I am tired.
But I just wanted to make a list of a few prizes I've never received from peoples.

Contest Winnings, 2 busts, Sinsy and Mitch [link] (Late)
Contest Winnings, outline, Sly Foxx, [link] (Late)
Contest Winnings, sketch, BevFluffable, [link] (Late)
Kiriban Caught, arts, Cami and Opel (really late)

And now, everything I just put on Tumblah, copypasted.

I'm now going to tell you my plans for the future (next 2 years or so), and I know this only concerns a small group of people, but hey, I need to get things rolling. And I have a feeling that if I post it publicly, either it'll give me motivation to keep working or people can poke me when I get lazy.

The Goal: Going on a 2 month Summer Internship to England with PSU, Summer 2013.

The Reason: I missed out on the application deadline for going Spring 2013, so Summer is next best.

Cost: 15,000USD+. The website currently says for this year, the cost would be about 9000USD without the costs of food and 'fun', being like anything else I'd want to buy/do while over there. So I know I'll at least need 10,000 for next year, possibly more if prices rise. Also, I need to pay off my car before I go anywhere, which has totaled to about 4,500 right now. I think 15,000 is a good goal to aim for.

Plan:

Part 1: Get a summer job. Currently I have applications at 25 different places, and nobody is hiring. I have a feeling if I applied 2 weeks ago my chances of getting a job would've improved 300%. Oh well, still trying.

Part 2: Commissions. Now that I'm 18, I can actually directly take the money into my own paypal account. I just need to get people to buy from me, which is kinda hard cause I feel that nobody likes my art cept my friends, and my friends are all brokish.

Part 3: Do webcomics. Soon I'll have 3 webcomics running, 2 of them updating regularly and 1 just whenever I have time. The reason why is to help with part 2. I don't need them to make me famous, but I'm hoping that by doing webcomics, I may be able to pull a few people in just to commission me or even be kind enough to donate to me.

Part 4: Writing Contests. Been hunting down free-to-enter writing contests, specifically ones with cash prizes. Most ask for stories under 1000 words, which are easy for me to pump out and edit, after, y'know, nanowrimoing. Hopefully some will bring me in a little cash.

Part 5: Scholarships. Cause I'm not a fan of scholarships that give out money just because someone is female, homosexual, pregnant, black, etc. I'm planning on enter a lot of those 'write an essay about why you deserve our monies' scholarship contest thingys. Hopefully, like the writing contests, I'll be able to pull in money from those too.

Suggestions: If anyone has any suggestions to how I could raise more money for this cause, just drop me a note. I need all the help I can get.

TL;DR I need a shitton of money and soon I'll be opening commissions and stuff so gimmie you money.
