A (Really Long) Intro Post

Hey there, I’m Katie! Back at it again with yet another side blog. I say yet another because I have split a lot of my interests into sub-categories to make me less nervous about sharing them, I guess. Despite how bad I am at them, intro posts are supposed to have actual intros in them, so here you go?

As of right now I’m a 23 year old aroace artist and writer living in Canada, trying desperately to find a direction for my life, like most mentally ill 20-somethings do. My goals involve drawing, writing and self-publishing my own original stories, which is what this blog is for. 

I have a background in animation, but I do character design, graphic design, illustration, comics, writing and worldbuilding. I even dabble in a bit of HTML and CSS coding here and there, like some kind of multi-headed hydra (or well-established identity crisis).

I love video games, cartoons, anime, movies, music, novels, comics, a whole mess of things. With a particular focus on the cute, colourful and otherwise fantastical!

I call this blog a “storybook” because it will have content about the stories I’m making, but also a bit about my personal story while making them. I hesitate to call this blog a full-on writeblr, as there will be some writing, yes, but I will also be talking about personal experiences with creative endeavours and generally note my progress and musings on the subject. Not necessarily as curated as a typical writeblr would be. Like me, it’ll be a bit of everything. 

Why not use my personal blog for this? Well, I can’t think of another place to put this stuff (other than spamming a friend with it at 1am every so often), and I thought others might find it interesting as well if I had a dedicated place to put it rather than flooding my dash over there. Either way, I think it’ll help to put it somewhere rather than nowhere, especially if I really need to get it out of my head. As you can probably tell by now, posts like these can get very long, so having a separate place is another advantage. Anyone who might see it can choose to follow this or any of my other blogs depending on what part of me they want to see, rather than having to see all of it at once.

My current blog list, if you’re wondering:

@sweet-star-cookie​ is my main personal blog, a sort of catch-all for my interests, be it cartoons or silly videos I watch at 2am. I also reblog my art and comic posts here. I am most active here when it comes to reblogs and messaging. I do accept asks on all of my blogs, but I check this one daily.

@akysi​ is my main art blog, where I post my finished artwork on average every 3-5 days (barring any unforeseen circumstances). I’m primarily a digital artist, but I do post traditional stuff on occasion. 

@sweet-star-sketches is my sketch blog, which only updates if I have a sketch or WIP I feel comfortable with sharing, but I also link finished works if it came from that initial sketch.

@starglasszodiac​ is the blog for my current webcomic project, Starglass Zodiac (I’ll talk more about this and my other projects later on). I plan on being more active on this blog in the near future, but you can still go there for updates on the comic itself.

As a general note, while I don’t wish to turn this blog into one about mental health specifically, I have anxiety and depression, so that will likely appear in one way or another in some of these posts, especially with the ones talking about how difficult being a creative person can be. That said, I don’t want to make this blog inherently negative either, for my sake and yours. I’m just here doing stuff, and if you want to come along for the ride then welcome, fellow voyager!
