Admin post: Community Check in for May 2018

[mific]

It's just slightly after the last day of May, oops (Goss has neen super-busy and I didn’t notice, sorry). But it’s never too late, so we'd love to have you check in and chat with us.

How have things been with you this past month? Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in May, 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.

Hi all!

In artistic news, I've been drawing quite a few of the prompts from drawing-prompt-s on Tumblr. I plan to post a bunch across this coming week, since this coming week I start an interim job! ... I guess that's also personal news.

OH, and remember my Poetry Month project? I put the cards leftover from Poem In Your Pocket Day in my Interview Folder to pull. out when the interviewers asked me "so what do you do outside work", and when I brought the cards out I briefly explained the project and how people are souls as well as bodies and in medicine we need to care for both. I think that helped get me this job. *beams*

This hasn't been. an easy month but it's been a worthwhile month, and art has been a large part of that. I'm so glad I'm part of this artistic community here!

Yay for artistic productivity!

And that you could use your art project in an interview is beyond awesome! Congratulations on the job.

Congratilations on the new job! I'm happy for you and it's so great that the poems helped out! :)

Would you link to your drawings?

[minoanmiss]

Thank you. :D

All my drawings are in this Memories category, arranged chronologically:

I loved all your poems and drawings, and you're keeping them coming with the prompts! And yay, good news about the job and I'm so glad having a creative life outside work helped with that. :D

Oh, great thinking! I'm sure they were impressed. ^___^

Heh, thanks. I hope it works for the next place...
