing more doctors this week, so hopefully I'll get some relief! I really want to get my health squared away.
  • I'm working on getting my horses back in shape! I'd like to start competing again in 2018.
  • I'm also trying to get started on some new photography projects :D 
  • 日本史を勉強していますから、日本語が上手くなりたいです。いつか、日本で働きたいです。 大学で江戸時代と明治時代を研究ました。 明治時代について学位論文を書きました。歴史がとても面白いですね。私の先生は私が日本に行った方がいいと言いました。まず、もっと勉強しなくてはいけません。頑張ります!
I think that's about it for now! Feel free to chat with me here or on tumblr. I post my writing updates on my profile page of ao3 and on the writing page of my tumblr.

Updates

Hello~ 

I have been using my Dreamwidth for private entries that I use as to-do lists and such. Recently though, I decided that I'm going to start using it to share more updates, archive my fics, etc. I'm working (slowly) on cosplay stuff, so once that's closer ready maybe I'll be brave enough to share process here. I'm also getting back into other forms of creative work, so we'll see where that goes! Maybe I'll even start RPing again at some point. I haven't done that since 2012ish? 

Another exciting thing I'm working on nailing down is... a NEW JOB! I graduated in May, but I've been really torn about what direction I want to go with my career. I'm working on deciding between two different (but both excellent!) routes. I know which one I'm leaning towards at this point, it's just seeing if I can work out all the details of getting started. On the path I'm working on, start up will probably be a little slower than the other choices, but I see it being the most fulfilling long term. That long term goal is super important to me given that I've been working a really difficult job for a few years now that has no growth opportunities or anything of the like. But fingers crossed everything works out!

A less happy note is that I spent the last 3 days in the hospital due to a medical crisis. I won't go into a lot of detail here. Just that: I'm on the mend, but I'm still rather out of sorts. My sense of time is strange,I'm drained, and the medications I was sent home with have some icky side effects. But! I'm very happy things went as well as they did given how badly the situation could have gone. This event kind of put me behind on my writing and creative work, but as soon as I feel less fuzzy, I'll get back to work. :3

Current Projects:
  • Untitled Horikane Fic  
  • Touken Ranbu Fic # 3 (outlined)
  • Cosplay 1&2
  • Job hunting and coordination
  • Making a comeback to competitive equestrian sports in 2018??

Anyway, I should be using this account a lot more now so I'll probably send out the link on my tumblr and ao3 soon. I think the next post will be a sort of archive page for my fics. ^^
