Cookies for anyone who still remembers these old characters! xD

This year, I think I've been trying to re-figure out my identity as an artist. A lot of things I was doing had really burnt me out and life itself was changing. I look back at my past self and can hardly recognize that person.

But despite everything, old characters and old stories still exist in my mind and soul. I was thinking about how next year I think I should finally get serious about having a completed novel and made a list of 4 or 5 stories that particularly stand out to me as possibly being worthy enough to be that project. One of these stories is SnowSong, a very old story of mine that I never finished writing, though I did get pretty far with it back in the day. It's a bizarre series of short stories about a white canine-like character named Noon who journeys a fictional land in search of the definition of "God". Back in the day when I first wrote this story, I was on my own spiritual search. I didn't really know what I believed in at the time so I think it made the story become directionless. I could never figure out a proper way to end a story that begins with such a question and perhaps now, after I had grown up a lot more since starting it, I can tackle it better and give the story more value with an actual message this time. Noon has been waiting for his story's conclusion for far too long lol.

I was thinking of doing art for the other stories I'm considering as a novel project goal for next year, too, and see what the interest level is like.

In the meantime, I should probably practice writing stories again because I have DEFINITELY allowed myself to get rustier than I'd like x.x;

Also, it's nice drawing something more experimental again. I've gotten so bored and burnt out of my usual process... so I don't really want to care about quality right now.
