So, I think my laptop of 6 months is dead. Or at least will be dead soon. The hard drive is having issues and it really frustrates me. I swear I shouldn't be allowed to have a laptop because I always somehow kill the hard drive no matter how careful I am with them. (has practically gone through 4 hard drives in two laptops in the past 6-7 years)
Yes, I bought this laptop used because that's all I could afford, but the specs were awesome! But the past few weeks it's been freezing up, making loud clicking noises at me, lagging, and a whole bunch of problems. And last week I reset the thing in hopes of fixing the issue but it still was having issues. One of them being that the CPU usage was close to 0% but the Disk usage was always jumping up to 100% on a regular basis when I wasn't really doing much on the laptop.
The type of laptop I have:
Toshiba Satellite S55-A5295
Intel Core 3630 QM Quad Core
12 GB RAM
Large 1 TB Hard Drive
Windows 8.1
-sighs-
So I'm going to be going back to doing artwork on the desktop, however, the monitor sort of sucks. So if my coloring is off, that's why. T^T
I shall look into replacing the hard drive in hopes of being able to use this laptop for a lot longer than just 6 flippin months. LOL
On another note...
I've been in a writing mode so I have a lot of new projects going on. Of course, Senseless is still on a roll~ After I get to chapter 7 script writing, then I'll begin the process of drawing the actual manga. This will be a challenge, but I feel I'm a lot more confident in my artistic ability to do it justice. I'm still deciding if it should be in full color or simply black and white. Any thoughts?
Thank you everyone for your support and patience!
Feel free to send me a note or comment~
I try to post WIP on a regular basis (everyday except weekends)

Late night musings...
I've been contemplating more on why I create artwork and I've found that the majority of time... I've been doing it for the wrong reasons. I shouldn't create for the sake of followers, likes, or to simply be liked by everyone. For one, I cannot please everyone, that's impossible. Secondly, if I allow fulfillment to come from others, then my mood of accomplishment would simply feel hollow and fleeting. Which...in truth, has left me in depression spells quite often! Lately, I create artwork for the sake of getting people to like me, my artwork, and my stories when...in reality, what have I actually done to do any sort of justice for these characters or my stories? All of these years and I have very little to show when it comes to my own things. I've done many drawings for other people as gifts (in hopes that they'll draw my characters in return so not really gifts at all lol) or as commissions. Given, I do not mind doing these things at all and I'm not complaining seeing how I highly

My brother lost 2 HDs in the same notebook, googled up the model and found out everyone with a similar one was having issues. That's really a shame. D:
If you absolutely must use your laptop, do as my brother did: put a bootable version of Linux inside a flash drive and boot your computer using it. No space for saving stuff, but will do an okay job at some basic stuff.
Best wishes!
