 Dear past me, I know this is a little cheesy and probably not for much benefit but I've been feeling a little down on myself lately and I'm not sure why. I keep thinking I have to try harder to do better to be better. I think of all that I have accomplished so far and you guys I'm pretty sure that I've reached 100 subscribers but my internet's not working so I can't check. So watching my day, please like and subscribe. Hi guys, welcome back to week. And all I can think about is I need to make more, I need to do more, be more. Doing this exercise will hopefully show how far we've come. If you're listening to this now, thinking that you feel the same way, know that it never goes away, I think. All we can do is keep going, all I can do is try. From day one to now, knowing that I've backed myself, knowing that I did all this work because I had a passion for it, because it was enjoyable and people seemed to like it, I think there should be a certain pride in that. Dear past me, look how far we've come. Keep going. Hey everyone, welcome to this vlog. It is Sunday evening. I am just working on something quite cool. I'm just lying in bed. I'm working on how I make comics kind of doodle thing for my patrons. I'm thinking about releasing this at the five dollar tier and I just want to do a really long explanation of how I make comics and how I get ideas and then my process and stuff because I thought it would be interesting for people. I sketched out a whole thing in my sketchbook and I'm going to try and doodle out on the iPad to make it a bit more interesting looking, I don't know, and then put it up on Patreon. I'm thinking I'm going to make this the Patreon print this month, maybe. I like postcard size though, so I'm probably going to do something like that size, I'm not sure. Or I don't know if I like this one a bit more, like postcard size, the witch's convenience store in the sky. I really liked doing this model, like the details and stuff, and then I could do items from the shop or stickers like the skull and things, I think that would be really fun. So yeah, that's just what I'm working on, it's Sunday evening, I'm waiting for Love Island to come on because the football is on. It's England versus Italy and I super don't care. Link, I'm just like, oh, football, whatever. We've got this massive beanbag from my sister, she was throwing it out and it's super comfy and it just fits perfectly here, it doesn't look that nice but it's super comfy. Pretty much the evening so far, it's kind of late, so I'll probably just go to bed in a bit. I want to watch Love Island first though, which is on at 11 my time, which is kind of late, but... Oh, also a development in my working from home. You can see that my work computers are back here because my sister-in-law actually got COVID and even though most of the population here is vaccinated, I mean it's still around and then my office was like, okay, you can work from home because even though I didn't have to self-isolate, I would have to go in, wear a mask and see it like separate from people, so it was kind of like, what's the point? It's not great, my sister-in-law getting COVID is kind of awful and she seems like she's okay though, she's like, just got the flu... Well, not just got the flu, she's got the flu and stuff. So, I hope that she says she's feeling a lot better, so I hope that it's not going to be too bad for her. What are you looking for coming in here? I love you. It's late, so I'm going to read of my Kindle. At the moment, we're reading Tales of Earthsea, A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula Kaye. I think it's Le Guin, I think that's how you say it, for my Patreon book club. So, it should be good. I've heard really good things about her work, but I've never read anything of hers, except I have read her writing book where she talks about how to write books and stuff, so it's a little bit different. And I've just realised that I've picked up Chris's Kindle. Kubi's coming to see me. Hello Kubi, hello. And yeah, so that's it, I'm going to read my book and try and get some sleep, because I'm tired. And my sister's coming around tomorrow to help with packaging, some more orders. So it should be Kubi. It should be a good day. So, goodnight. Granny typing. So, my sister is helping me today with these parcels. Yes, say hello, granny typist. Because I'm working today from home, I need some help. So she's kindly come to help me and she has to fill out all these declaration forms for bloody Brexit stuff. Yeah, so much fun, not in focus. But yeah, that's it, so enjoy that, Harriet. Whizzing through it, mate, whizzing through it. Oh my god, you say that now, but Harriet, when you were like a few, it is so painful honestly when I did it. It's just mind-numbing, isn't it, because it's just nonsense. And as a reward, you get to read the comics for free. She is getting paid as well, we should say that. I've been working on next month's rewards for Patreon for August. I'm definitely doing the print of the shop, of the convenience store in the sky, and then all the little things are going to be stickers of what you have purchased in the store. I'm going to have lots of fun with this one, and I've already started the process of making the stickers. So if you guys want to check out that, then check out the picture in down below. So I'm editing this vlog and I realise that I haven't said goodbye in the footage, so I'm just going to say goodbye now. And if you fancy checking out my Patreon, the link is down below in the description, and please like and subscribe for more content, and I will see you next time. Bye!
