May?  What is May?  The fifth month on my calendar is called “Anime North.”  That said, it’s not like this month wasn’t beneficial to my career.

The YA Project
This one has been at a standstill due to certain parties being preoccupied with other commitments.  Seeing as one of those parties was Yours Truly, I cannot complain.

The TV Show
No one is watching the YouTube clips anymore.   I will keep an eye on it for another month, and then consider taking a different approach to getting fans.  I have an idea or two in the works, one of which involves a colab with someone I met at Anime North.  The other involves a skill I developed while making a game show for, you guessed it, Anime North.

The Company
Okay, here’s the big one.  I need to promote and sell my show, and during the con, I met some contacts who might help me do that.  Ironically, not one of them was encountered during my planned Networking Time.  It just goes to show you the value of always being prepared to take advantage of an opportunity as it presents itself.

Actually, this whole month was proof of the value of removing the boundary between work and fun.  When you are doing something progeeky, your work IS fun, and so even in your offtime, you are bound to discover things that can help you on your way.

Goals for June: follow up with the new contacts and get cracking on those new ideas for promoting my show.
