Hello!
Do come on in and take a seat. No, I don't mind where, just make space if you need to. Yes, yes, you can put those books on the floor. What's that? You've found an 18th century silver pocket watch behind there? Odd. It doesn't belong to me.
Ahh, there's nothing quite like opening a journal with some imaginative yet slightly bizarre rambling, but that's what repressed creativity does for you. Anyway, it's sure been a while since I spoke to the few of you that may actually be reading this (unless you're someone I haven't spoken to much before in which case please don't let the slightly eccentric opening put you off, it seemed like a good idea at the time!) and so I thought I'd write some sort of an update. Partly as a way to (hopefully) make easy contact, a tiny bit because I'd like to use the opportunity to formulate some thoughts (and there's nothing like typing away on the internet to help formulate thoughts), and because I'm turning 21 tomorrow and, I dunno, now just seems like a good time to do this.
Right. I haven't been particularly active on here for a while now because a few months ago I became a writer for a video games website. I'm now the editing manager on that video games website and to say it takes up time is a bit of an understatement. It's fun for the most part: I did accumulatively four hours of live Twitter commentary to over 8,000 people in one day during E3 (a big expo, google it if you need to), am writing news and my own articles that can reach up to thousands of people, and even sent off my first interview yesterday! (An indie developer in the Czech Republic working on a game called "RENOIR", in case you're at all interested.) The downside is a. stress, and b. not enough time/energy to be creative! Or at least creative enough to finish things and be present on here. There are scraps of drawings, stories and pictures lying about my room in some form or another that I plan to finish but just haven't. It's all led to a sense of glumness, especially if there are ideas but I've not the time/energy to focus on them properly, so I'm planning on doing something about it. Definitely something!
Moving on, if anyone is still reading this - and if you are
- then how are you? I'd honestly like to know! I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. (Perhaps not so much the last part, I just wanted to use the quote and thought I'd borrow it from someone else who was having a milestone of a birthday!) Do let me know, if you like. 
I might take forever (like, literally) to reply to things, but I read it all!
More than anything, if you're reading this I hope you're well.

I'm on Instagram now :) https://www.instagram.com/willowsatsunset/ Feel free to follow if you're on there, and let me know so I can follow you back!
Mostly on Instagram are edited photos, and on here will be unedited ones (because I need to learn some editing skills *cough cough ahem*). And there should be more on in here in time than there have been, as I'm slowly getting on top of sorting my photos.
Slowly.
Very slowly.
But it is happening.
Anyway, if you're reading this, I hope you are well, and I hope you are well even if you're not reading this but you wouldn't know that because you're not reading this, and so I'm not sure the conve
Updates, Merry Christmases and Happy New Years
*here, have a mince pie*
Yes, it's Christmas once again! Instead of rambling along a thread of what Christmas means to those who celebrate it from a religious aspect, those who aren't religious, and those who are but who's religion does not involve Christmas, I will simply say Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays to you all. :) Given that there's not much more of 2015 left, happy 2016 to you too!
For much of the past few months I've been quite absent, and quite on and off throughout the whole year: having altered some commitments and contemplated the direction of others, I'm going to be refocusing on art and writing and whatnot. At least t
My Daily Deviation Highlights
Welcome to a Community Volunteer project in which we will be highlighting our favourite Daily Deviations featured within the recent weeks! We would like to encourage the community to join in on this project by simply going through the Daily Deviations page and collecting some of their favourite pieces of art within a journal titled "My Daily Deviation Highlights"! We hope this project will help spread awareness and love for Daily Deviations and our fellow deviant artists!
Beltaneh (https://www.deviantart.com/beltaneh) was kind enough to tag me for this here, where there's quite a few I'd have picked. There's plenty others to chose from though, so many in fact that one might
Deviantartist Questionnaire
Mhmm yeah, go on then. Let's give this a whirl. :)
1.) How long have you been on DeviantArt?
344 days - one year on the 29th August.
2.) What does your username mean?
It's a reference to a painting by Vincent van Gogh! I really get stumped trying to come up with usernames, so I just went searching for a painting I like and that's why I went for it. You can see the painting here.
3.) Describe yourself in three words.
How many words? Curious, excitable, (and a pinch) troubled.
4.) Are you left or right handed?
Righty! Though I sometimes use left because I'm awkward like that.
5.) What was your first deviation?

Well hello, it's just a random person enjoying browsing through your gallery & your journals 
I don't know if you're interested in a complete stranger's reply to your question (from over a year ago) but … actually I'm great, in fact I don't think that I've ever felt this happy throughout the last couple of years.
I hope you're doing fine too & everyone who might happen to read these lines I'm in an I-want-to-embrace-the-whole-world-mood haha and your journals just contributed to it~
