The public numbers are lagging behind, but the new Down the Rabbit Hole on EVE Online has just reached 1 million views after 38 hours, making this my most successful release by a wide margin. I couldn't have ever hoped for this sort of result. Thank you, all of you.

I've been alerted to this visual artist who started drawing in Kid Pix, a children's art program from 1989, as a joke. Then he started taking commissions. He's gotten... distressingly good. He's streaming it now, and it feels surreal.

I continue to accidentally get better at Kid Pix. If you donate for one now, current turnaround is about 2-3 days of streaming, so get in the queue sooner rather than later! We'll be streaming again in 2 hours at .

In middle school, I wrote 70 pages of a novel, read what I'd created, and concluded that I simply didn't have the skill to craft what I wanted. After getting my English degree and spending five years with Down the Rabbit Hole, maybe it's time to try telling my own stories again.

To those who feel like they don't have the talent to be a creator, I'll let you in on a secret: nobody has that talent. It's always just work and practice, and often a lot of frustration. When things get difficult, it's not talent that carries a person; it's dedication.

An update on the runtime of the new Down the Rabbit Hole, now that all narration editing is finished: when placed end-to-end, my voice runs for 5 hours, 41 minutes, and 26 seconds. The complete video will be a bit longer due to section gaps, intro, and credits.

The Wings of Redemption Down the Rabbit Hole was two hours long due to how much time I gave over to source footage. The new one may be just as long purely because of how massive the script is.
