[AUTHOR’S NOTE: Also, long ramblings ahead]
          
          
          First of, to my loyal TCOTRB readers, I just wanna thank you guys for continuing to support “AMANDI.” Also, it’s almost X’mas! *\(^o^)/*
          
          I will try my best to either drop the fourth part of Chapter VIII on December 28th (17:00 GMT+8) or 29th (06:00 GMT+8) once things have cooled down a bit. 
          
          •••
          
          
          So a lot of things have been happening recently that prevented me from writing and drawing as much. Around a few weeks ago, I’ve gotten a bad cold though I was able to recover from it. 
          
          It doesn’t help that my mental health is at its lowest, suffer fatigue alongside work and other responsibilities. I also worry about bad actors on the Internet stealing artworks and writings.
          
          This is why a lot of my posts on Tumblr are on queue (scheduled) and I tend to come on Wattpad right before bedtime. I care so much about my novels that it’d take me a while to even drop an update. 
          
          Anyway, hope you guys take care and have a nice holidayヽ(；▽；)

For me, I would prefer to publish indie because it’s a lot affordable in my opinion than working with a publisher (which tend to cost a lot of money). I want to have a platform where I get to share my works with the rest of the world without barriers. 
          
          I swear as much as I wanna earn millions, I can’t afford to pay half of my daily allowance to get my book published. 

I remember giggling like an idiot in my room as I start to imagine Mr. Peabody acting like a jealous girlfriend whenever Sherman tries to spend more time with someone else and grounds him for liking Lackadaisy. 
          
          Meanwhile, somewhere in Pottsylvania, Rocky and Bullwinkle are smoking some weird green stuff. They look super high right now.
          
          To those who don’t what I’m talking about, those characters came from Jay Ward’s “The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.” I know it’s a kids’ show but it’d be a lot funny if those were in the show aimed at the people who grew up with them.

A couple of surprises awaits as the fourth chapter of Chapter VIII of “AMANDI: The Secret Messenger” drops now. Also, don’t forget to catch the latest episode of The Amazing Digital Circus! 
          
          BTW, here’s a quick shoutout to @kae-ruby (formerly ‘ganbaruby’) ★彡

There were times when I felt a lot safer on the Internet like the time my mom shamed me after she caught me watching “Rocky & Bullwinkle” (specifically the live-action movie) with my little cousin and suggested I should stick to viewing stuff my age. I was like fifteen or sixteen at the time. 
          
          It’s a shame there is still the notion that cartoons are only aimed at little kids. It’s no surprise I’d end up working in a kids’ magazine or animation studio. 

Hey guys! I just want to say that the fourth part of Chapter VIII of “AMANDI: The Secret Messenger” drops tomorrow on Friday the 13th at 17:00 (GMT+8)! 
          
          If things were to go well, the other couple of parts will be on December 20-21 or the 28th (17:00 GMT+8). My apologies if I can’t update as consistently as I want to due to how busy I am. Blame the holidays for that lol!
          
          Also, to the animation fans out there, go check out Monkey Wrench by Zeurel on YouTube! 

I remember how in the movie, Sherman got in trouble for biting his bully Penny as self-defense and his dad (Mr. Peabody) is being accused of teaching him to do so ‘coz he’s a dog. 
          
          Sherman might as well act like Uzi from Murder Drones where he constantly says “BITE ME!” as a retaliation and everyone would leave him alone.

Before I begin, I just wanna thank @LORAINEJD for being one of the amazing people to add the prequel TCOTRB to their reading list. I am glad there’s someone who get to appreciate it somehow ( ＾∀＾)
          
          Now, the third part of Chapter VIII of AMANDI is finally out! ★彡
          https://www.wattpad.com/1495652020?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=postToProfile&utm_content=share_reading&wp_page=reading_part_end&wp_uname=HN1kk0

Hey guys! I would like to announce that the third part of Chapter VIII of “AMANDI: The Secret Messenger” drops on December 7th (Saturday) ( ＾∀＾)
          
          To the newcomers, I hope you’ve already read TCOTRB before picking up this book. Also, if they ever interest you, it’d be much appreciated if anyone gets to give me a shoutout and recommend my works with anyone. Don’t just keep it to yourself or your private group! 

I remember seeing a post somewhere that sums up fandoms pretty well: It is best to air out your issues in private as to not provoke anyone. 
          
          I remember once sharing some of my negative thoughts about an established writer. I will not say who it is but this person is somehow popular and known to be quite problematic. 
          
          I was clearly neutral and respectful about the subject until boom! Some fan got mad at me and suggested that I should just focus on criticizing other people whom they think are a lot worst plus a lot of the issues surrounding them were just made up. 
          
          I hate how we are not allowed to even give valid criticisms about a person or their works simply because they’re popular. What if these celebrities end up doing terrible stuff except people are too afraid to speak up in fear they’ll be harassed and doxxed online?
