Despite setbacks to posting on-schedule (is there even a schedule anymore? :P) I still post - eventually! It's more than I can say for some other bloggers...
Anyway, looking at some graphic design and various other freelancing jobs, it's interesting to see what's out there. There are some jobs where people are basically expected to work for pennies, such as one wherein a person was wanted to look at between 10-15 articles per day, and to rewrite these. Shady at best, but the pay of $2 per article made it a no-go.
In any case...

... it's rather unfortunate, but I haven't really been working on Zendir 3. This is due to a variety of factors including work, uni and being ill. Yeah :P
But I guess I'll give you guys something to read, despite my lack of updates. See the above? It's a fantasy painting, from http://eswalls.com/ - a non-profit collection of public-domain images (No dodgy download links, just right-click and save). If you know the artist, let me know who it is as I'd like to see some more of their works!
The website aside, I like to look at fantasy images such as the above as they can help build inspiration for stories and games. I never use the actual work depicted as the basis - for example, I wouldn't write a story about the above lady in an autumn garden playing a musical instrument. I'd probably refer to the main character playing a musical instrument to summon their mythical beast companion, though.
This kind of inspiration can be useful when you want to write some new stories, or have writer's block (wherein you run out of ideas, basically), but it doesn't really help regarding general business. I will probably see how I'm doing as I may not go into work this weekend due to my illness. If that's the case, then I will either livestream (as a new stream is overdue) or work on Zendir 3.
What do you guys want me to do?
