I had a bothersome dream last night where I was inexplicably back in college and pregnant. My college campus was more of a mix between both Mt. Pleasant and Traverse City, and there was quite a bit of bike riding and strange artistic structure made of underwear. I have a few ideas on the psychosis…

I used to draw a lot. Most of my drawings were either fanart or sketches for characters and scenes in my writing. Some of it was pretty good; most of it was fairly bad. I posted often to sites like Elfwood and deviantART but it’s been a long, long time I since I really seriously…
