The Office Tour
🕑 Added 2022-05-28 02:47:29 +0000 UTCHey guys, it's been a little while since I showed off my office space, so I just wanted to show you how that's looking.
I've been trying to find a good couch that folds out in to a guest bed, but nothing feels quite right.
I've been talking to a few different reps from different companies, and am currently trying to nail down a content schedule that I can maintain to grow my brand and keep them all happy. It goes something like this:
Saturday (start of the new week)
- Pick a theme for the week (last week was Rapier Tapir vs. Animal Opponents)
- New comic
- Pick a Webtoon comment of the week to highlight
- Track my stats for the previous week to report to brand reps
Sunday
- New comic
- #ScreenshotSaturday for Swords : Edge of Chaos (My Sunday is Americas Saturday)
Monday
- Instagram reel : #MysterySwordMonday
- Check my green diary (The Qwest Log)
- Answer emails
Tuesday
- Work meetings
Wednesday
- Morning catch-up with my old workmates
- New comic
Thursday
- Instagram carousel : #ThrowbackThursday - recap the 3 new episodes, plus a few old episodes that give them extra context. Includes an ad for Threadless (or whatever important thing I'm pushing that week).
Friday
- Work meetings
- Instagram reel : #FanartFriday - showcase some fanart from the Swords Discord
When it comes to voting on the weekly theme, I might make it a Patreon reward next time I'm refreshing my rewards here.
Outside of this schedule, I'm still working on Swords : Edge of Chaos, as well as spending one day a month working on Swords : Pens and Papercuts (I haven't had a lot of feedback so far, and mostly it was focused on what to remove instead of what to add, but I'll drop a new version at the start of each month) and I am finally getting the Gladiator Tier Swor'nament started where I can spare the time (currently about 1/3 of the participants intro episodes are in progress).
Since a few people are asking, I will finish all 16 intro episodes and then drop them as daily updates for a two week period.
I also need to figure out where to fit more Stars in to all of this - chasing that 3 comic a week schedule has put it on the back-burner for a while.
I've considered joining the Webtoon Call To Action contest, but to me, the real value would be dropping it on the first day the contest opens to drive traffic back to Swords, and that is only 3 days away. There's two months to submit something, but I squandered my opportunity, really.
In me news, I finally started reading again. I just finished The Art Of War. I barely learned how to paint a thing.
Also, I've just hit my lowest weight in over a decade. According to my doctor, I've lost about 19kg since Swords started, which really surprised me to hear.
Unfortunately, I also chipped one of my front teeth, so now I have to spend all my ill-gotten gains on fixing all my other teeth at the same time so they'll do the front one. Bummer.
I hope that was an illuminating rant. Feel free to ask nosey questions. Thanks again for your support!
