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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

I will be crocheting a bunch of Huragok. Be on the lookout for if/when they go on sale.

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!
