March 2026
OMG What do you mean it's almost April??
Happy March, everyone! We’re just a week shy of the end of the month, so what better way than to release the next installment? (and not because I almost forgot :3)
So Christyle Inc is adding another hat to its already growing list of positions: Publishing!
“But Chris, you’re already publishing!”
Correct.
But I’ve been publishing myself all this time. Now: I’m publishing anyone specific submissions that hit my messages from time to time. It’s not exactly polished on how we accept them, but just know I do take them from time to time. If I like them and they fit the criteria outlined between us, it’s in! Details vary between creators. If you’re interested, shoot me something.
First one releases late 2026/early 2027, and I think you’ll love both the writer AND the book itself!
With that out of the way, let’s touch on my favorite subject
Burning out.
If you’ve ever done anything with any sense of energy, you’ve been at risk of burning out. It may be smaller than someone else's, but the risk is always there. If you haven’t, well, you’re a flat-out liar and just want to be contrarian! (Shame on you.)
Burning out is when you’ve expended more energy than you have on a task or process. Typically, when your output isn’t producing the same results, and you’ve hit a wall, it occurs, but a lot of people find ways to stay refreshed for the long haul. One of the most common occurrences of burnout is not getting the expected results. Let me tell you how to defeat that.
My prime output for my content is on Instagram. I love making short reels and posting about 2 a day, shooting them all within 24 hours, so I can just submit them and go about my day. It’s so much better than shooting an individual reel each time I want, and I can submit them whenever. Coolest system on earth!
The burnout comes when I either get fewer interactions on a reel, or I get the WRONG interactions mixed in with the good ones. They say “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”, but it’s a double-edged sword. When your content reaches out of your niche, you risk interacting with people who don’t understand or like your niche and will go out of their way to tell you with more fervor than the ones who do like it.
So how do you combat it?
Simple: You don’t.
Well, in better terms, you let people…comment away. If you ignore the bad interactions for the good ones, it’ll help the site boost the comments you want while hiding away the ones you don’t. If you want to take it further, most sites let you HIDE comments so those you want to ignore can be ignored by anyone else. It’s such a game-changer that a lot of people think they need to deal with it when it’s a deterrent. Let them comment away and place you in front of people who will respect your talent and time!
That’s it for this issue, but be sure to subscribe for more, including upcoming comic projects, sent to your email!
