A resume doesn’t need to sound fancy or overly technical, it needs to tell us why we should hire you.

“Independent novelist/writer” is more than sufficient here. If you want to express the skills that fan fiction taught you, something like, “creative writing, editing, and publication,” will get you a lot further than… Whatever that just was.

A resume should be tailored to the position, if you can afford the time and energy for that. But if not, then just think about what writing got fandom taught you. How to respond to criticism, how to present a professional pubic face, how to correct punished mistakes, creative thinking, project planning, persuasion via emotional leverage, html formatting, office suite fluency.

Hi everyone!!

There are some solutions and workarounds for turning off Windows Ink, which seems to be the root of the problem of making people’s pens go crazy. It will make your tablet actually start working decently again with your normal commands/gestures, but due to some kind of bug or whatever, turning off Windows Ink also disables pen pressure. So how do fix for a workaround? The first is the Photoshop Fix that was found by @mandyjacek (click for the thread!) where you have to go into Photoshop’s files and add in a txt file you can write very simply yourself that forces Photoshop to use the TabletPC API instead of the WinTab API. After a restart, it began working for me again more or less like it should.

The Second is in SAI:

i was almost as if the developer knew there were gonna be some bullshittin’ down the road and gave us an option. I haven’t seen a fix for CLIP STUDIO or other art programs yet, but this is at least a start until Windows and Wacom get get back to seeing one another eye-to-eye again.

first turn OFF windows ink!

Then open CLIP STUDIO and go into PREFERENCES

Finally go onto the Tablet option. from there change it from TabletPC to Wintab!

TL;DR

1. If Photoshop or Clip is open, close the programs first.

2. Hit windows key or cortana icon on the toolbar

3. Type in “command prompt” and the black windowed command prompt should pop up. It should say something like:

C:\Users\[your user]\>

4. Copy and paste the following and hit enter (making sure to remove the “ “ if it shows up after you copy it): 

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pen /v LegacyPenInteractionModel /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

5. Once you hit enter, it should say “The Operation completed successfully.”

I always wanted to make this story into a comic. *Please understand my bad English.. T_T It’s my second language.* I had a rough time during my 20s. I always had a low self-esteem since high school. But in my 20s, it went even lower. My expectation was too high for my actual skills. But instead of try harder to get better, I lost all my motivations and gave up pursuing art. One day while I was mindlessly surfing the net, I stumbled upon this amazing Korean artist’s blog. In his blog, he also wrote his life stories like a diary. And it shocked me how much he hated himself for being bad at art. And what he wrote was life changing experience for me. (* I can’t find exact quote since I forgot who he was… T_T.) He said “I gave up comparing myself with others. I just want to be better than myself yesterday. Now I feel much happier when I draw.”

notice the tension of the cloth on the figure on the top right. it twists to the figures direction.
