Humpday Update #23: "Project Motivation"


2016 Eisner Award Winning "Paper Girls"

So what you probably can't tell from my absence is that I've been secretly working on "Project Motivation". I talk a lot about making lists, getting things done, and tackling personal projects; as well as being tired, worn out, and just plain not in the mood. All the while "Project Motivation" has been a go.

Christmas was the best time to really put things into action. I got the whole week off from work which was much needed to recharge and focus on things I really wanted to do.

I spent time with family, my boyfriend, and my fur babies and recently finally went shopping. Getting mostly things to change my living space up including a new desk and trinkets to draw me back into drawing and designing. I grabbed a graphic novel I've been wanting to start and fun bits and bobs.

The major bits of "Project Motivation" have been set into motion or completed.

  • Create a Workspace
  • Create/Update a Website/Portfolio
  • Start Writing Again
My new website can be found in the "Design" link at the top of the blog or here; and I'm taking on new projects *wink wink*.  My new workspace is cozy and clean and I just want to sit there all the time now. As for the writing i've picked up my writing on every front; here on the blog, my fan-fiction, and occasionally in a journal or two since I'm a bit of a paper junkie.  I've taken a bit of a break from my podcast as I try to wrap my head around what direction it's heading in. But I'm happy with where it's suspended in space...

I see quite a few posts coming in the future as I try to keep this motivation train on the tracks!

Thanks for reading!

Humpday Update #4

So many projects, so much free time to get through them all. Having the time and the energy to do things I enjoy is a feeing I am greatly enjoying getting used to. I have a long lists of interests and projects I'm ready to dive into including; Herb Studies, Holistic Healing, and Tea Making Illustration Youtube/Videography Film/Instant Photography  My last two updates have been about my pending youtube page so I promise not to rant about that anymore.  Although I will say it's going along quite nicely. I don't have much to touch on otherwise. I have some business to attend to outside the blog so thats all darlings.

Humpday Update #22

In a nutshell, I'm tired. And not the you're not getting enough sleep kind or the you're working too hard kind. If anything I'm not working hard enough! No, this tired is perpetual. Some days are better than others, but all in all I've realized I'm just a "Sleepy" type. With this realization I came to the conclusion that it's ok to be tried. Young adults get a lot of crap from "certified" adults about being tired. Like we don't work as hard or do as much, therefore our tired to them just sounds like lazy. Millennials are easily one of the hardest working age groups although it's not necessarily documented/paycheck type of work. We are the kings and queens of side hustles and personal projects. We refuse to work jobs we dislike and usually end up forming fruitful work environments for ourselves and our friends. We're bloggers, artists, podcasters, DJs, photographers, fashion designers and the list goes on. We work ...

Humpday Update #5

I've been enjoying my space recently. Like a lot.... Especially since i've been neglecting it as of late. My creative aura has been rather dull since I graduated from school last May and as of right now I'm so restless it's affecting my sleep and my space. Creative people should be surrounded by creative areas, and i'm sure a clean/vibrant place just for me will make me less anxious as well. Therefore, I've been recreating my apartment space to suit me and my creative muse better. I'm also hoping it will help my mental state. I never really took the time to care about how my apartment was curated. In my last place I just put things where they fit, but given that the one-bedroom spot in Reisterstown was HUGE, everything fit pretty much everywhere. It was actually a nightmare and it didn't suit me. My 'new' place in Baltimore City is much more my style and speed and while I don't plan on staying there forever, it is a much warmer ...
