This is MJ. I'm an author, I'm an artist, I'm an analyzer. You can find all my work at MJMunoz.com.

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Welcome to Grow Bug Tales. Welcome to Story Over Everything Episode 41, where I am talking about

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:19,000
and doing the readings for Grow Bug Tales Chapter 11, Section 3, I guess I'll call it.

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
So I have finally started building my buffer, which I will talk about more in the reflection section

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
after you hear the snippets of a story that I was able to come up with in my 10-minute writing sessions

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
over the week of October 28th through November 3rd. And yeah, that sounds a little funny because this is publishing

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
November 10th and why would I say, or possibly November 11th, we'll see what happens in post-production.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
And you know, why would I publish something that I wrote before at this time now?

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Well, because I think the buffer is an important thing to do and I think offsetting and saving my time

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
and using it more wisely is something I definitely need to do.

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
It's something I've been talking about for a while and here we are.

12
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:10,000
My 10-minute writing session for October 28th, 2023 is in Grow Bug Tales Chapter 11 and it goes like this.

13
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
But what am I going to do? I don't have anything to me the way Lock Your Hum does. I have to do something.

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
I don't think she can keep this up much longer.

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Think, think, think, yes! Quiver worried for a moment that he had been too loud

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
but realized the sounds of fighting were far more loud than him.

17
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
He watched them again to work out the timing and approach that would give him the best chance to do the most good.

18
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Quiver concentrated and grasped the nest where it was tied together.

19
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
He knew the binding would hold the entire nest together while he did his maneuver.

20
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,000
The hide nests were designed to withstand nudging and even being crashed into.

21
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:56,000
The clever construction fascinated him and he had asked Grunt a lot of questions about how the structures held together

22
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
and what kinds of stress they were able to handle.

23
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I'll need to get the timing right on this. I doubt I'll get another shot at this.

24
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,000
From up above the fighting, Quiver held the hide nest above and carefully considered the best target.

25
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
The higher he went, the more damage it would do.

26
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
But the better chance there was of missing the mock wings altogether.

27
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
That took 10 minutes to write and it was 209 words.

28
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Okay, my 10 minute writing session for October 29, 2023 took 10 minutes to write and I wrote 79 words

29
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
and it goes a little bit like this. Let me just center this thing.

30
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
I need two or three minutes.

31
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Lose, guide my mark.

32
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Quiver dropped the hiding nest and pivoted to look down.

33
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000
It grazed one invader and redirected into a direct hit on a second, knocking out of the battle.

34
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
He whooped triumphantly and several pairs of eyes snapped at him.

35
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Hum laughed.

36
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000
The grazed enemy bolted to meet Quiver.

37
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Uh oh! Quiver darted behind the nearest tree for cover.

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
The night was so long and he hoped the shadows would be enough to hide him.

39
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Again, that took 10 minutes to write and it was 79 words.

40
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,000
And my 10 minute writing session for October 30, 2023 reads thus.

41
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Chirped snapped from her days. She felt a sharp pain cut through her consciousness.

42
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I'm okay now.

43
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Hmm? Glimmer asked.

44
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
I'm okay. I can keep up on my own.

45
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Chirped removed the hold Glimmer's radiant arm had on her to pull her along with the fleeing grow bugs.

46
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Very well. Glimmer released her.

47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
When we meet camp again, remember to talk to me if you feel up to it.

48
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I will if I make it back.

49
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
That took 10 minutes to write and it was 75 words.

50
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:58,000
My 10 minute writing session for October 31, 2023 reads thus.

51
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Chirped turned to leave.

52
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Shush noticed and made a beeline for her. Is everything alright, Cadet?

53
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Yes. I mean, I understand, Chirped.

54
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
It's what we must do. Take heart, child. We will persist.

55
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
A fresh bout of blubbering and whaling broke out from the front end of the caravan.

56
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Shush turned to see who it was. I'll check back on you soon. Then turn back.

57
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
You're one of the toughest grow bugs I've ever met. You'll be fine.

58
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Shush rushed off to attend to the others.

59
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Am I really that tough? If I am, what am I doing here?

60
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I should be there with Quiver and watch her hum. It's my fault she's in trouble.

61
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,000
And Quiver is too timid to do what he needs to do.

62
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
What would Quiver do if he wanted to break away from the group?

