Everything I made in June(Ik I’m late)

[nocturnus33]

The meaning of mistletoe by Endrina, first volume of The secret language of plants. @llendrinall I have read this charming story several times. The voice of the narration, with its fairy tale reminiscence, is something I really like. Endrina is a great author, it is worth reading their novel length fics.

Typeset by Lindsey P. For those inexperienced in fandom, this story can be read for free at AO3.

What I like:

It's quite a simple binding, but something in it remind me of the old editions of my childhood. Reading it give me a special kind of joy, it's both, the comfort of this story and the childhood-like feeling this tome brings me while holding it

What I could do better:

I had problems with the guillotining of the edges, but went ahead [I had already lost a lot of material with a failed first printing]. I couldn't say what happened, but - for me - that mistake gives a Je ne sais quoi to the edition that I love. I don't know why, but when I was a child, back in the 70's, I had many books with the same feeling. The paper was a bit thicker than usual, and the edges weren't perfectly cut. I didn't realize, until I sat down to read this edition, that this binding conjures up memories of my childhood.

Special thanks: During the process, I had a severe case of printer hiccups (Or binder's brain hiccups, to be more precise) but @getfuckedblr hold my hand and helped me.

[If I learned to bind, you can do it too. It's not that difficult... ok a little at first, but it is doable. Don't buy fic binds, ok? It spoils fandom's fun]

Late update. Finished the bulk and hit my goal of 200 lbs right at my estimated time of mid October. Currently in maintenance/recomp, transitioning to a small cut.

Thinking my next bulk goal will be 220lbs 👌. Estimating I'll start that in February.

Results of my bulk below. Pretty surprised at the LBM to Fat gain ratio. These values are estimates as body composition measurement is inherently inaccurate so I plan on confirming these numbers once I'm shredded again.

If my tracking was at all accurate, then I should be able to get to a crazy shredded condition without going below 190lbs 🤞. We'll see.

7 months - 34.4 lbs. Gain (1.075 lbs/week)

Est. 30.43lbs Lean Mass (0.95 lbs/week)

Est. 3.97 lbs Fat Mass (0.124lbs/week)

LBM:Fat Ratio - 7.67:1 🤯

My first full body dragon art in my sketch book:

So, I spun and plyed a whole batch today.

I am still park and drafting, but that should get better as I get better. The biggest problem is that I cannot get a consistent thickness which means that the twist is concentrating in the thinner spots. Besides that it is also thicker in general than I would like, but that is also practise.

I can’t locate the post that inspired my efforts, [if I do I will link it here] but I made it a habit to write almost daily beginning in early March, at any point where I was physically and mentally able.

Some days I wrote zero words, others I wrote over a thousand, but most often it was somewhere in the middle.

Regardless, progress was made, and I tracked it all in my notes and ended the month with almost ten thousand words written across Neon Bloodlust and Kiss Me With Your Fist.

What I have learned and wish to bestow upon my fellow writers is this : The words add up, over time. No matter how big or small, they add up. Some days no words will come out at all, and that’s okay, too.

Even small progress is worth celebrating and being proud of.

I loved Here's looking at you kid when I read it, especially how the inner life of each character is developed. So when I finished reading it, I knew I had to bind it sooner or later. Seeing the fantastic job @chaoticbindery did encourage me even more. What I love: Not to mention the beautiful typesetting of @chaoticbindery I'm also happy with the monogram that includes Blaise and George's names.

What I learned: It's the first time I've done a larger, more complex design on HTV.

What I need to improve: I have to be careful not to overheat the cover: I noticed the letter H was crooked, that happened because when it was ready, I realized that not everything had transferred well, and I applied heat again, but I wasn't very careful.

Still, I like this one.

Thanks for all the love shown to all of these and giving them a chance to be in the spotlight 🫶
