Congrats on two years. If you're not part of the audience you're writing for, you're doing something wrong. It's a good sign that you enjoy reading your own writing.

Dedication to the constructive, especially through difficult periods where it seems futile or slow-going, is a sign of maturity. May those seemingly fragmented desires congeal into a laser-like focus that helps you to achieve your dreams.

Kids have it good these days with well-seeded torrents and dozens of pirate anime streaming sites, and the legit options aren't too terrible either. Though it's a shame simulcasts killed off fansubs which often had a lot of heart and soul put into them.

Subs these days are terrible. They all look like Netflix's minimum effort subs. Fansubs were a real art form that I hope comes back one day, they looked so good and were so readable.

I feel you on bookbinding mistakes. I make them more often than not, honestly- it's part of the charm. To save you one of mine: cardstock is not a strong enough cover for a book you want to keep in your pocket. I was trying to make a mini composition book and that crumpled very quickly.

I used to bind sketchbooks with cardstock, but they weren't really pocket carries. Even then they were pretty worn out by the time I got to the end of them.

I usually use chipboard covered by fabric for larger bindings nowadays! Keep meaning to experiment with wood. Still struggling to find a good cover material for pocket books though since it needs to be thin and sturdy, and those traits don't often come together.

I'm at the stage where I'm still experimenting with making good bookcloth. So far my last couple of batches haven't been up to standard, so at most I use them for spines. Still need to get the basics right before I start to think about long term durability.

It's a bit of a process. 1) I use my camera (any camera will do) to take a photo of my art in a small light box (So there is even lighting and no shadows) 2) I put it into GIMP and mess around with the levels until the white parts are pure white and the black parts pure black 3) Resize the image to about 400 to 600px in width to save space on the website.

I could put up a simple tutorial if you would find that helpful.

Hey, someone else that binds books! I've been printing out short stories and other snippets lately to bind into small anthologies- may be a good practice option.

I just got into binding books. Still trying to get a hang of the basics. Printing out short stories and such is a good idea, I should try that.
