So its been over half a year since I've even touched the journal section of dA. Alot has happened too. Quite a bit. Obviously I haven't submitted much work lately, and that's because I've been wasting all my time and effort on Tumblr. I've also majorly pulled out of the brony community. Thats not to say I dont still draw ponies, just not as much.

I hope all of you Americans who are of age are voting today! I know I will! I wont tell you who I am voting for as I don't want to wrongly influence you, but I think it's pretty obvious who I am seeing as I go on the internet and actually care about rights. Its sad that I'll have to lie to my parents though. They're super extreme when it comes to politics and the likes and in order to keep them from getting too upset I'll have to lie about who I vote for.

As some of you may know (and others not), November is National Novel Writing Month! The challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel by the end of November. This means I'll have to average a word count of 2,000 words a day to have some time for editing and cleaning. You can track me here: http://www.nanowrimo.org/widget/LiveParticipant/ripred.png Its not too late if you want to join in! There's no obligation to finish anything and no real reward other than self satisfaction in knowing you came out a better writer. Because of all this I will not be working on any requests for the month :
