Cool little update

Career: Didn't apply to anything. Haven't heard back from the two positions I applied to I mentioned in the last log

Writing: An iota of work on outlining a novel. I have a few ideas percolating from just that little work, but I haven't put those to paper yet

Reading: Finished The Things They Carried by Tim O' Brien. It's a memoir of the author's time in Vietnam peppered in with some fiction he wrote. It's okay. I remember seeing kids in high school having to read it for class and that's what prompted me to buy it a while back. I am glad I read it but I'm not over the moon about the book.

Art: Nothing I did but something cool happened to me. I got scouted! Saw the message this morning, and honeslty was shocked. My art is a bunch of crappy MS Paint doodles. People who get scouted have legit talent. I did see in the message that if I submit enough low quality stuff to the portal I could get unscouted so what better motivation to learn how to create art. Learning basic fundamentals would be a good start. But enough about my self-doubt and lack of talent because I want to express me gratitude. To whomever scouted me, thank you so much! In a way I feel as though I've been knighted. I'm glad that inspite of, or maybe because of, the simplicty and crudeness of my art, people enjoy it. And that one of those people took the time to scout me. It's humbling to know someone likes my stuff enough to do that for me. I am honored and privileged to be scouted. And I'll work to retain that honor and privilege. Thanks again for scouting me!
