Recession sucks, job hunting is a fail at the moment although I do have a job which is something. Haven't done much fanart lately, just a lot of art for my stories. My copic markers have all dried up so have to get some next pay day, until then it's watercolour pencils and pastels for me.

Currently trying to re-learn the keyboard and struggle on with learning Japanese along with working on seven stories :S hopefully I will be published soon. Also playing through all the Sonic games on the Playstation 2, eventually going back to FFX or FFXII to do some serious levelling up. Also replaying Kingdom Hearts II, love it so much!

Summer is over, though we never had much of one anyway, our August has been wet and quite cold, had the heating on a lot!

It's scary that I've almost got my degree, just finished the first of three essays though I still have to do the source analysis for it. No idea what I'm going to do when I graduate, the economy is delaying that (good excuse as any). About to send off letters to two more publishers so wish me luck with that!

I have still been doing art but for my stories, so nothing I can put up here yet though hopefully I will get around to some more Fushigi Yuugi art, and maybe update the fanfics. Working exceptionally hard with my uni work and my stories simultaneously. Think I'm going square eyed from being in front of the computer so much.

Extra excited because both Vampire Dairies (by LJane Smith) and A Song of Ice and Fire (by George R.R. Martin) look set to becoming t.v. series and both have new books on the way! Have to say I loved Vampire Diaries The Return: Nightfall, Damon is a fantastic character. Equally love A Feast for Crows and am anxious for A Dance with Dragons because it signals the return of not just Daenerys Targaryen but also Theon Greyjoy!

Anyway, back to studying and perhaps I will do some artwork tonight if the gym doesn't tire me out too much.

Currently playing FFX and it is tough, I can beat the wyrm Evrae no problem, done it twice now in fact but Bevelle is just too much with the flamethrowers and I have died there twice. Now taking a break, until tomorrow at least, because the repetitiveness of fighting Evrae is just too much. Really don't get why Bevelle is so damn difficult, very unfair that there is no save sphere until after you beat about six sets of guards and machina and all this after you beat Evrae. That's always been a flaw with FF the save spheres are too far apart.

Wonder if any of you even know what I'm talking about, FFX came out so long ago lol. I still have FFXII to struggle on with but it's a case of continuously levelling up which is boring until I am strong enough to beat the vegetable demons. Can't wait until FFXIII is out.

Working on some more Sailor Moon fanart, updated the fanfic and the Fushigi Yuugi fanfic. Don't know when the next updates will be, starting back to university on Monday so time will tell.

I finally submitted part of my manuscript to an agent so here's hoping they like it. I've been warned it could take up to six months for me to receive a reply but I won't wait that long before I send off to other agents. I know I may not get picked up by the first agent I send to but ala J.K.Rowling style I shall continue to send letters until one finally accepts me and then my agent and I shall contact publishers until one accepts me. The fact that Harry Potter got rejected so many times and Twilight was rejected a good few as well is actually quite a comfort to me, it means rejection doesn't necessarily mean that my work is bad, it just means I must persevere for success.

I've written over 20 books in the space of six years and I'm working on another six. So far I've written fantasy novels, vampire novels, crime novels and horror. I've completed a fantasy series and a vampire series and am currently working on a new fantasy series and a sequel vampire series amongst other things.

At the moment I have submitted the first book of my second fantasy series to an agent as I believe it is my best completed book. My first fantasy series and my vampire series were both started when I was 14 and though good, they need a lot of editing . Trying to get the first vampire book edited so that I can submit it too.

Of course I have soo much work to do and am working on other stories in my spare time, when I don't have a writer's block or can will myself to concentrate on the computer screen.

Have to submit a 4,000 word essay on the 12th January, got an exam on the 14th and another one on the 21st. Alas, these are final year exams so most of my time will be spent revising until January is over.

Currently dividing my time between essay research (ugh) and completing Final Fantasy IX to give my brain some relief. Fighting Trance Kuja at the moment but I've no ether, potions or tents left so I might have to go fight some creatures until I get a tent.

So I'm overwhelmed by my uni work at the moment but I suppose it is final year so it's no surprise that one teacher expects me to read three complete books, do two essays, a book analysis, a group project and reading every week, never mind what the other two expect of me (one expect a hundred pages (at least) of reading every week).
Naturally this might hinder art and fanfic updates. I have recently uploaded a Fushigi Yuugi piece and Jibril from Angel Sanctuary. Going to try and get my Fushigi Yuugi fanfic finished and then upload here. Don't when my art will get an update though.
