To do list for 2008
Well, as you can probably see I'm back to work, sort of. I've decided to post a few photos for now and will post more each month depending on which people like. If people are interested in more animals for instance then I'll post more of them. If there is something from the photos you would like to see more of then please comment on the images with wish me to post more of and I'll see what I can do. I really hope to get a new camera in the coming year because I really love to take photos and would love to take more, but currently I have enough to spend a year posting them so don't want to overload you all at once.

Now with this being the new year and with my having my first account here I have lots of plans for the coming year. Here is a list of a few of the things I plan for 2008.


YResolutions for 2008
- Post at least one new art piece a month, at the very least.
- Type 10,000 words a month of anything and post what I can.
- Post 5 new photos a month, until I'm out of them or get a new camera. (got new camera and new photo account)
- Figure out how to make my DA account look much nicer (completed)
- Play Wii Sports at least 3 - 4 times a week.
- Formate Tutorials for DA and post them (one more needed to finish.)


Plans for 2008:
- Complete novel "In my heart and in my mind" before the end of the year.
- Reedit and post updates to "A Shadowlander's Dream"
- Try to complete book 3 of A Shadowlander's Dream", or complete as much as I can.
- Rework "Lingerin' Shadows within" to be a full novel, which means adding in 20,000 more words and filling out the story more.
- Work on more of "Letters from a Secret Rose Garden", "Whimsical Wanderers" and "Morbid Tales"
- Try to come up with at least one more Short story.
- Redo and colour "The life of an Overlord" (posted it as is)
- Finish new site on free web host.


Accomplishments
Jan:
- Uploaded 50 images, completed several new ones
- Finished 5 new chapters for "In my Heart and In my Mind" and posted them.
- Sorted out CSS a little.
- Finished several Tutorials
- Created photo account and uploaded nearly 100 photos

Feb:
- Finished several art pieces.
- Uploaded manga projects, One's Purpose and Random Scribbles, four pages of ASD.
- Started 100 Chibi Challenge
- Editing ASD book 1
- Finished all but one Tutorial
- created stock reference page.
- finished several new art pieces
- Finished Elfen Lied and Aquarium Age.
- took many photos
- finished V-day Gift
- finished organizing DVDs


That is it for now. I hope I can keep up with my plans. No matter what I'm going to try to complete one new piece of art this month and then finish "In My Heart and In My Mind" before working on anything else.

Well here is hoping 2008 is a productive year. If you are interested in seeing my progress I've added an Activities log to my forum here: [link]

Haha that's alot on you plate. Good luck with all of them. Seems i'm failing at my 'draw something a day' resolution. But I have sketched more in the pass week than in the pass month, which is deffinetly a good sign.

Also, since i didn't get a chance to on the last journal, Welcome back!

Hopefully I will not need any luck... unlike last year with the move and everything else getting in the way of working. I really wanted to have two more novels finished by the end of 2007, but that didn't happen. With one novel nearly completed and three others in the start I should be able to at least finish two novels again, hopefully three. We'll have to see what the future brings.

It may seem like a lot, but considering I have piles of unfinished art on the computer and that I already write about 10,000 words to 20,000 words in a month it should not be hard to complete most of what I have on that list.

I used to draw every single day when I was creating manga and it nearly killed me. I mean in one month I drew over 100 pages for a manga and my hands where aching like mad. After that I sort of collapsed so I'm going to try to start with one full colour image a month and some writing before trying anything crazy like I used to do.

Try not to push yourself too hard like I used to or you will end up hurting yourself. Pushing yourself too hard can be a bad thing.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Thanks, though I don't plan on really forcing myself to draw. If i have time, i doodle, other than that i usually forget haha. I just hope I can get my comic Interrobang going soon. I've been puting it off for way to long.

also, no problem C:

Good good, forcing one self can be a bad thing. Mind you sometimes it is a good thing too. Each day I try to get to work by noon and end my work by 6 pm or so. If I'm in an art/writing mood I start earlier, but if I'm just laying around I try to force myself to do something each and every day. Then again I don't have much else to do and this is my living so I have to force myself at times or I'll just lay around staring at the ceiling all day long. Not fun...

Well jaa ne

Yea i really hate those times where you want something to come but it just won't happen, causing wasted time. It's been luckily, i just got over a batch of that, almost 2 months worth ;_;

Personal Info

I am Shinigami Shimai Kathryn, Kat to most. No the nick name Shinigami Shimai did not come from Bleach or Death Note, I've had it for about 10 or so years and it started from my first manga series A Shadowlander's Dream and represents a lot of who I am. If you read my many novels you will understand why.

I a major gamer and anime/manga fan. I love horror games and RPGs and have been playing games since I was little. Been watching and reading anime/manga since the late 70s, love shoujo more then anything else, and started studying the style back in the late 80s, before all the hype. I also love psychological thrillers and horror, been reading Stephen King since I was about thirteen and fell in love with his style and the sheer creepiness of his creations. But I can't stand horror without a story too it, slashers are right out for me.

Kim, my lovely wife and soulmate, and I are both major gamers and as such we have had many systems. Right now we have a PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP and two DSs.

note: I've pretty much sold my soul to sony...