63
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
That took me 10 minutes to write and it was 139 words.

64
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:56,000
My 10 minute writing session for November 1, 2023 reads like this.

65
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
He would go along as long as possible and then just slip away.

66
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
So that's what I'll do when the time is right.

67
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Chirped made her way back to the fight as quickly as she could.

68
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
She slowed once she heard the din of battle.

69
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,000
As she drew closer, she was surprised to see how I'm fighting three Maw Queens.

70
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Hadn't there only been three before? Were these the same ones? They couldn't be.

71
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
There was a fourth one flying around the tree on the outskirts of the canopy.

72
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000
She was distracted from the battle by the strange behavior of the attacker.

73
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
What was it after? Then she saw it. A flash of light here.

74
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Then wings and shadow. Then another flash.

75
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Yes, it was Quiver. He was hiding from one of the monstrous birds and the bird was chasing after him.

76
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
No surprise he's hiding. I'd probably be doing the same alone against one of them.

77
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Hum looks okay for now, but Quiver needs my help.

78
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Maybe we can help him once we're done beating that thing.

79
00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:00,000
That took me 10 minutes to write, approximately. I stepped my recording, but I think it was 10 minutes and it was 176 words.

80
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:07,000
My 10 minute writing session for November 2nd, 2023, which is my 11th foray into...

81
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,000
No, no, it's my 20th foray into chapter 11 of Girlbug Tales, Reads Thus.

82
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Chirped burst out from behind the leaves and charged at the Maw Queen that pursued him.

83
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,000
It flinched as he sparked and shone brightly, dashing towards its face.

84
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
It jerked away and crashed into a boat it had been able to see.

85
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Am I really going to do this?

86
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Chirped pivoted and pursued his pursuer.

87
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Light arms grabbed at leaves and twigs, ripping them from the branches, and he cast them at the bird.

88
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000
No good. Between his meager strength, the lightness of the floor, and the size of the bird, it was not an effective strategy.

89
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Chirped blazed towards the Maw Queen, hooping and hollering as she did.

90
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
It actually turned and gawked at her for a few moments before she bashed through it.

91
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Chirp, you were great. So were you, naturally.

92
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
We need to go help him. I know, I saw her when I...

93
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Chirped was cut off by a twisted echo of her battle cry.

94
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
That took me 12 minutes to write and it was 154 words.

95
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
November 3rd, did not write.

96
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
So I hope you folks enjoyed hearing those.

97
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000
If you want to hear the full context, each of those I actually recorded a little bit of commentary for.

98
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
If not right after I wrote it, then shortly thereafter.

99
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
And I think it's interesting, and I think you might find it to be interesting.

100
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:35,000
You can find those on YouTube or on TikTok as shorts, and I might even be able to put them on Facebook if they're short enough on the Reels section.

101
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
But those will be found on the Facebook page.

102
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000
It's called Story Over Everything. You can look it up. I'll have to link it. I'll start linking it in my show notes.

103
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000
And everything else will be linked there as well for you to find the full thing and hear the full context if you're interested in that.

104
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000
And if not, you can hear me typically doing some commentary on what I wrote as a whole as I listened back to it as a whole.

105
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
But this time I'm not going to do that. I'm instead going to talk about this buffering thing.

106
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
So that's something I've talked about for a long time.

107
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Thank G-d I finally had the strength, the discipline, the wisdom, the... I don't know what, to go ahead and do it.

108
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:12,000
And it is not as easy as I thought it was going to be.

109
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
And I have a very busy schedule right now.

110
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And I thought I had basically figured everything out, but I surprised myself with how wrong I could be.

111
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And that's not a wonderful feeling.

112
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Honestly, I should have developed a system for buffering.

113
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000
Well, there's an argument part of me feels as if I should have developed a system for buffering

114
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
so that I would have an easier time with doing the buffering.

115
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And now I'm pretty much at the point where, based on the fact that I have, I think,

116
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:49,000
five or six other Harry Potter books that I've already recorded skimming leaves episodes for.

117
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:55,000
And my... I'm not going to call my friend, but I guess, you know, Internet Buddy,

118
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Squall Charleston, who I did the Terror Valley Book One, Schools Out for Never.

119
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
I did an interview and a review with him.

120
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000
And I'm planning on reading in a couple weeks his second book in the Terror Valley series,

121
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
You're Not My Sensei, is coming out.

