July Challenge + and how I am feeling.

Afternoon everyone. I wanted to do a public post to why I have been doing this :D

I got a few personal messages and comments about burning myself out and some other things and I wanted to talk for a few minutes here.

Also I have been busy and I haven't been able to respond to everyone who has contacted me. I am trying to but if you have something important to ask make sure to ask!

If it's important, please make sure to say more than "Hello!" so I know it's important :)

This challenge has a few purposes:

• To reboot myself to working regularly

• Setting a better schedule than I have.

• Efficiency, like skipping tiny problems in the video and models.

• Get in the mental habit of working regularly again

• Catch up on videos I've started but didn't finish

• Also get some balloon and bubble only stuff mixed in better

• For fun

• To thank everyone for sticking with me

This last year I have been struggling with some internal depression and some other IRL things that have been bothering me. Every time I thought I got it done, it came back at me. It would cycle and I couldn't get out. This cycle had to be broken somehow.

I got tired of making excuses and decided that the one thing I can do that kept me working on things, was setting a deadline.

Getting out of a depression cycle is difficult, and yes I did go a bit hard, but I love doing animation. I was worried for a bit I was burnt out, and it wasn't that. I just need a better schedule and a due date so I can stop making excuses.

Once July is over I want to switch to a weekly schedule and with streaming some animation work with patrons on the discord server. I'm still planning this so I don't know how to do it exactly yet...

+I'd like to include at least one week with something with the VIPs in the discord server each month. A new character suggested or such... So I'll contact the higher tiers when I go to start. Feedback would be awesome to help me with this :D

Anyway that's all for now. I'll be back later tonight/morning with the next video :D

Thank you everyone for all of the different kinds of support you've given and being patient with me!
