TLDR;
February was a bit of a struggle this year. I got Draft 2 of Book 2 finished, completed a little animation for stream, and got some work done.
ART, ANIMATION, COMMISSIONS, & MERCH
- I've got a new POD shop to replace DesignByHumans. This place is called Fourthwall. I am slowly going through the site, but here's what I have so far.
- I actually got some work done on "Grekane eats Sora". I did a quick render that I'll upload to subscription sites, like SubscribeStar and Patreon, maybe Ko-fi.
- I finished a new animation for my BRB screen, which is an ad for my book, Usek: Haven's Last Blade.
- I also got some work done on my current commission. I am slowly getting there. I've hit a bit of a bottleneck though as I'm on the clothing section.
BOOKS, COMICS, FANFIC, & MANGA
- I got Draft 2 for Book 2 done.
- I'm going to do the NaNoWriMo pace for this month. I may bounce between various books, but we shall see.
- I changed the name for my light-hearted fantasy manga series. Once I'm certain I've nailed it, I'll share it first on Twitch and my other streaming channels, then I'll share it here.
- I'm thinking about doing a kids book about the frog and the scorpion. There's the traditional version and a 'new' version of the parable, but I plan on adding my own twist.
- Sadly, I didn't get into Barnes & Nobel stores, but I am in a brick and mortar store, Blue Apple Bookstore. At the moment, it doesn't look like you can order from her shop online, so if you'd like to get my book, it's available for purchase from Amazon.
STREAMINGS
- Charity stream completed and super successful. Raised $1500 in 12 hours. I am both so very happy and terrified. If you'd like to donate in order to fun a 2nd supply crate, click here.
- There were multiple reward tiers hit, two of which are the Month of Facecam and Month of No head covering. I started those right after the charity stream was done.
- I plan on doing the Smurf Week on the 2nd week of March. We shall see if that holds up.
- Currently, my lovely community on Twitch hit 2 of 3 ways to get a 12 hour stream from me, so I'll be trying to figure out when in March I will do those.
OTHER PROJECTS
- I am crocheting more Huragok. If I start selling them, the best place to find out is on my Twitch.
- Oh! There's now two things I need to put down at the end of newsletters. One is my book. The other is my discount for tea! SO...
As always, the ebook, paperback, and hardcover are available for purchase over on Amazon and you can use code 'RAPTOR' at checkout for 10% off your order at Cheeby Tea! I recommend the Jasmine Green Tea, Black Mojito Tea, and Peach Black Tea.
WITH ALL THAT SAID
The weather has bounced between freezing and hot and it doesn't look like it will let up anytime soon. Honestly, I'm looking forward to the rain. Hopefully I'll be able to sit outside on the porch and get to enjoy it.
Y'all, please be safe, be careful, make good decisions, and I will see you in the next newsletter!
TLDR;
January was a nice start to my year. Wrote over 70k words in the span of a month. I even made a lil art video on Youtube.
ART, ANIMATION, COMMISSIONS, & MERCH
- I did a little art challenge video and uploaded it on Youtube. I'd like to do more because that one was fun to make! I haven't done traditional art in a while.
- Commissions will be open until the end of the month.
- Speaking of commissions, I am about halfway through the one I'm working on.
BOOKS, COMICS, FANFIC, & MANGA
- I have my first public book signing on February 7th! The book store that I'll be at even made a post!
- I am still working on Book 2. I've gotten Draft 2 of the first 13 chapters rewritten as of this post, and have 8 chapters to go.
- On the book, I tried to do a NaNoWriMo writing pace, which is 50k in a month, for January. I ended up writing 71,562 words. Mind you, this was while I was taking two days off a week.
- I wrote a little on my light-hearted fantasy manga series. I've got everything outlined, ending included and I've written my rules for how to keep the tone.
STREAMINGS
- Did a nice chunk of streaming this month. Not bad, all things considered.
- I have one 12-hour stream next month.
- I also have a CHARITY STREAM on February 8th, starting at Noon CST. This will be the 4th annual Colonel Charles Fry Memorial stream, raising money for StackUp once again. - I have finally finished something I can use for the WEEK OF SMURF streams. It doesn't look great, but it exists. That's better than nothing. Honestly, I've put this stream off for way too long due to perfectionism.
OTHER PROJECTS
I will be crocheting a bunch of Huragok. Be on the lookout for if/when they go on sale.
WITH ALL THAT SAID
There's been a lot of crazy weather and crazier events going on right now. Y'all, please be safe, be careful, make good decisions, and I will see you in the next newsletter!
