Admin Post: Community Check-In for December

[goss]

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

Did you get a chance to take part in any fandom activities in December, 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, New Year's Resolutions, etc.

--------

We've had a wonderful year here at drawesome. It's been exciting to see our community growing and taking shape. We've been quite productive over the last 12 months, made lots of new friends here, and enjoyed encouraging and supporting each other. Wishing all of you a New Year filled with fun, creativity, love and kindness! :)

I’m getting the last of my seasonal cards in the mail today, late as usual! I took on a few too many writing challenges for Xmas, which delayed the card project. I’d like to write more overall, but it takes me longer and while I’m doing it, it’s more of a struggle. On the art side, I did one piece in a secret santa exchange and will have another in ArtYuletide shortly - will add those links soon, after reveals.
My tumblr wasn’t deleted but I’m not posting to it any more - mostly using dreamwidth and AO3, with pillowfort as well to crosspost art. I’ve received a few cards from fellow drawesomers, which are great! Am responding individually. Most of my NY resolutions are about health and adulting, but I’d like to do fewer challenges this year I think, and go at my own pace more. Happy New Year to you all!

*nods* That's a good one to keep in mind.

Even though I'd love to take part in more challenges, I always feel bad when I can't follow through or submit late entries. This community has help me tremendously with following through on bite-sized challenges though. :)

Fewer challenges, definitely a resolution that I should keep in mind as well. And I guess art is more of a quicker gratification project than writing?
Happy New Year to you too!

Happy new year mific!
That sounds like you had a month filled arting! \o/ I understand the need to go full on with the christmas challenges, kudos to you for sharing the christmas spirit! :)

Good luck with the health and adulting, sometime being good to oneself is putting less things on the plate, even if writting of making art is a joy!
