Obviously, a ME post and not an AFF post. You've been warned, hohoho ^0^

What have I been up to?

This has got to be the most productive and creative month I had here in AFF and September is not yet over. And I am so happy!

1. Aside from my profile and thread layouts, I was able to put up five new layouts (one is not for sale) at the Layout Market. I have four more that are hidden. And about seven .txt files in my folder.

2. I also made cover images and backgrounds. I opened Photoshop once again after such a loooooooooong time. I realized I have to practice using the PEN tool again. The size that worked for me is 420x600 :3

3. I was able to write a RoleplayRepublic guide, even though I am not a roleplayer and I don't usually go there. I also updated my other guides afterwards. 

4. I composed two new poems. And there is another one inside my head...

5. I just finished the first draft of the next chapter of one of my stories. What I accomplished in two nights is such a feat. HAHA. But it's still almost a month since I last updated. I guess that is my rate ^^ I am such a slow poke. I will update on Friday night.

What I plan on doing?

candicane posted a blog about manga terms the other week the same time I received a notif in my email that Kimi ni Todoke was updated. Anyway, I usually skip the comic strips at the end featuring impatient and irate manga readers demanding where the next chapter is. But this time, I decided to look more into it and it led me to my first search for CLEANERS and TYPESETTERS.

I believe I have just added another bullet in my bucket list. I want to volunteer as a CLEANER, then a TYPESETTER and eventually, level up from CLEANER to RE-DRAWER (the latter is just an advanced CLEANER). I don't have any previous experience so I must build my portfolio first if I want to get hired.

I started by looking up tutorials and downloading some manga raws. But I will move this project next year because I still have stories here and other commitments in real life. I just want to share it with you. Perhaps someone is interested in creating a manga scanlation group? 

Anyway, the plan is still the same. Finish my on-going fanfics. Read. Code. Design. Blog. 

EXTRAS

Once again, I would like to thank everyone for your support and kind words.

Boss Nichi celebrated his birthday last September 15, that was two days ago. And I was just reminded of it through chunlocked's post yesterday. Send him a greeting. I planned to update you guys about it but AFF went offline and I was side-tracked.
