3/16 As a Water Genasi, you'd expect Keani to we w 3/16
As a Water Genasi, you'd expect Keani to we weary of fire, but afraid? Her cool composure in moments of stress cracks a little but when confronted with flames, whether open or metaphorical ones.  What could have caused that?

2/16 With the speed of things moving on the intern 2/16
With the speed of things moving on the internet, you sometimes don't learn about things until you're already in it.

I won't go into details, but with the recently acquired knowledge, I decided to branch off from Inktober and create my own prompt for this month. 

The purpose of this is to further develop and share with you a character I'm currently playing in a homebrew D&D campaign - Keani of Vallis Nera, a Grave Cleric focused on maintaining balance and the cycle of life. As such, she sometimes finds herself in the role of a ... divine HP ambulance. 😂

Anyone who wishes to use my prompt for their own characters, is welcome to do so. Do tag me if you do, I'd love to see what you come up with. 

The idea was inspired by @orange.bunnit's prompt from 2019 and adapted to suit my needs and free time. 🙂

Day 8 - Whenever I have less time to dedicate to p Day 8 - Whenever I have less time to dedicate to personal projects due to busy work days, I end up feeling like they're rushed and/or unfinished.

A few days back however, I was reminded that "paper is patient". And with that the realization that whatever feels rushed or unfinished can always be revisited, improved, finished or redone at any point in time settled within me. 

With that said, here's the first version of many (or none) to come.

Day 7 - Make time for the things you love doing, n Day 7 - Make time for the things you love doing, no matter how busy your day is.
.
This week I've been fully immersed into one side of my work, which requires me to be away from the early hours of the morning until late at night. Hence why, I've been falling back on the 21 day to form a habit project I started on the first day of the year.
.
After two days of break from illustrating, I found myself missing it. So in my short breaks here and there, I managed to finish this piece.
.
All the feelings and realizations that come with writing these lines and looking at the illustration on the carpet next to me, put a smile on my face and make the tiredness a little easier to bear.
.
Those little moments in between our crazy everyday lives - that's where the magic happens. Give them space to unfold and you might just find answers to questions you didn't even know you were asking.

"The same", we usually all answer with a shrug of confusion, wondering how one day could make a difference.
.
But after having finished living my 29th year in this body and life, I have a different answer for the first time.
.
"I feel like I'm flourishing", I say without words and a smile, knowing that the change doesn't happen over night, but the decision to start working towards it does. 
What difference a year can make.

One year ago today, I stepped into this mysterious One year ago today, I stepped into this mysterious and exciting new journey called freelancing, not knowing what it would bring, but trusting that it would reveal my adventure, one step at a time. 
Riding this rollercoaster through highs and lows, growth and confusion, joy and frustration, working until 3am or with Luna on my keyboard, I can say without any shadow of a doubt that it has been the most rewarding, eye-opening, soul-enriching and life-changing year of my life and if I had to choose, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. 
Here's to the leap that started it all. <3
