Progress Update: 3/12/18

In short, nowhere near where I wanted to be, and at this point I feel like I owe everyone an explanation.

The good news is that this represents the hardest material to edit, so it's smooth sailing from here on out. But last week, I couldn't bring myself to open the editing program on Thursday or Friday. 

I mentioned a while back that there was a personal issue that had cropped up, and that I didn't want to speak about it futher. However, as the people supporting me, I think I owe you an explanation, since this is largely why this episode has taken so long even considering the other circumstances. My fiancee and I split, and it's been difficult to focus on work. I'm through the worst of it, though, and I'm ready to close out this episode this week. I won't go into further detail except to say that it was amicable, and we're still good friends.

On a lighter note, I drove a 9 1/2 hour round trip to get upgrades on my hurdy gurdy, including pickups, so expect some music on The Other Channel with it sometime after the new Down the Rabbit Hole goes up. I also recorded footage from my visit to my luthier's workshop, and I'll post a short vlog about my visit. (Again, once this DtRH is done)

I'll post one last update on this episode as soon as the editing is done. Again, thank you so much everyone for being so patient with me through this. You all have been the best. I'm ready to rip through this year with some of the best content that I can manage, and I can't wait to see what all of you think.

3dpd is fleeting but 2d and patreon supporters are forever (unless you quit or stop mentioning us in the credits). Just let us know your still alive and we can wait until it’s done mate. No worries.

I'm glad you feel you can tell us, I really hope you're ok. Don't be too hard on yourself though, the last thing we want is for this to become a major point of stress and guilt

As much as I enjoy your content it is easy to forget the complexity and intracisies of another persons life. I think the word that describes that sensation the best is “sonder”. As much as this content is for us, it’s also for you. Please put yourself as a priority here and take care of yourself.

Even though we as supporters aren't entitled to know of your personal issues and struggles, I'm glad you think of us being close enough to you to be able to share something so private and serious. I truly believe our title as supporters really does mean just that, supporting not only Down the Rabbit Hole, but also you as the creator, as a human. I just want to thank you for the work and effort you put into this series, as it really does show your determination and passion that in the end gives us time to just be entertained, informed and have our curiosities wander and explore. We want you to succeed, and that can't happen if you don't put yourself first over others and work. I wish you all the best Fredrik, you have a community all here rooting for you, not for Down the Rabbit Hole, but for you.

I’m sorry to hear about the split. I think anyone, patron or otherwise, wouldn’t want to force you to work after a big life event like that. If you say it’s on good terms and y’all are still friends, that lightens the load a bit. Please keep yourself healthy and the video will come.

Looking forward to the next video, no matter when it comes. Carry on good sir, carry on.
