january was very busy

started like a zillion different projects and have been very busy with them. One is a drawing project and it's going well! the only issue with it is that I have grand ideas that appear far too quickly for me to do anything about them, so I always feel like I'm behind, lol
anyway
a family friend visited for like a week and we all hung out and went to the city and saw a show it was cool, it's been a while since we've done anything like that. my sister started her class and so everyone else has been busy too in helping her with stuff...
I started a new writing column that's very fun
I also got an invitation to speak [online] to a classroom about my graphic novel! it's so super cool but also i'm nervous bc i hate zoom... in-person events are so much easier... anyway this is like the first invitation of this sort I've gotten and I feel all author-y.
As far as stuff that isn't work: I've been focusing really a lot on trying not to be stressed and it's actually working out pretty well! what else? I wrote some cool death note meta & a few short fics. I am *still* working on that big long one... creeping slowly toward the end of it in & around my other stuff I'm doing... but I'm so impatient!! aagh...
I need to get back to doing stretches/dancing every day. I stopped over the holidays and then January was so hectic I didn't get back into it. But I started again today, so yay!

got opentoonz and started making an animation!

I just got opentoonz and wanted to try out a little animation. It’s looking pretty good so far! but I couldn’t figure out how to connect it to ffmpeg so it could export in the right format so I just exported it as a bunch of stills and then put them all in ezgif….. I really need to figure out how to fix that before I do something longer

I haven't messed around with animation for a couple of years and I used to use pencil.app but I wanted to branch out... also it stopped working on my computer :/ but this software is pretty easy to use too if you google some tutorials. except for the exporting bit. i'm not sure how i'm even going to fix it because i am... so baffled. what do I download? why is import/export settings not showing up for me?
many questions.