122
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:18,000
And I plan to read that and do a skimming leaves on it and do a separate interview with him for that.

123
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
So little things like that are going to bump me out.

124
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Skimming leaves are going to bump out and pat out my time.

125
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
And that's great.

126
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
And the interview, I think, for Squall, I'll do separately as well.

127
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I don't know, maybe I'll do a bonus thing and do two story over everything episodes in a single week.

128
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
That's not, you know, ridiculous.

129
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000
But we'll just see how the timing works out.

130
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
But like, I'm going to have that interrupt my Harry Potter books because just I want to get his out in a timely fashion

131
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
and whatever. That seems to make the most sense to me.

132
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000
But anyway, that's fine.

133
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
But what I'm saying is those episodes, the skimming leaves episodes, at least, I think,

134
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
I think I'm doing, am I doing every other week?

135
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
I'm going to build it to it slowly.

136
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I might have them be every other week, which means that I'll be eventually pushing out my production on these

137
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
story over everything like, you know, documentation sessions of my writing by a long time.

138
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
And please G-d, I will keep to a consistent writing pace.

139
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,000
And basically, I'm hoping that the production behind the scenes stuff will still be coming out.

140
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
I have to really think about this for a minute.

141
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000
It's not a logarithmic function where, you know, I'll be 10 years ahead of myself.

142
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Like, you know, I'll be writing stuff and, you know, I'll be releasing books and you'll hear, you know,

143
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
10 years later, the behind the scenes.

144
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
That doesn't make sense. I don't think that's ever, I think we're going to get to that point.

145
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000
But it should give me a healthy buffer if I have at least those six books.

146
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
I think it's five books. Then Squalls at six.

147
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,000
So that's six weeks worth. That'll bump me out.

148
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
That's over time. It'll just grow and grow.

149
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And I think eventually I'll be like, I don't know, at least a few months ahead of time in my actual writing.

150
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,000
But that means that I'm going to have to develop and keep a system set up so that as I'm producing the content,

151
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,000
I'm capturing it and I'm storing it and saving it and prepping it, maybe, you know,

152
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,000
and then scheduling it ahead of time to be saved and published.

153
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:23,000
And I got to tell you, I've had a very difficult time with doing that and doing everything else I'm doing.

154
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:32,000
And also I've started doing this five days a week releasing, alternating one day I'll release my 10 minute writing video,

155
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,000
which is time condensed, and my 10 minute drawing video.

156
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:45,000
And right now the 10 minute writing and drawing videos that I'm releasing are not overlapping at all with the, with these sessions.

157
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,000
And actually those are what I talked about. Those are on the YouTube channel, which is technically,

158
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
it's called Swinging Through Comics right now, but I think I'm going to change it to Story Over Everything,

159
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
or just maybe M.J. Munoz. Again, I'll have it all linked in the show notes.

160
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
And, you know, the videos will always point to wherever they, you know, should point to.

161
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Ultimately just come back to M.J. Munoz.com for all your needs. All your needs. Every single one of them.

162
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Anyway, so dumb. But the, yeah, so like this week I published a few things.

163
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,000
This is, I'm on my second week because I began the first week of November, or the first day of November,

164
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,000
which started on a Wednesday. So I did a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday publishing,

165
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:33,000
then I didn't do anything Saturday or Sunday, and then I did Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

166
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
just barely by the skin in my teeth, and I got something, I'm going to have to work on producing

167
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
and getting up number, you know, the Friday, you know, daily writing or reading thing.

168
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
And, you know, that's cool, and I like it, and it's good. And I'm seeing a lot more views on the website.

169
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,000
I'm seeing, like, it's funny, I created like a little Facebook page that corresponds to the website

170
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
and everything published from M.J. Munoz.com goes there to the Story Over Everything Facebook page.

171
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,000
But I'm a little confused because I'm not really seeing views or clicks on the page itself,

172
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:13,000
but somehow I'm seeing almost every day a few clicks coming over to the blog from Facebook,

173
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:21,000
and then just generally I'm getting a lot more visibility and a lot more views to, or views and visitors,

174
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
actually to M.J. Munoz.com. So I'm a little confused as to how all that's happening,

175
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,000
but like that stuff doesn't really matter if I'm not consistently making content,

176
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,000
and I both mean behind the scenes content that I'm kind of building my brand on,

177
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
and the actual books that I need to be writing, the actual stories I need to be writing.

