Early Access - Chapter Five
Hey peeps,
So here's the next one - Another 10+ min video. And quite a lot happens too. What's the universe equivalent of 'Globe-trotty'? Space-trotty? Plus there's a bit of something for everyone - Romance. Action. Bit of suspense. Comedy. And it's educational.
Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to take a bit of a break at this point. I've made quite a lot of videos over the past couple of weeks (for my channel and for Hiru) and as a result... I'm quite tired and I just don't think the Chapter Six video is gonna be ready in time. It's another quite big, quite complicated chapter and I just wanna make sure I'm happy with it without worrying about a 'deadline' so to speak.
I have made a little talky video which I can always share with you guys as 'Early Access' later on in the week. That will probably go up on the weekend / next week on the channel. I basically just ramble in it (cos I didn't write a script) and make a few jokes but, in essence, I'm just saying there's gonna be a delay. And that I should stop drunk tweeting.
Ideally, I would have liked to have done a few more chapters before taking a break (cos I know the series has only been going for 3 weeks by the time this goes up) but... I suppose I should just take breaks when it feels right, really. I don't think anyone can accuse me of being 'lazy'. I mean... look at any YT channel that does longer (proper) Machinimas. They're either only releasing maybe 1 or 2 a month... or they have several hired editors so they can produce multiple videos faster. They're not just one guy trying to squeeze out an animated chapter of a book every 3 or 4 days.
Anywho - Hope you had a good Easter weekend. I did manage to see a friend of mine on Friday evening for the first time in months which was nice. I've been following lockdown rules very strictly so I genuinely haven't seen certain people for bloody ages and... even as introverted as I am... I still look forward to the day I can socialise and shiz.
Thanks, as always, for your support. See ya soon!

I'm really glad you know to take care of yourself and not overextend! Pushing oneself beyond their limits might sound like an admirable prospect to some, but doing so is just as likely to leave you broken and exhausted as it is to create a new, higher limit. Probably more likely to do the former, now that I think about it. Anyway, take care 💜
Thanks. Yeah; One of the only real benefits of being 'self-employed' is that you're your own boss. And as much as I can be a real slave-driver sometimes (case in point I was hungover as balls on Saturday but still forced myself to work on Hiru's video all day)... I will never allow myself to get to a stage where I feel like I HAVE to make videos rather than want to make videos. Sure, I may lose some people along the way or never grow to my channel's full potential but I'd rather be happy.
