Okay guys it’s official - last night I finished recording the outro for Vegeta’s Humanity Part 4!

Thank you for all of your support, and for helping make my dream of writing about what I love come true ❤️

If I get pulled up for copyright, would people be interested in purchasing early access?

Hi guys! Vegeta’s Humanity 4 is over half way finished!

We see Vegeta holding tight to his Killing Machine persona but ultimately, when faced with real killing machines, he has to face the fact he is flesh and blood. SUCH an interesting arc which I can’t wait to share my thoughts on

Hi guys!

I'm gonna start recording Monday or Tuesday so wish me luck!

Writing Vegeta's Humanity 4 on my new keyboard (yes, it's girly!) has been a breeze. Thank you so much for your support as it's because of you that I'm able to get myself nice things that make writing for hours at a time easier :D

Hope everyone had a nice weekend.

Take care of yourselves,

Much love,
Nottacat

me and my sleepy assistant are pleased to announce that the note-taking process of Vegeta’s Humanity Part 4 is now complete! And half of the final script is finished too :D

P.s. the cat did not get poked in the eye, in case you’re concerned. My son just loves pointing lol

Hi guys! You’ll be happy to know the note-taking process for VH4 is well underway and going swimmingly! I’ve been enjoying rewatching the Android Saga and seeing the show have so much fun with Vegeta’s evolving anti-hero role. This installment will be about - among other things - the inevitable relapses in Vegeta’s redemption journey, on which there is just so much to say so I think it’ll be a good one!

Mwah ❤️

Hi guys, Merry Christmas to all of you!

I’ve been wondering what to say in light of the year coming to an end, as I was so loved and taken care of this Christmas, but also dealt with it heavy grief this year which all came bubbling to the surface over the holidays. My Christmas was neither wholly good nor bad, but, thanks to my partner, son and mother in law, it was beautiful.

I think mostly what I want to say is thank you ❤️, thank you for helping make my dream of writing about what I love come true. Thank you for watching my videos and inspiring me to keep going in this endeavour through your supportive comments.

If you’re hurting right now, don’t do it alone. And if your cup is full, remember to share your love, happiness and curiosity with others. You never know who might need it.

NARUTO VIDEO HAS BEEN UPLOADED guys! And will - if all continues to go well - be going public tomorrow :D ❤️

I’ve managed not to get pulled up for copyright this time which is amazing, I’m honestly over the moon. I’m gonna leave it overnight just in case anything comes up, but it looks like paying for early access won’t be necessary and you can all watch it straight away!! 🫶

Great News guys! I’ve now finished editing everything on the Naruto video, bar the conclusion/outro which I’ll do tomorrow!

For now, risotto and bacon sandwich time ❤️

Hi guys! How are we doing?

I’ve been finishing up editing my Naruto video and trying to resist the temptation to add a whole host of little things last minute. As usual…

When I look back at a long project it’s easy to see my own progression and wince at some of the earlier edits or recordings that I would now approach differently. It’s easy to say ‘gosh my voice sounds terrible here’ or ‘this section’s analysis isn’t deep enough’ or ‘this edit is really shoddy compared to what I’ve got in later sections’. This is a challenge that I think all creatives have to wrestle with, and eventually submit to or let go of, one way or another.

When I worked in a locally-esteemed sandwich shop, one of my colleagues gave me some good advice: ‘you’ll want to fuss over the sandwich and make it as perfect as possible, but at the end of the day that’s not what this is about. Don’t make yourself stress. It’ll only slow you down and you’ll make mistakes. Just make the sandwich’. I’m paraphrasing as this was years ago, but whenever I find myself straining for perfection, those words come back to me and ‘just make the sandwich!’ rings in my ears.

Much love,
Nottacat
