You guys...I'm going to be so honest. It's going to take a while for this magazine to get started LOL. I already made the flyer, but it's taking a while to get engagement with it, so I don't have a filmmaker to interview just yet. In the meantime, I'm going to try and write some articles for the blog. There are a few trends I wanted to discuss with you guys, so those will be coming out soon! 🙂‍↕️

Filmmakers Needed for Interviews! 📹✨

     Hey everyone! As I mentioned in my last post, I'm currently working on my first magazine! For my project, one of the things I want to focus on is interviewing a filmmaker! Here's a flyer I made for context! 

    As a creative, I decided to take on a slightly bigger project, and I feel really good about it! I'm getting my interview questions ready, still deciding the layout of the magazine, and I'm trying to find people to interview so I can highlight other POC artists. I want to talk to people about their stories with art and how they grew over the years. For this issue, I want to interview three types of artists: a visual artist, a musician, and a filmmaker. So far, I thankfully have a visual artist and a musician I'll be interviewing; all that's left is me finding a filmmaker. So, this is why I made the flyer! 

    I felt I might as well post it here also. So, if anyone is a filmmaker, meets all of the requirements listed, and is interested, please reach out to me on my TikTok account. You guys can also contact me using the forum at the bottom left of the site; either way is fine with me! When I finally choose who I'll be interviewing, I'll discuss the interview process with you and show the questions I'll be asking. Anyway, thanks for hearing me out, and I'll be sure to update you all soon!

Creativity & Magazine Plans!

     

(This is completely unrelated to the article, but it was one of the videos I found when I was learning how to make my magazine. You guys should still check this out!)

    Hey everyone! I wanted to talk about my future plans for the blog! 

    I don't think I ever mentioned it on the website, but I plan on making a magazine connected to the blog. I don't have a solid idea of what the magazine would be about, but I want music to be involved in some way. I wanted to take the first few months to get used to blogging and see how I felt about it before doing other projects. Right now, I feel everything's okay; I like having a social media presence, I like coming up with writing ideas and sharing them (even though I only have three official articles right now), and I like the fact that I gave myself the space to be creative. Honestly, having this much support makes me want to dive even deeper into my artistry...and I feel comfortable enough to pursue a different project now! 

    At first, I didn't know exactly what I wanted the magazine to be; I didn't know what I wanted it to represent, and I didn't know what theme I would give it. So, the idea of making the magazine stayed in the back of my mind for a while. I took the time to focus on my social media, hopefully getting some engagement, and I worried about the legal matters of the website. I think around that time, I started getting ideas on what I wanted to do. I won't share the theme right now, because I haven't started working on the magazine yet (so technically, nothing is official), but I will tell you that this first issue means a lot to me. I'm going to put a lot of time and effort into what I'm making, and I'm beyond excited for it. During my time off, I was reading other magazines, seeing what other publications have done, and I noticed how much attention was dedicated to the project. So, I want to give that same, if not more, care and dedication. I'm going to be getting out of my comfort zone; I'm going to be taking photos of myself/getting back into photography, interviewing people, designing a semi-serious project, and doing most of the work myself. On the outside, it sounds like a lot to do and exhausting, but it's something that I look forward to doing. As anti-social as I am, I look forward to interviewing people, and as shy as I am, I'm excited to make that magazine cover and take multiple other photos for the sake of the project. I guess everything feels so good because it gives me full creative control, and it's a new challenge that doesn't sound so draining. I hate to bring the mood down, but it's been a while since I was this excited about something. Taking the time to actually invest in my hobbies is a fun thing to do, and before this point, I wasn't able to do that. Everything aside, I want this project to do well, and I want people to see it. 

    Anyway, that's all I wanted to say for today. I want to find artists to interview, so I'll be posting a flyer soon on my TikTok for anyone who's interested. I think I just wanted to ramble today because my last few posts have just been announcements and serious stuff; I felt like the blog needed to get more lighthearted again LMAO. Seriously, I'll be sure to update you guys another time, and thanks for listening! 

Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, & Terms and Conditions!

     Hey everyone! I wanted to go ahead and make another announcement. 

• We now have Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Terms and Conditions pages for the blog. I know the likelihood of anyone reading it is super low, but it's nice to have. Also, I learned, if you want to have a (serious) blog, those pages are required. So I'm glad I got it done. If you scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll be able to read them if you'd like. I used a template for all of them for anyone wondering. 
• Now that I've handled the legal matters for the blog, I can relax LMAO. No, seriously, I feel good knowing I can just focus on creating again. There will definitely be an article coming out soon. 
• This is random, but I'm thinking of making a logo for the website. It's just an idea, so I'm not entirely sure if I'll go through with it. I'll talk more about that another time! 
• I'm still working on ideas for the magazine, and it's still in the works. It's going to take a while for it to be released, but I wanted to let you guys know I'm getting closer to the goal. 

    Anyway, that's all I had to tell you guys. I'll be sure to update you soon! <(￣︶￣)>

Updates for 11/4/25 ☆

     Hey everyone! I'm currently working on the legal parts of the website (finalizing it basically), and it's honestly so irritating, but I know it needs to be done. I think once I'm finally done with the website, I'll have more creative freedom and more time to write, so I can stop stressing out. 

(So, for anyone wondering why I haven't made anything, I'm working on the behind-the-scenes stuff.)

Anyway, once I get the serious parts of the website done, I'll be able to dedicate myself fully to the blog. So I can't wait lmao. Also, I'm working on some more projects to show you guys, but I think that's everything. I'll update you guys again soon!
