Hello Friends, been a little while, right?
So yeah, as you probably saw last December I was in bad need of some time away from youtube, and after taking some time and resting up I'm back! The time off was pretty strange honestly, it felt odd not constantly working on videos and worrying about the channel, but I think it really helped me gain some perspective about the whole youtube thing, and the kinds of videos I want to make.
I think the biggest problem I faced last year was working with some unrealistic expectations, I was trying to put out a video every two weeks, which I know is not a much by a lot of youtubers standards, but it got to a point where it just wasn’t working for me. I’d spend two weeks rushing to make a video, only to then watch it that Sunday, and decide that I wasn’t happy, delete the entire thing, and start again Monday, without any real rest in between. That’s why towards the end of last year there was so many gaps of four or five weeks between videos , and why my burn out got to the stage it did. I want to avoid this in future, and the best way I can think to do it is to take my time on the videos, and upload them when I feel their ready, and i'm hoping this is going to mean that the quality of videos goes up, but also the frequency, as I wont be constantly deleting videos and having to start again, nor exhausting myself by trying to maintain a schedule I cant keep.
Anyway, if you’re reading this then that means your still here! And I want to say thank you for that, it was never my intention to have such a long gap in content, but I really appreciate your patience, I have some very big videos coming up that I’m really excited to make, and I really hope you enjoy them.
Thanks again for the continued support <3

Yeah, that's how creative work goes. Like that old restoration guy says in Toy Story 2: You can't. Rush. Art. I mean, you can... but it only makes it take longer. ^^, You're the best. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself.

It definitely sounds like you're doing better. Hopefully, it only goes up from here!
2019-02-17 22:36:20 +0000 UTCGlad to see ya back, dude. Appreciated the brief section on anxiety and the recommendation of the book. As someone who's suffered a lot from similar issues and is having a real bad time with it at the moment, I'll be sure to check it out. Wish you all the best, Mr. Wolf.
2019-02-17 21:29:35 +0000 UTCI've noticed a lot of creators I love worrying about making videos in a timely manner or meeting deadlines and you honestly shouldn't. people who watch your work aren't looking for some nonsense to listen to in the background, We love your work because of you, and you clearly put a lot of time and thought into your work, which is what makes it great. And please take the time to take care of yourself :D We all want the best for you! Thanks as always for your hard work
