sanest days are mad
lady of various sorrows
You have talent. That talent doesn't leave you. Inspiration may, but not talent. It's always there, perhaps in hiding, waiting for the muse, the inspiration to lure it forth. Has your focus moved away because you're away from your artsy friends, or is there another reason? Btw, I can totally relate to missing your romantic artistic friends, I'm going through that period now as I've moved away for a while. You can always make more friends online check out deviant art if you haven't. It has everything creative, from sketching, to photography to writing. It's all there in one place. And yes!! Scan them all. I stupidly threw away most of my sketches that were from my younger darker angsty period and I really regret it. I wish I could've thought to scan them. At least it occurred to you!
