So, right now, we have crossed into the second last week of 2022.

Which means Chrimmus is just a week away (can you believe it?)

And 2023 is two weeks away, of course.

So in response to the previous journal, I'll say some things.

The progress of the 40-day resolutions

Right now I have been able to do a bit of those resolutions, but not as much as I expected.

It's okay, I think I'd have to approach what I did with a growth mindset (I did progress!) instead of a fail or win mindset (thinking that I failed the challenge)

I did 2 of the 3 commissions I promised to do, and the third one might come soon.

The Minecraft thingies had some progress.

And the Secret Santa thingie is also on its way.

As for the PMD comic, I did do two new pages, which means I'm at 14 pages for now, and since NG put a comic category, I might upload them here.

Now that I mentioned my progress, I might want to talk about my pace.

I wasn't as fast as I expected, but there are two great reasons behind that...

Uuuahh... mah mummah made it!!!

My mummah went onto surgery to let the food go from the stomach to the intestines (I think) and now she's feeling so tired, only having jelly and chicken soups for dinner, and almost falling shreepy after 15 minutes of walking.

So, to help her, I had to do the chores she usually does.

She will get better soon, she might go back to full health in around two weeks.

Secret Project for 2023

If I put it here is it not a secret anymore?

Okay, I've been writing an epic poem that will be around 50k words long.

It might be the greatest expansion to Kespuzzuo lore in that moment.

It all started with notes and ideas laying around on OneNote, which I planned to use for art, but then I ended up having too many of them, so I came up with the solution of turning it into a book.

Right now the draft has 26k words, and I plan to finish it between the end of December and early January.

After that I'll edit the poem like a novelist until the release date.

The release date will be at the end of February.

What about the other 40-day resolutions?

I planned to reach 20 pages on the PMD comic, but, I might not do it because of what I mentioned before.

But, I might do that and reveal Emronia's friend in January.

The music? I think I could make music themed after the epic poem, like making character themes and music about the places that appear in the poem.

And the animation? That could also be about the poem, like adapting one pretty good scene to a video.
