Not to mention Shawn Ashmore is in it. Every time he comes to my work I wanna salute to him. But I think he'd ever wanna come back :(
This morning I got out of work early and talked with Ponies over some Bats Day related things.
He's tried to convince me in the past to accompany and help run the InkBleed Books booth at the Bats Day Black Market. I've never really been into those kinds of events really. Especially with such an aesthetically dependent event. I'm even antisocial within the stereotypically but ironically not really antisocial ... antisocial "freaks". Is that weird? If I were a superhero, I'd be Defectiva. Doing everything wrong, socially.
"HELP, DEFECTIVA. OUR WEDDING IS RUINED!"
"..best time saver, ever?" *walks off awkwardly into a walgreens to hide in the snacks section*
Anyway, we brainstormed about what to sell there aside from the obvious book merchandise. So it's official, I'll be there at Bats Day selling charms under Inkbleed Books merchandise.
Also.. I'm an idiot. The shoot isn't tomorrow, it's next Thursday. And it's not a photoshoot. It's for a promo video. I knew that, but from looking at the other model they used.. I assumed. Like an ass.
Life changer this quote: If you assume; it makes an ass of u and me.
It's a horrible rule to follow at my work, but I do it with the stubbornness of grumpy cat.
So that leaves tomorrow completely free for me to make the charms I've been wanting to. And perhaps add more to my Etsy. I've been selling mostly commission pieces rather than what's actually posted which... is good monetarily but... somewhat still discouraging, lol. Sort of. It's my talent that sells mostly, and not so much my product. IS THAT FREELANCING? WHOA.
Oh god this made me laugh so hard
That's interesting. I never thought about it being discouraging that the bulk of your sales thus far are due to custom orders. Just stick with it. The buyers will come. It may just take a little while for those with like minds to find your storefront. I felt the same way about my books at first when sales where horrible. But as the sales pick up, it feels really great knowing that I stuck to doing what I wanted instead of writing for someone else.
