This post is 100% a brag post about my first day as a freelancer, which went so dang well. I got up this morning and initially felt a little crummy (physically not like, about not having a day job). It was gloomy and rainy, immediately ruining my plan to start off the day with a run. But I had some breakfast, watched cartoons while I drank coffee, did yoga, and then started my day.

I can’t believe how productive it was and how good it felt to only have my own projects on my plate. I sent out my newsletter (you can subscribe here), made homemade aloo gobi, worked on an outline, and more. Plus, I did a podcast with Dan Berry too, which was a ton of fun; it will be up later this week.

I know like every day and every job, there will be ups and downs but having an excellent start to this new chapter (including exciting emails) makes me feel like this was the right choice. I can’t wait to be able to tell you more about everything I’m working on.

I dropped the news on Friday that I’ve put in my notice at my day job. As of EOD this Friday, I will be a full-time writer and editor. I’m scared but mostly excited about my future and really looking forward to this next chapter. Moving forward, I’m going to be promoting my various support systems more, such as Patreon and Ko-fi.

Patreon has been updated with new and updated tiers. I will be launching writing workshops, sending postcards out, and providing insight on my career and the industry as I can. If you don’t have the means to provide a monthly donation, I get it. I have Ko-Fi and PayPal as well so you can buy me a coffee, if you’d like to.

If you’d rather support Creator Resource and my projects that give back to the comics community, I’ve updated those links too. Supporting those accounts means that I can allocate more time to working on them. Take a look below to all available links to support me and my projects:

As a part of my new freelancer life, I’ve finally put together a list of presentations that I’m available for. I love helping people learn about the comics industry and talking about what I do! So I sat down and thought about what I could offer.

I’ve put together a list of presentations, workshops, and more. Topics include creative writing, the graphic novel process, info on becoming a writer, editing for comics, and how to collaborate.

Oh hello there! It’s April now and that means rounding up all the TV I watched in March. Why? Because I don’t know what else to do with it. IT HAS TO MEAN SOMETHING! And that something is sharing with y’all. I’d share my Letterboxd profile but I honestly haven’t watched a lot of movies lately. So here’s the list:

Tried but didn’t get into:
I added a new category into this post because there were several shows that I tried but wound up not really sticking with.

I won’t really get into the TRIED section cause like, I just didn’t connect and that’s all. But for everything else…I watched like, four seasons of RuPaul (including the one still airing). Actually, almost everything on this list is either Reality TV or an animated series? WandaVision and Wellington Paranormal being the exceptions there (which were both great).

I really enjoyed Amphibia (although major missed opportunity to call it Annphibia) and Tuca & Bertie. So with the latter, I actually tried to watch the first episode when it came out. It was an ADHD nightmare for me and put me into sensory overload. There was just so much happening! But I went back to it and wound up really falling in love with it. I’m sad that there won’t be more. Although I read somewhere that maybe Adult Swim picked it up? IDK.

I hadn’t realized that Bake-Off’s Christmas Specials were like, full-on mini competition episodes. They were a delight. Especially the one where they had the cast of Derry Girls there to compete. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

Anyways, I don’t have much else to add onto this. What have you been watching lately?
