To be a Full-Time Chaotic Entity
Week 1 as a full-time Chaotic Entity
“Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” ~ Roy T. Bennett
This week has certainly been interesting. Things were achieved and things were also not achieved. And that is okay. This is just the beginning and I’m not used to being a full-time creative yet. Its literally week one.
Some quick background information on this, I did not plan to be a full-time creative. Honestly if I’d planned it, money would have been saved, and there would have been a slow progression into it. That is not how life works though.
My mom believes that I can do it.
My dad believes that I can do it.
So am I going to damn well try and do it. Because the people that love me, the people that know me. They believe in me. And that means more to my anxious, and sometimes depressed brain than anything.
We are doing this, and I will achieve something.
Weeks Achievements:
I finished the first drafts of not one, but two chapters!
The downfall being I didn’t finish draft one of the entire novella.
That is okay! I’ll use the beginning of week two to finish the draft. And it has been so long since I worked on the first chapter, that I should have no trouble picking up chapter one on August first.
Briars Hollow and The Archive Ch 11
When I wake the next morning, I am lying on the couch, and I hear a soft snoring from a few feet away. Mac is sprawled out on a blanket on the other side of the coffee table. Saying he's on the blanket is quite generous actually as he has taking up much more of the floor in front of the TV than the actual blanket. His mouth open slightly as he snores, I…
Briars Hollow and The Archive Ch 12
Together Devlin and I walk through the woods, back to where this all began, just northeast of town.
I did record a video and upload it, though it doesn’t go live until 28th of August, which is also when this post comes out! And I haven’t posted video in a while, so yay!
On top of that video, I also managed to record a vlog. The vlog clips are still on my old phone, but I hope to get it out on Friday August 1st. That will be one week after I recorded the Vlog. I make no promises on doing vlog regularly, but I might give them a try.
A Study In Chaos, only managed to get two episodes out this week, but again that is progress. I would love to get more out, but two is doing okay.
It’s Complicated: My Early Lessons With Ulcerative Colitis
Todays episode is raw, and I talk about my journey over the last three years. Mainly focusing in the form of self reflection, on the beginning of my Ulcerative Colitis journey.
Tracking Life & Art with Two Planners and Zero Chill
In this episode, I break down how I’m using my planners now that I’m a full-time creative. I talk about the two main planners I use, why I prefer physical planners over digital, and how I keep track of everything from my writing goals to daily health stuff. There are no visuals for this episode—it’s all about the real talk on planning and staying organi…
I also managed to share the video to my memberships, on Ko-fi, Patreon, and my website. I don’t really have any members yet, but I would like to start building the habit. Along with the video I also managed to share a 100 or so word snippet from my writing. I would like to do that on the days that I write. Share about 100 words to members on the days that I get words.
On top of those things I learned how to crochet scrunchies this week. I’m very excited about it. I have made three so far, two went to my niece. I haven’t fully decided if I want to try and like sell them, because I don’t want to like stress myself out with them. Or make a bunch and not have people buy them.
Thanks for reading this far, please enjoy this picture of Buddy being a good boy!
