October STRESS

I do talk about this in my FMAB episode for tomorrow but for anyone that isn't here for FMAB - I'm going to just write out what I discussed.

October is going to be a very stressful and busy month for me. There may be potential delays in content.

• I'm currently in the process of buying my house. This is very stressful as I'm having to move the process as fast as possible to prevent the landlord putting it on the market. The knock on impact is that I wasn't able to film Vinland Saga 1 x 5 or Squid Game 2 x 2 on Friday as I was ringing solicitors and emailing my mortgage advisor. I can't film Sunday as I have to edit content + put together my mortgage application. I will be trying to film for them Monday / Tuesday of this week to keep to the schedule.

• I have a tattooed booked on Friday 10th and Saturday 18th. Content for Friday 10th may be delayed as I will need to film Sunday 12th. Content for Saturday 18th shouldn't be impacted as I'll film what's due for Saturday on Friday 17th.

• My parents have sprung a last minute visit the first weekend of November. They live in a different country so this will be the last time I see them before Christmas. I'm hoping it doesn't impact filming but it may have an impact as they are staying at my house.

• I am still in the training phase of my job which is ramping up this month so very stressful and very busy.

• I also had the flu which delayed filming.

I intend to keep content consistent and as of right now there is content releasing every day. My request is to just be patient if there is a delay by a day or 2 to allow me time to film around my hectic schedule. If I seem a bit more frazzled lately it's because there's a lot of IRL stress and trying to balance working 37 hours with content creation can be a lot.

I am so grateful for your support and I am passionate about the content I produce. I don't intend to slow down but just more to make you all aware of what's going on so that if there is a delay it is not out of neglect or laziness. It is merely because I either didn't have the time to film and/or something came up that demanded my urgent attention.

The same amount of content will be released weekly but the schedule will be looser e.g. 2 videos could drop on the same day because I had to push back filming/editing to accommodate. Apothecary Diaries and FMAB will remain consistent and unimpacted. It will be primarily Vinland Saga and Squid Game that this relates to solely for the month of October.

Again - same amount of content will release weekly which is 2 Vinland Saga, 2 Apothecary Diaries, 2 FMAB, and 1 Squid Game but just a looser schedule for Vinland Saga and Squid Game.

Hope you all understand.

Love,

Sophie.
