July 2024 Progress Report!
🕑 Added 2024-08-04 18:12:14 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I'm finally writing that quick Progress Report I promised!
Thanks for your patience on the delay of this one—I've been busy working on the next season of Um, Actually, and I just had a chance to sit down and write this up.
WHAT HAVE I BEEN WORKING ON?
Mostly Um, Actually! I'm extremely excited about this next season. We've been putting a lot of work into it, and it's been nice to have a specific project to work on during this Patreon pause. It's still easier for me to make creative work for other people instead of for myself right now, so working with a lovely team of other creatives has been refreshing.
HOW'S THE PAUSE GOING?
It's going pretty well! I've sat down a few times to work on my personal stuff, and though I haven't quite cracked the "how to make work sustainably" issue, the lack of self-imposed pressure has made it a little easier.
I have finished up one video, but I haven't done the BTS edit on it, so I've been postponing the Patreon upload. As it stands, I'd love to work on my bee-related video after Um, Actually has wrapped so I can get it up on the Patreon this month and up on YouTube in September.
ANYTHING ELSE?
Not really! Which is exactly what I was hoping for during this pause.
Hope you're all doing well, and I'll have more updates soon.

Glad to see you immersed in Dropout production! I hope you can pop up in more shows! We need another Make Some Noise team up with you and SungWon, or any show really!

Your content and Dropout have both been consistent sources of joy and sunshine for me, so seeing those two worlds combine with you now working on Um, Actually has genuinely just been the loveliest thing.
Cory!
Glad you're doing well! I love seeing you on um, actually.

Glad to hear you’re having a good time and that things are progressing the way you wanted them to. You deserve your success and we’re all rooting for you! Edit: also wanted to say I have been binge-watching your WTWYDYA series while knitting a sweater and it has been extremely helpful in getting me to chill out before bed instead of getting caught in a doom scrolling spiral until 4am

Sounds like you’re doing well! Life goes on I suppose. Here’s to August!
