Admin Post: Community Check-In for October

[goss]

Tomorrow will be the last day of the month (Halloween!), and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you?

Did you take part in any fandom activities in October, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Also, if you participated in Inktober over the past couple weeks, how has the experience been?

Sadly, October has been a sad and stressful month for me trying to fit in a lot of fandom deadlines while dealing with my Dad's ailing health - and his funeral yesterday. Weirdly I was able to write but couldn't find the enthusiasm to even doodle... though I did manage one silly Halloween doodle spotted on a Youtube tutorial that I plan to share! Nothing spooktacular but it was fun.

I bought myself a couple of decent art drawing pads and I hope I can find the inspiration to start using them.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. Big hugs, and I hope hanging out in fandom helps you feel a little less sad.

Thank you. Fandom has certainly made for a great distraction, and a way to avoid all the family drama associated with these sad events.

Oh that's harsh. I'm so sorry. I hope fandom can give you a bit of space.

[tarlanx]

It has done, thankfully. I've needed the distraction these past few weeks.
