All of my fails will be addressed this next quarter. I had a lot going on, both in the health department and in the family Department. I lost focus and just worked on what could keep me going at the time. It was not an easy quarter, but I’m proud of what I did do. I finished a series, however prematurely. I maintained an uploading schedule on YouTube, and learned that it just wasn’t for me. I got started on a book, even though I didn’t get as far into it as I wanted. I read books, and I plotted a series that I have been anticipating for so long now. So even though ultimately this is a failure, I’m going to keep going and I’m going to get stronger and better.

So including the failures from before, here are my next set of quarterly goals:

.Draw full body profiles of all the Children of Different Worlds, in regular clothing and masquerade clothing plus three facial expressions. (Harper [], Angharad [], Saoirse [], Kiara [], Nazim [], Kipling [], Liggan [], Renan [], Rufus [])
