My last journal entry is almost 2 years old, so it's about time for a new one.
I had some big changes in my life last year. After 12 years I quit my job of pediatric ICU nurse. It's not that I didn't like working with kids anymore. No, I simply had to admit to myself that my job was killing me, for many reasons. I guess at some point I also realised I had seen enough kids die. Sure, we had a lot more children who managed to leave our unit happy and as good as new again. But it's often the once who died that stayed with me in my thoughts.
I now work on a unit for haemodialyse. Which is where people go to 3 times a week when their kidneys don't function anymore. It's mostly elderly people I work with now, but I do like my new job a lot. I'm working there now for almost 7 months, so I can say I did make the right choise. I will always miss working with kids of course. Ah well, one can never have everything they want out of life I guess.

Artwise I believe anyone can notice that I hardly did any new work over the last 2 years. Mostly because my old job used to leave me tired and drained every day. It was easier to escape into the world of everquest 2. Spending too much of my free time playing that game.
Recently though I seem to feel a bit inspired again to use my creative side. Not sure if I'll be doing a lot of work in Vue 6, because my pc is dying, and so is my monitor. It shows everything way too dark, so I have no way of actualy knowing the colors and brightness that others see in my work.
I am however writing again. Ever since I was a kid I used to write stories. There was even a time when I wanted to become a writer. In a way it's kinda funny how simple life seems to a child.
Inspired by some books I read though I am now actualy working on a story again. And it feels great. It makes me remember when I was a kid and sat there writing down my stories. Life really was simple back then.

Ah well, I suppose this is enough of an update to last me another two years.

Well sort of. I have had less time lately, and therefor I barely logged on DA for the last weeks. Ofcourse I have a bunch of messages and deviations to go through now, it'll take some time but I will get there.
I am also on non active when it comes to 3d graphics because I need a new harddisk. I'm saving up for it right now, and when I got it I will finaly be able to install Vue 6 and try it out! I got so many ideas in my head.
When I finaly have that harddisk I am also going to try to create some final renders in poser 5 using some of the beautiful backgrounds by Patslash. I have always used Vue to do the final render in, so this will be some sort of challenge to myself, and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully they don't turn out to bad, lol.

Anyway, that's it I guess. Hopefully I'll come back sooner this time.

Hi,

has anyone ever bought a print through DA? And are you happy with it?
I have recently been considering buying a print, but I am not sure if I should.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can answer.

Wendy

To let you all know, I am back online in the mean time. Trying to reply to everything I missed before.

Wendy

Well, I am at the moment at my parents house to get some things done and thought I could pop in to check on the folks here on DA. I know now that it will be only on 4 december that my new house will be connected to the phone and internet. So it will be a bit longer then I expected. But I got to work a lot in November, so I expect the month to fly past very quickly. I miss you all very much, but will try to pop in now and then when I am at my parents house.

Greets and hugs,
Wendy
