Depressed WAW, digging in, learning about myself

[Card29]

I don't know! Contest isn't until Oct. 30, so I have time. In the past I've always carved pumpkins related to the local sports team. But one of my many transformations through this process is losing the passion for that. I still like to watch, but I'm not crazy like I was. It brought out the worst in me, and it has really felt empty to me for a couple of years, ever since my dad (best fan-friend) passed. Didn't even get tickets this year, which has felt liberating.

SO, anyway, no sports. I've thought about something goolish, but I'm not talented enough to do faces. I have a white test pumpkin, and I'm going to *attempt* a Great Wave off Kanagawa (paint + linoleum carver). I'll probably have to go with something simpler for the contest, but it should be fun to try, anyway!

I'd love to share a picture, but I think picture uploading is disabled here. Does anyone know if sharing an anonymous image link of a pumpkin would be kosher? I know the DB people want to keep everything anonymous here, which I agree with.
