Production of new art will resume, assume I ever manage to stop procrastinating at it...

Seriously, should a popular creative auteur and author's relation with the fandom be THIS VOLATILE??

My gut tells me no. I spent 15 years standing on my feet, training, preparing for possible success. Now that that success and popularity really does exist, I'm finding it a little hard to get back on my feet again and continue standing in place. I'm just very exhausted from living a difficult life, not all of it related to work. It's exhausting dealing with certain psychotic family, peers, and online fans.

The truth is, not all creators or creative projects are forced to deal with such adversity. Some people in entertainment have an incredibly easy time getting projects greenlit, licensed, adapted, completed, finished, and generally turn into something with relatively little effort or pain, typically that's where the status of the creator comes in. I remember early on in my career I was heavily influenced by Blade Runner, how it failed on its debut but later became a classic film. I said to myself, "Maybe the same thing is happening to me in some weird metaphorical way. I remember liking Blade Runner a lot because it took so much patience and waiting for anyone who worked on it to experience that success, and how it was dismissed and first and was initially considered a disappointment

It's not just what you're making, or who you are, or what your level is and how well you do what you do. You also have to assess the amount of difficulty and struggle attaining any of your achievements is. Struggle during your formative years, or midi-formative years is sometimes a small hidden sign your success will require patience, in a world gone IMPATIENT And hasty.

One of my horoscopes once told me I'll have an enormous audience in my later years, but my method of attaining that audience won't be a conventional or normal one, and also that the nature of my career and work won't allow me the means, ability, or ease to retire, and I'll be actively working, even to the end of my life.

Who invented Streaming Video!? ME, THAT'S WHO!!!

I invented streaming video in 2005, when I made the first upload of a copyrighted streaming video to YouTube, which technically wasn't legal, as I didn't own it. I uploaded it anyway I used footage I downloaded on my computer from Toonami Digital Arsenal and converted from Quicktime to Windows Media Video (WMV). Dozens of Billions of views later, here we are.
