1. I'm sitting on my hands not to buy new pens/inks, EXCEPT I do technically have £14 of Xmas money left over, so I could if I wanted to!
I mean, I can't afford one of the fountain pens I want, but there's other things I want besides those. Things I have been wanting longer!
2. I am this close to finishing Royal Assassin! I tried to get it done last night, but my brain was just like, nope!, so I didn't. I've got like, forty pages? If that? Having a bit of déjà vu again with the current situation Fitz has found himself in so again, wondered if I had a look while mum was reading it.
Assassin's Quest is EVEN LONGER! *cries*
3. I scanned some stuff I have been doing recently! I have updated my sketchblog, and it will start auto-updating from there for a couple of weeks or so (hopefully by which time I will have done some more stuff!)
I want to make some prints of some of the things (and some older things), but need to do some tests first. I'm sure my printer can handle it, but it's always good to do a trial run.
4. I am debating making a patreon.
I used to have one, but I never launched it because I felt like I didn't deserve it, so I eventually deleted it. I am a bit leery about it because of how the owners have treated smaller creators in the past, and also because I don't know if anyone will sign up to it. I know people like my work, but do they like it enough to give me money for it? I don't know.
I also don't know what I would do about patreon only stuff.
(I do also have a kofi page but I'm not really sure how that's supposed to work. I know when I picked it, I did because it seemed to be less pressure than a patreon but now I don't know! And also because they don't take anything from the money you receive, where patreon do).
5. I think I have finally figured out an acceptable (to me) way to make a zine! I know I have been going on about this for literal years at this point, and I keep not ending up with an end product (except for the time I did and then didn't put it up for sale because of crushing self-esteem problems). But this time I am determined!
I even figured out a way to do it without having to think about double-sided printing (which I did figure out, but that was months ago now, and I've forgotten what I learnt). So yay! Just got to put it all together and see if it works!
6. Hope you are all okay and looking after yourselves. And if you're not okay, I offer internet hugs, and I hope you feel a bit better soon.
