Early Access - Chapter Thirteen

Published: February 22nd 2022, 10:55:25 am

Alright mates,

Very short chapter this one, unfortunately.  Butt... Chapter Fourteen is like 32 pages long.  Almost 10% of the entire book.  And that's TOO long so I'll probably have to split that into two parts.  But even so... next weeks will be a more reasonable length.

The only other thing I'll say is... (I'll probably do a pinned comment in the video that goes up today about this as well)… I'm gonna take a step back from Twitter and just go back to focusing on making bloody videos.  lol.  I've cut right down on the drinking but still... I have this tendency to go on twitter and say / do stupid shit after a few too many glasses of wine.  Drunk Buttress is a liability.  His entire life mantra seems to be "F*ck it.  Say it.  See what happens".  And just a whole bunch of self sabotage.

Plus... I just kinda hate Twitter.  lol.  I'm getting kinda cynical as I get older.  And I don't want to be.  But Twitter does absolutely nothing to dissuade that cynicism.  I hate the type of discourse that takes place on there.  I hate the fact that I constantly worry about HAVING to be active on there in order to grow the channel.  I hate the fact that it doesn't seem to matter how good your intentions are; people will just use anything you say as an opportunity for them to prove that they're a 'really good person'.  It's literally a bunch of people claiming to be advocates for things like mental health whilst simultaneously acting like the biggest cyber bullies on the planet.

So yeah.  lol.  Done with Twitter.  I'll leave the page up so that people still have that option if they want to talk to me.  But i'm not gonna tweet anymore.  I'm not gonna comment on other peoples' tweets.  I'm gonna go back to being a fairly private person that speaks when he's spoken to.  Because I never wanted to be an 'Influencer'.  I just wanna make videos.   All the other 'extra-curricular' stuff like social media is just pointless nonsense that's detrimental to my ability to keep doing this thing I enjoy doing.

Hopefully that makes sense and doesn't sound like I'm just sat here feeling really sorry for myself.  I'm genuinely not trying to make a big deal out of this.  Or trying to make it sound like it's anyone else's fault and I've been bullied into silence or something.  It's very much a me problem.  But I think I'll be happier by making this change.

Anywho - Thanks, as always, for your support!  Tis very much appreciated.  And I'll see ya next week!
