Deviation Actions
Well, it's been a few months since my last journal, and for that I apologize. I've mostly been busying myself with the Madness Files and my first ever Source Filmmaker movie (viewable below) when I'm not at work or assisting my family with both of my older siblings moving into new homes (or just getting more stuff for their current ones, hard to tell the exact situation).
In regards to my most ambitious story to date, the only reason for my declining parts completion for each month is my declining opportunity for free time. In August when I had that massive surge, I still worked at the summer seasonal pool that allowed for a good number of breaks to work on personal projects. These last two months I haven't been, only working at the YMCA's in the area (yes, I'm working at two different branches now for some extra hours).
Then again, I suppose there is a backlog of parts to this story that haven't been made viewable. The reason for that is I selfishly wanted people to show that this story was truly wanted. I tested that by submitting a new part every time three individual parts got 100 views each, they received 3 comments, or any combination of either. I have the sneaking suspicion, though, that those views that garnered a lot of the past submissions came from me just checking the deviations...
Anyway, with my movie finished, I'll be spending more time on working out future installments. I'm always accepting new ideas you'd possibly like to see in the series, whether they be specific characters showing up or interacting with other characters, specific franchises/worlds being explored, or what-have-you.

Of Sinister Star-Crossed Romances
I had a recent thought regarding a specific plot point in "The Madness Files", something akin to the alluded couples in the Descendants franchise. Namely: which Disney villains would truly be most compatible as [heterosexual] partners? Only a handful of concrete combinations were outlined in the Descendants franchise, and that includes both sides of the good/evil spectrum. My curiosity led me to spin a few more threads of fate for my own story.
The couples I've come up with so far (spoiler warning for some of these, being "surprise" villains from their respective movies):
--Maleficent & Hades
--Mother Gothel & Judge Claude Froll
A Forever and a Half
My, my, how long has it been since my last decision to put my words into public print? How long has it been since I've had the combined nerve, energy, time, and drive to do so? It's hard to say, honestly.
Harder still, it seems, is looking back at my track record on this site.
Back in the early days, in high school and college, when my spirits, outlook, and amount of free time were high, I found communities interesting: the opportunity to show my work and embrace their works as a collective willing to share greatly appealed to me. My work flourished during this period, with both an audience to develop my artwork and skills for and criti
What Am I Doing?
No, seriously, what the fuck am I doing with my life? Why have I felt so drained this summer more than any other? Why haven't I been as active on here as I once was?
Honestly, I have next to no idea. Well, except for the activity on here bit; an update from months ago screwing with gallery organization turned me off from submitting more story pieces.
I had plans. I was supposed to have 350 handwritten pages in my story by now, starting from the 305th page at the start of summer; I'm currently sitting with page 308 unfinished before me. I was supposed to have all 24 of my character pictures ready for my website; I only have one of them
Where has the time gone...?
Wow, can't believe it's been this long... half a year since my last journal, not including that little outburst barely worth mentioning... and life continues to move at a breakneck pace.
My little sister got married a few weeks ago and has since near-completely moved out of the house (thank God). Thankfully her wedding reception took place at the local country club and didn't need us to set this one up. The food was good, especially for the rehearsal dinner; and she seems happy with how things are going at the moment.
Halloween and Thanksgiving came and went with barely a whimper. We only had like 8 groups of trick-or-treaters, maybe les
