Hopefully that tablet I bought with a digitizer stylus helps some with that; it for sure will help with kana and hangul.
I have an artistic flare, but like many things my ability to focus my attention is a big limiting factor. There are times where I'll get hyper focussed and enter something similar to an obsession with a hobby or task, which allows me to accomplish a great volume of work, but it's not easy to get into. My biggest problem is the internet. I find it difficult to just switch it off and just get on with other things. I'd get so much done if I avoided it for a week.

I've got Sketchbook Pro with my tablet, and a stylus. I really should spend more time with it.
How much does it cost? I've already spent $250 on the tablet, stylus, and keyboard case. And got a good deal on it. I'm not looking to pay more.

Killdash, Firsthome, Coffee Cakes, SSC, GCoCS, Snowy, Val, Aeqy, and Replevion are my bitches.

I think Sketchbook Pro is on the iPad, is it not?

If I recall, it's around $5.

Right, I better head off. G'night, TET.

That's the funny thing. I've ne'er had any problems with rule breakage and/or moderation or anything like that.
Yet from time to time, I fall into these ponderings wether or not I should create new account for "starting anew". :I

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
