oh man sorry everyone for my absence! i spent the last couple of weeks prepping for my last day, training my replacement, and all that fun stuff lol
so here's a quick updated for those who are interested! lol!
today is my FIRST OFFICIAL DAY unemployed from my 9-5
I'm nervous affffffff xD
so far, I had breakfast/coffee, took care of the animals, worked out, showered, updated social media accounts, and paid for ads/boosted posts.
it is now noon o'clock. o.o
i have a few things that i know will keep me busy and eventually bring some income... but that has been a slow process so far and might take some more time before anything comes out of it. it is for a webcomic, though, which should be on Tapas - eventually!
in the mean time, i've been working on some music and a couple clients I picked up over the last few weeks.
and since i come from an office background, i've made a ton of spreadsheets to document projects, income, keep track of taxes and expenses, etc, etc, etc. so, i'm feeling pretty good there, at least! lol!
thank you all so much for the kind words of support and the super useful advice!
to clarify for those who had asked - i am not an artist - not an illustrator, comic artist, anything that involves drawing. my area of expertise is writing and music, so that's what's on my website and what i offer to clients. right now, i'm focusing more on writing, specifically with scripts for webtoons since I've been having fun with that and have a few projects in progress. unfortunately, i can't display those on my portoflio/website just yet, until things are officially announced. i know that's the biggest thing that may be holding me back right now - people are looking, but not seeing much for content right now. which is also why i'm trying to push my patreon and try to work on some other content in the mean time. again, i think these upcoming comics will be the push that i need... its just been a slow process.
in other news, i'm starting to actually get reactions to my social media posts, especially on tumblr! so, finger's crossed that will help a bit!
trying to make interesting tiers on patreon is giving me some anxiety too, but i think i'm feeling pretty good about what i've got so far!
on the plus side, i've actually been sleeping better/feeling more alive overall now that i'm out of that dramatic office!! let's hope it stays that way lol!
okay i think that's all for updates. maybe ill shamelessly plug my tumblr blog since i'm a little more casual on there with providing actual updates. (but it was more of a gamer blog before so it's slowing being transitioned lol)
