Leaving
3 min read
I'm sure this isn't going to come as a surprise to anyone, as I've been horribly inactive here for a very long time, but I'm leaving DA. Officially, I mean.
For a while, I've just been more involved on other websites, and haven't really had the time to be active here. In that time, DA has changed a lot. I'm sure some people love that, and that's great, but for me, deviantart just doesn't feel like the same, comfortable place it used to. It feels strange to visit, like I'm an intruder--not because of anything wrong, but just because it has changed while I wasn't looking, and suddenly I'm out of my depth.
I'm not sure, as of yet, whether I will delete my works from here or not. As of now, I'm not going to, but I do want to let people know it's an option I'm considering, so if in the future my account is empty, no one is confused.
I will not be deleting my account entirely, because I do still feel this is a good place to find art, and may come back every once in a while and browse, add things to favorites...it's just that I will not be updating anything at all. I am now an observer, not strictly part of the community.
However, it is of utmost importance that I stress this: I AM NOT QUITTING ART. I still love drawing, and have been improving even since my last post here, and I am still an avid writer. If you want to read some of my writing, I suggest you head over to my fanfiction.net account (www.fanfiction.net/~themissingpaige). As far as original writing...well, I'll be leaving high school soon, and hope to be able to get some things published in the years that follow. As far as my art goes, I've just recently created a tumblr (themissingthoughtbubble.tumblr.com), and I'll be posting any art there (as well as random thoughts, and potentially announcements about anything I'm writing).
Deviantart has been a great place for me in the past, and I won't forget my time here. I hope to see some of you on my tumblr and fanfiction, as some of you are really fun people I don't want to let go.
So, without further ado...farewell, DA. It's been good.

That awkward moment when...

The thing that you regret, the thing that keeps you up at night, is wishing you had wished something different on 11/11/11 at 11:11.
Seriously. I was up for 3 hours last night thinking I could have wished for something better.

Could use a few words of advice
2 min read
Or I guess you'd call it advice.
So my 6th grade brother who HATES art just drew a portrait of a man that's pretty much as good as I could do. And it just kind of wounds...my two great loves, the only things I would call myself maybe good at, are writing and creating art.
I've got friends who are far better than me at each, and now my own little brother, who doesn't even give a shit, is on my level. He even said he thought he did a crappy job.
I know I'm not going to be the next Shakespeare or Vincent van Gogh. I'm not going to be fanfiction, or deviantart famous. But to know that I don't even have a shining talent among my friends and family stings.
Like, can't I be the best at something? I'm so completely mediocre. To not have something I'm good at to claim as my own sucks.
Am I the only one who gets this way? Am I a selfish piece of shit for thinking like this?
Just need to hear some feedback. Pretty down in the dumps right now, and considering the best advice a friend of mine had was "suck it up you're never going to beat them" I could really use a pick me up.

So I made a blog...
1 min read
Yes. Instead of doing something more useful, I created a blog.
An anime-watching blog.
It's called Watch Me Watch Anime, and yes, it is pretty much what it sounds like: I post my reactions to anime episodes, and everyone is free to discuss in the comments. Of course, there are no comments yet because I just made it and no one loves me ;A;
SO you should totally check it out: www.watchmewatchanime.com
Enjoy~

Sorry for the major inactivity guys.
Have art block, and so I've been writing a lot more, but I can't seem to start a short story...I keep ending up going for a long one and I don't think I'm going to end up posting it here sooo...yeah.
On a semi-related note, I created a fanfiction.net account, so if you want you can go check me out here: www.fanfiction.net/~themissing…
The only story I've got up and am working on at the moment is a fanfic of Fullmetal Alchemist, so if you're into that: www.fanfiction.net/s/9923080/1…
Sorry guys I'll try to post more here too
