If you're a writer who is looking to stay organized, on task, and wants a simple but powerful tool to create with, I invite you to check out LegendKeeper. I created a project showing you how to use it as well as included several templates to use in your own projects.

Post for my own accountability:
New Goal: draw every day and post progress on this app.
Hopes: Posting will keep me accountable, and hopefully train me up as I turn my eyes to bigger projects I have been sitting on.
Increase my comfort and skill levels in multiple media and styles.

I suddenly may have a lot of downtime next week (been running a summer camp) and I am thinking it may be time to implement a goal.
I have been wanting for a long time to start drawing daily and make it routine, but I haven't had a healthy way to keep myself accountable. Sorry in advance...

"Be authentic and creative" and "Ch*st G*PT can help you" don't belong in the same sentence.
"It's ok to use Mid*journey to generate a simple reference" and "I care about the environment" don't belong in the same sentence.
I'm disgusted to see "colleagues" who think this way. Disgusted.
