June Highlights
Catch Ups More than Progress
Or at least not big steps.
Being Thorough Is Tough
Sometimes it can be so hard to find every request or email with a review copy. Either because something unexpected happens or because I didn’t search for the right keywords.
Hopefully there are no more surprises coming out of Boom! Learned that lesson (hopefully) enough times. At least now, I’m a little better prepared.
Just wonder if it’s worth more to do everything all at once when you get the copies. Or if it’s worth more to take it slow. Maybe that’s the nerves recovering from gastritis talking.
Getting Through Global Notifications
The toughest thing about having a back catalogue is the long process of getting through your list. For GlobalComix, it’s been finding the things I keep reading, what I finish, and what I could re-read. Going back as far as December 2024, there were a lot of things I just jumped into without actually immersing myself into.
At least I found stuff to enjoy, especially in Panick Entertainment. Must be the brand of stories that push characters and concepts to their breaking points. And the Romanian creator PaisleyRose103. It’s not often I read something that can make me cry.
Progress on Funds…
Sigh…money’s been tight this past month. Stocks and Crypto on Aliena haven’t been great. It recovered just the day after, but still. At least Acorns kept things steady.
Technically I could add more with freecash. But again, overachiever.
Fundrise too. But I’m not sure if the Quarterly dividends are worth bringing into things. I mean, my partial payouts from my investment of My Divorce Party isn’t bearing quarterlies.
Don’t even get me started with Grifin. It’s my first time using services like these and selling stocks has never been my strong suit. I’m just trying to max my stocks to $40 to sell them at their peak.
I’ve also got Honeygain, but I’m putting all my gains into something called JumpTask because apparently, I get just a bit more rewards if I do that. I could put $7 dollars in Bitcoin but it feels like I could get more with patience.
Atlas Earth…I could potentially do. Got $16 in there and growing. But I was planning to put those into PayPal to handle my expenses for services I pay through there.
Could add the money from credit card payback and Ibotta too. But I’m saving until a good amount is around and a backup.
Gotta try and get those zines together…
Guess this has been one of those slow but steady months.
No More Room For Excuses
I still worry about my health, especially since I’m still living with the aftereffects of gastritis. But I gotta try and through the things I want to do.
While having a good time doing it.
I feel like I have a better direction with some things in the book/thesis about Comics around the world.
The zines I feel like I have a good setup, but gotta get more into topics I wanna cover before I even think of putting them up.
Finally Re-Alt Earth. Some short stories I feel like finishing, definitely. But also I keep coming back to find concepts that I want to add and more. Even got my first fan on the Facebook page.
Plus, it’s an excuse to use Notion more. Got to answer some burning questions I have to ask myself in the little but important details because of it.
And have other ideas.
I just hope that down the line, I don’t spend all my time cleaning up after myself.
