Updates, brain stuff

Hi all, I realize it's been a while since I've updated on here, so I'm gonna sorta ramble on about some stuff and hope it's sufficient lol.

By now, those of you in the snail mail tiers should have gotten January's goodies, and pretty soon I'll be working on February's goodies to send out.

As far as what's been up with Twitch:

We've recently added a fourth stream to the roster: Ambient Music for Sleep, at 10pm ET on Sundays. It's a no-talking stream, so the vods are totally rewatchable if you need some help sleeping. Eventually, I'd like to attempt a guided meditation sort of thing, but perhaps I need to watch some tutorials or take a class or something before I do. We'll see lol.

I'm still not sure about Fridays. I may scrap them altogether and opt for another day of the week (maybe Tues, Thurs, or Sat. Or maybe even a double header on Sun? idk.)


As far as non-Twitch news goes, I finally have my website up and running! Needs some tweaks, which I will get to hopefully this week. But you can all visit it at thegracefulbard.com! My main purpose for this page is to have all my commission work in one convenient place, along with any upcoming tour info/merch/etc.

Eventually, if I can really get the whole website life under my belt, I may start my own subscription service similar to Patreon, which would basically cut out the middle man and give us a new place to gather as a community. But alas, let me not get too far ahead of myself lol.


Now, as far as a tour goes! I am planning on doing my first ever tour along the east coast. Goal is to drive down to Tampa, and stop to see friends along the way. If I have any free days, I may hook up my gear and stream from various Airbnbs or hotels. But we shall seeeeee...


I'll be honest, my brain is reaching a point of critical burnout these last few weeks, so if my creativity slows or comes to a halt for a few days, please be aware that it's just so I can recoup and gather my thoughts.

This is a lot of work for one, chaotic, ADHD brain to handle, but I'm doing my very best lol.

I love you guys, as always, thank you for existing and for being so supportive of me and of this community.

You are important, you are loved.

-Bard xoxo

p.s., once the tour thing has more to write home about, I will def let you all know. I'm going to be working on the details today and basically every day until it's planned lol.
