okay I take back my previous statement. I would love to have the kind of self control to respond to all your comments and watches and whatnot, but since I posted that balloon girl pic i'm upwards of 3,000 messages. in a day. so while I love you guys, I'm'a pass.

Instead I'm devoting myself to my *gasp* ORIGINAL CHARACTERS. That is correct. I had as productive a day today as I did yesterday, but in a totally different way; I've been working on developing the story I've had rumbling in the back of my head for about a year, but was too lazy to do anything about. I learned something while researching beating procrastination (i'm cool) which is that I shouldn't not start something because it's not going to be perfect. Of COURSE it's not going to be. But the sooner I start, the more time I will have to make it better.

So. expect some unveiling. it should be fun. You've already met one, Guinevere. She may need a new name though, because of name origin problems... do you guys know some really pretty middle-eastern sounding names for a mild-mannered but SECRETLY FIERCE vegetarian?

As always, I don't know what I would do without your support, and as my latest piece rockets me into layers of unforeseen and inexplicable popularity, your sweetness and kind words mean more than ever to me.

<edit> july 8: Well I've done it. I manned up and deleted my 3454 messages. i feel like a new person. Update to come soon...</edit>
