August update about life... and stuff... (Patreon)
Content
HEYA GUYS, I wanna give some update about my life currently, and maybe some of my thoughts... heads up it's gonna be a bit vent-ey around the middle so feel free to skip that if you don't wanna see sdlfkjdsflsdjf
FIRST OFF... I got a setup update!!! I got a split keyboard, so hopefully I don't break my arms whenever I need to type (before, I would have to lean all the way to the left where my keyboard is, because my drawing tablet is directly in front of me).
SORRY 4 SHITE PICS HAHA
Next, about merch... GAH I can't tell exactly what date I will launch my online store yet, but all of the items have arrived in my warehouse! It's only a matter of preparation on their end, and product photos from my end. I'm really hoping to get all that done just barely at the end of the month or super early September.
Here's some of the catalogue, I'll be posting the full thing once I have an exact launch date.
Hmm... another thing is I've started limiting my access to twitter/instagram, so if you see me not tweeting for a few days, don't worry I'm just not in there for a while. Actually please slap me if you see me there because I don't wanna be there...
OK SO NOW IT'S VENT SECTION BABEY...
It's been a bit hard to work on the comic lately (even though I managed to get ahead of my schedule haha,,,) I NEED TO GET MY MOJO BACK
I think... part of it is because I've been reading a lot of comments about the comic (OK THAT SOUNDS LIKE IM ACTIVELY READING THEM, nah it's just one day I HAPPENED to see webtoonofficial Instagram's post about Boyfriends), and it's really discouraging to see all the mean comments... and it's like??? I keep asking myself why I get so bothered about it, when a lot of other people have been very supportive. I know I should only listen to my editor and my peers... but my tiny hamster brain keeps tripping up whenever I see bad comments... I think it's very ungrateful of me to keep thinking about this, but, AHH idk my brain bad...
I feel like at some point I should have grown a backbone, I really don't get how bigger creators can stand even worse. It really sucks. I keep thinking why do I even make this comic anymore if it doesn't make me happy. Even though I am very thankful for all of the support, I make this comic for myself first and foremost (ok it's actually for my contract first and foremost AND THEN for myself).
BUT YEAH umm I'm not looking for a pity party or anything, I'm not really looking for a solution or words of affirmation, I just wanna get all this stuff out of my head? Hopefully it will pass (it usually does lol, I recover pretty quickly). I hope to regain some love for this series again, because it is my baby... But then again, Boyfriends isn't the only story I want to tell, so even if I don't, it's not really the end of the world.
ALRIGHT SORRY FOR THE WALL OF TEXT thank you so much for staying around everyone, hope you all have a good day!!!
