Just fyi

some time in the next ten years I am 
1. Going to be a somewhat famous/popular artist. (At least enough to sell something—Is that too much to ask for?) 
2. Going to publish a novel or two. (I’m no Neil Gaiman but I can sure as heck be the next Cinda Williams Chima or something.) 
3. Going to work for Weta Workshop in New Zealand. (Those guys are awesome and so is New Zealand.) 

And when you hear about me because of any one of those things, you won’t really care because you never saw this post that I wrote on a dark and generally uninteresting night before my senior year of college. 

And right now all I can do is keep writing, painting, and wishing the folks at Starbucks would call me back and hire me so I don’t default on my car payments. I do actually make really good coffee (as well as write, paint, and dream about impossible things). 

Losing and Finding Myself by ~MBrainspaz This was a thing I did for Calendar of Tales (July) but I finished it TWO HOURS too late and now no one will even notice that I ever did it at all unless Neil Gaiman magically finds it on Tumblr which he won’t because that kind of thing just doesn’t seem to happen to me. (Yes, I am trying to give the universe a fun opportunity to laugh at me. Go ahead, universe, prove me wrong!) But really … sometimes it kills me that I can work on a piece like this for days and then it goes and gets ONE comment on DeviantArt because really no one cares. Maybe I could say “reblog if you’re an artist but no one ever seems to notice,” but chances are you haven’t read this far anyway.
