In the spirit of keeping this space raw and real, the ugly truth is that this year's Inktober 2018 challenge was kind of a bust for me. However, I'm happy to announce that I beat my previous record of 5 days (impressive, I know). This year, I lasted about half the month. In all honesty, I've never been consistent with anything in my life aside from brushing my teeth and other basic hygiene practices. Though I will voice a common thought of those who also partially completed Inktober (whether you lasted 4 days, or 25) when you were consistent, I bet it felt exhilarating and intrinsically rewarding.
