A rollercoaster of self-discovery
So. I’ve been in DA for a looong time, and I like a lot of people here. So much that I want to share a little of what I went through in the last few months and only now are settling down. It involves getting to a personal low and climbing up and discovering things about myself that were dormant. Who knows, maybe something will ressonate with you and help you in your own journey. I won’t lie, it got a bit longer than I expected, so you can skip to the tl;dr section at the end and judge if you want to read it all or not. — — Part 1 — That darned virus When the pandemic started, all these months ago, I was in a good mood. My PhD was going well (even if I still had a few uncertainties that made me a bit anxious), with me writing a book chapter that would be soon published and a congress in a beautiful city that I didn’t know yet and was excited to see. The school year was starting and I had lots of plans to make my classes better for my students. Those plans were for me, too, because
Ranting about Mary Sue Litmus Tests
So.
I'm 32 and I've been actively creating fiction (either by writing it, or just by laying down and letting my mind entertain me) for over twenty years now. Yep, I started VERY early. And I have a very good memory for things I create, even if the details fade away with time. I've been around writers for some good 15 years, reading advice, studying, have my writing reviewed by more talented people (sometimes mercilessly). I'm also a teacher, and I often read my students' fiction (I'm a Chemistry teacher, but I love to talk about art with my students in friendly exchanges). All this experience gives me some perspective of what it feels to be
Gemini-1 potential shirtless billionaires
First: I'm fine, I'm alive, I'm just working a lot and writing when I have time, instead of drawing. And writing in Portuguese, hence the lack of me posting here. How are you guys?
Recently, PuddingValkyrie (https://www.deviantart.com/puddingvalkyrie) posted a comic that raised that from the dead:
At the time, I didn't partake in the silliness because Bram & Vlad's cast is largely composed of minors barely over children's age, which is not very shirtless-billionaire-book material (although I must say that adult!Vlad would be a textbook shirtless billionaire), but now that I'm working in the Gemini-1 books (basically, the Belle Night cycle, the Dimensional Police cycle and the
Life update and another OC meme
So! I'm, as always, remarkably absent from DA. It has to do with my routine being so crazy and I having so much work that I barely have any time to draw and I'm reading and writing a lot. I favourited a few of those OC meme thingies because they are quick to fill and a perfect excuse for me to give you guys life updates, so you know I'm still alive and busy (but well). I'm also about to finish Alex and Rose, which means that I'll probably have their world's canon finally put down enough to allow me to properly edit The Conservatory and The Green Star for serious publishing. Fingers crossed!
I hope you are all doing well!
