I'm doing 41 things
I’ve just knitted a scarf and before that I knitted a somewhat deformed hat, but I’ve still only got the basics down and wouldn’t know what to do with a knitting recipe. However I’m definitely on my way :)

How I did it
It made me
Happy 
How I did it: One day I thought: Enough procrastination, I'm doing it! It's been about five months now and I refer to myself as a vegetarian and I intend to keep being one. I feel better about myself, and that's the main reason I keep doing it. When asked I refer to the ethics of unnecessary killing of animals and the lack of resources in the world, but I doubt I'd be doing this if my feelings weren't involved. I miss the taste of meat sometimes, but t… Read how I did it…

Since I’ve been spending my time going to a liberal arts school for the last four months I haven’t drawn anything for my webcomic, but two non-related strips are done! (and a whole arc featuring a pink, nihilistic, superdeformed cat has been conceptualized—what could anyone possibly want more?)

I can’t believe it’s been nearly half a year since I published. It seems like forever and yet I remember it so clearly. The thing I got published was a short story named Faldet (The Fall in English) in Politiken (one of the biggest Danish newspapers).

Next goal: Get a traditional publisher to publish a book-length piece of fiction written by me :)
