I’m so mad. Our postal driver refuses to deliver packages to us — leaving a note saying we have to go to the post office to get what we ordered. Which is annoying enough, but what really pisses me off is that we always have to wait until the next day. I can’t just walk to the post office and get my stuff now.
And I was really looking forward to getting the Sakura Pigma Micron pens I ordered:(
I’ve been drawing and I really want to start sharing, but even the Ultra Fine Point Sharpie I’ve been using blobs too much and the lines aren’t fine enough. It makes me very sad *wipes away a tear*
So tomorrow morning it’s going to be a trek to the post office, and then I’ll see if the Sakura outliner pens are worth all the hype. (I hope they are!)
And if I get really good at drawing (or at least moderately okay, this is non-drawing me after all) I’ll be printing out some cool things and mailing them out. Things like bookmarks, greeting/postcards, etc., so if anyone buys a book direct from me, I can have something cool to throw in extra as a “Thanks for reading me”. Plus I’m kind of looking forward to the idea of doing a holiday card exchange or something.
At the very least, I want the Kid to be able to hand out cards at the end of the year to his teachers and the school staff thanking them for their hard work. They had to put up with him all year after all, and he’s noted for his inability to sit still.

Also, still working on HVU. There should be another update really late tonight/early Saturday morning. If the program doesn’t crap out on me again. Though I’ve found that if I publish as an html file in between working on it, even if the program crashes, my stuff is still saved.
“What? Saving your work?” – I know. My mind was completely blown.
I’m also still planning out the Ren’Py version of HVU. It’s part of the reason why I took up drawing after all, as I would like to have some artwork for people to stare at.
I love a good text-based game as much as the next person, but even Oregon Trail had the little tombstones to look at when the “You’ve died” message popped up.
So here’s to hoping that I get good enough that my game doesn’t suck.
