Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated

While being able to put a name to a problem or host of problems that have been haunting you for an extended period of time (in this case, I refer to my recent... well, semi-recent, ADHD diagnosis) can be a huge step forward, just having that label is far from the entirety of the solution.  Big surprise, right?  Ok, so that might sound a bit obvious, but sometimes knowing something and fully understanding what that knowledge means for you in your own life can be drastically different things.

I have a history heavily peppered throughout with big plans for large, amazing projects and endeavors, most of which ever moved much further than initial planning stages.  Amongst the wreckage have been a couple of blogs on which I posted not much more than an initial introduction and a post or maybe two.  While knowing that this tendency was most likely related to my attention issues was enlightening, actually figuring out a way to guide myself back to those projects and follow through on them and actually have something come out of them beyond mere ideas is proving to be proving to be more of a challenge.  I have big plans for this blog, numerous posts that at the moment live only in my head until I actually put fingers to keyboard to share them with you.  The difference between now and the past is that I have a greater resolve and a growing set of coping techniques to assist me in keeping up with that plan.  To that end, I do hope that you good readers out there (all three of you, at the moment, hello ^_^) will stick with me through the occasional unplanned hiatus that comes from my attention being taken up by other projects.  In this last case it was my first successful attendance of an anime convention with a table in their Artist Alley, a post about which will be coming in the next few days, complete with lots and lots of photos, so stay tuned.

And to keep you engaged and hopefully coming back for more, I open up the comments to any and all suggestions for topics that you would be interested in seeing.  Ideas for tutorials that you would like to see are especially encouraged as I have a million ideas on that front but no clear on where to start off.