178
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:50,000
So, Grow Bug and the Kid books, which are books one through five in the Grow Bug Tale series, I guess,

179
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:56,000
are, I mean, are they one through five or are they two through six? Because it doesn't really matter.

180
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Because there are six books so far in the Grow Bug Tale series.

181
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Those are all done with an asterisk, and that asterisk is that I need to finish Grow Bug Tales,

182
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Cadets in Crisis, and, or Flight of the Maw Queens, one of those two.

183
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:18,000
I need to finish that book up 100%, go through it, edit it a little bit, revise it, clean things up,

184
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
and then go through the five picture books and make sure everything's consistent and they all gel together,

185
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:31,000
and then I can go ahead and release them. So, yeah, I do have a plan.

186
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:40,000
I do have a good way to make things move forward. I'm still debating whether I should release the chapter book first,

187
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
or if I should release the picture books first. I kind of think I should do the chapter book first.

188
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:53,000
That way it's out there, and then I can kind of use it and leverage it in getting people's attention on

189
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
the Grow Bug Tales picture books and getting them published and kickstarted and all that good stuff for the art that I need to pay somebody for.

190
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:09,000
And that probably makes more sense. Anyway, I have to balance the projects going forward into the future,

191
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:19,000
while also making sure that I build a habit of daily uploading and publishing the full writing or drawing sessions,

192
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,000
which, just to clarify, like the writing sessions that you heard here, well, those are pulled from them.

193
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
So I write for 10 minutes. I'm recording the actual process of my writing.

194
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:34,000
I'm time-lapsing it, and I started doing this more recently after a couple weeks of doing it, pretty consistently.

195
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,000
I started doing, I'm going to actually write it here. I'm going to take down, I'll record myself writing it.

196
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,000
I'll record myself doing the word count and typing all that stuff in. I condensed that video,

197
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,000
but I pause for a few seconds after I'm done with everything for the content part of it as far as the visuals are concerned.

198
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And then I will go back over that little snippet that I just wrote, you know, 72, 200 words or so,

199
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
and I will read that and then I will make my commentary on it.

200
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,000
And then I can, it's nice, I have one file that now has my B-roll footage basically,

201
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000
which you won't see on the audio podcast, or the podcast at all, but you'll see in other formats.

202
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000
I have my B-roll footage and then I can cut, I can split the thing, drag it over,

203
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000
and put it in place so that I have my audio commentary under it, which is wonderful,

204
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,000
because that's the one less file for me to grab, it's the one less thing for me to store somewhere and have to pull,

205
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
which is really cool.

206
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:37,000
But yeah, I'm doing it imperfectly, but I'm doing it, and as I'm doing it, I'm learning more,

207
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
and I'm refining the way I'm doing things, and my thumbnails were a mess,

208
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
and I've been publishing things out of order in the, you know, every other, you know,

209
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
this five-day-week publishing schedule that I have, and it's kind of killing me.

210
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I mean, both I don't like, it's a lot of work, it's a lot of extra work, but I think it's a good work,

211
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
and I think it's valuable, so that's good, but it's also the way that I'm doing it out of order,

212
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000
and it's kind of janky, it's frustrating to me, but I just, I gotta get the work done,

213
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,000
I gotta get it out there, and it's okay if it's imperfect for now, I'm gonna make it better,

214
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:13,000
and it's all a process, and I would encourage anybody who's out there struggling with their, you know, creative stuff

215
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000
to just make it, make it, and do it, and work it out, and you're gonna suck for a while,

216
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,000
you're gonna fail, and stumble, and it's gonna be ugly, and a little embarrassing to you,

217
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:30,000
but people won't care that much, you're your harshest criticT, critic, and I add a "T" at the end of a lot of words for some reason.

218
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:37,000
You are your harshest critic, and you're always gonna be harder on yourself than other people, hopefully, if you're not a narcissist,

219
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:42,000
and you just need to push through, and you need to have that ugly birthing process for yourself

220
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:48,000
to become a better version of who you are, it's just, ugh, it's life, it's a part of life, anyway,

221
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
that's all I have to say for now, thank you for your time and attention,

222
00:17:53,000 --> 00:18:00,000
and until next time, folks, take care, this is MJ Signing Out.
