I'm so uninspired. I never got around to writing anything for the birthday contest, which I was really looking forward to... though if I get the time and the peace of mind I'd still like to write it, even if the contest is over. It was something I really wanted to do, ya know? I think it's been over a year now since I've sat down with a pen and paper in front of me to write anything half decent. Good lord it's sad. I just have no inspiration. I see plenty of amazing work here on DA, and it's somewhat motivating, but it just doesn't give me that nudge that I've been looking for. I have so much going on it's like I can't even concentrate on what I really do want, let alone any words that flow nicely together. I dunno. Maybe this weekend. I'm going on a mini-vacation of sorts to a very dear friend's place for the night on Saturday, and her place was always inspiring. Maybe it'll kick start something for me. I can only hope. Who knows... I think I just need more "me" time...

So... StJoan is hosting a contest to write something on what it was like to wake up on the morning of your eighth birthday, to celebrate the 8 years of deviantART. I really want to join and I've got till the 31st to write something, so I think I shall. However, it will probably be interesting to have to dig that up, being that was the year my mother died. She died in February, and I was expected to be happy and celebrate my own birthday 3 months later without her...it took a lot out of me, I remember being very overwhelmed. We shall see how this turns out, maybe I won't disappoint myself after all.

Hi, it's Meghan.

Just a little notice to those of you that might want to know who the hell is randomly watching you and all that good stuff. I'm transferring my work from sofyne86 to here, and deleting that account, I was having some personal issues and it seemed easier to just delete the whole account than continue to battle with it. So, apologies if any inconvenience comes out of this, which I'm sure it won't. So, here I am again, and I'm hoping to become more active in the DA community, it's been a slow process and will probably keep going slow being a mother of two small children under the age of 2. Thanks for checking up, and please, do feel free to look through my gallery. I'm feeling a little non-motivated, a little critiquing would be fantastic right about now. I'm always up for hearing how/what I can improve and don't generally take that kind of thing personally. Thanks a bunch!
