    How the Story Time Podcast is Recorded (Behind the Scenes)

    A.P. Fuchs Patreon Button

    New public post for everybody on Patreon! Topic: A behind-the-scenes look at how the REALM OF HEROES AND MONSTERS: STORY TIME with A.P. FUCHS podcast is recorded step by step.

    Behind-the-scenes posts are always fun and I always enjoy sharing them. As a creator, I always find it interesting when another creator reveals their process. Usually there’s at least one thing to learn and take away to try.

    Anyway, please go here for the post.

    Peace.

    One of the new features of Patreon 2.0 is photography. Not just plain click-click of the camera, but fun shots with a little bit of pizzazz to make it interesting. It’s also fun for me as a creator to play around with photos and make something cool out of them.

    The pic above is one such example of the pile of photography available at Patreon 2.0 and, yes, the one I’m showing here had to be a car. Well, Hotwheels, right? Right.

    Anyway, hope to see you on the Patreon Page. Lots of fun and tons of content, including Patreon photos.

  • New Patreon Essay: Creators Need to Stop Doing This Online

    Posted on May 8, 2024 5:05 am by A.P. Fuchs

    New Patreon Essay: Creators Need to Stop Doing This Online

    Patreon essays collection

    A new short essay was posted to Patreon today for patrons. It’s an important one, in my opinion, because it affects not just the creator doing this one bad thing, but it reflects on the rest of us as well. Unfortunately, the arts community is viewed as a kind of giant whole of all crafts with a few prominent creators in each category standing out (i.e. the big guys like Stephen King or Todd McFarlane).

    The trick for any creator is to stand out themselves but doing this one habbit online is not helping their cause. This new essay tells it like it is and asks creators to clean up their act (but not in the way you think).

    To check this important essay, join my Patreon journey. Tons of content in multiple categories. Here’s a direct link to the essay. Creators? Stop doing this online.

    Thanks.

    Cheers.

    A ton of cool stuff has been happening over at the Patreon page. It serves as a special place to hold all that I share in public plus a pile of stuff for patrons only. Right now we’re airing two serial books, behind the scenes stuff, special articles, blog posts, videos, and more.

    The patron-only video this month asks the all-important question: Does God Speak German? And before you berate me, there’s a reason for the video.

    It’s amusing items like the above that keep the page fresh, educational, and also entertaining.

    I’m having a lot of fun with Patreon 2.0 and I invite you to join me there for the same.

    Here’s the trailer:

    See you there. Oh, don’t forget about the books and comics here on this blog, too.

  • How to Budget as an Author or Artist

    Posted on February 7, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

    How to Budget as an Author or Artist

    A.P. Fuchs-Patreon-Logo

    Last Friday, I released an important essay to my patrons on how an author or artist can managing funding their current and future projects while still reaping the reward. How to budget as an author or artist is huge right now in this digital do-it-yourself era.

    I cover a solid tip here on this site but the real meat and potatoes is below.

    Excerpt:

    “Money management can be the bane of many creators. It can be difficult to juggle funds for your project as well as keeping the financial reward from that project while also ensuring funds are available for the next project (never mind juggling the costs of life on top of this, especially in this era of inflation).

    Here’s a solid approach:

    First, understand the moment you decide to take your creation public and start charging money for it, you’re a business not a person. That’s how businesses work: They make something and sell it. No different here.”

    Please visit here for the rest of the essay. Its intent is to save creators headaches regarding funding their work.

    Realm of Heroes and Monsters YouTube Playlist Index

    As you might have guessed–because I’ve been blatantly obvious–I spent a good chunk of 2023 beefing up my YouTube channel in an effort to 1) Play in another medium 2) Put some eyeballs on my books and comics 3) Entertain or inform you as best as I am able.

    We did not bad and had growing stats week by week. Sure, there were some dips in the analytics but you can’t hit the ball out of the park every time.

    Below is a newly-curated list of my playlists on YouTube. It’d be really great if you subscribed to one that strikes your fancy. Part of the goal with this whole YouTube thing is to use it as a funding channel–which costs my viewers nothing other than 2 seconds to click subscribe–so I can more easily bring you more books and comics and other entertainment. If you haven’t already subscribed to the channel, please do so. It really does help out an independent creator like me make ends meet.

    Here are the playlists on my channel in no particular order as we embark into 2024.

    Enjoy!

  • Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Posted on December 20, 2023 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

    Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans

    Last week of working like a dog then a holiday break for 10 days. Really needed and really looking forward to it . . . but that doesn’t mean I’ll be doing absolutely zero.

    While there will be little things to get done during the break, namely life stuff, here is my general holiday overview divided into blocks big and small.

    Dec. 22 – Midday. Nap (if work is done early)

    Dec. 23 – Festivus. Decompression day and the airing of grievances on my Facebook page to help with the decompression

    Dec. 24 – Rest and Christmas Eve stuff

    Dec. 25 – Christmas (with a special video on YouTube that is interesting but will also make you laugh)

    Dec. 26 to Dec. 30 – A combination of relaxing and binge creating for 2024 and one more Christmas gathering but I don’t know the date. Probably the 26th or 27th.

    Dec. 31 – New Years Eve. I’m too old to do the stay-up-til-midnight-then-kiss-the-girl thing. I foresee a later night but in bed before we travel through time into a new year.

    Jan. 1 – Last day of rest so the aim is to do as much nothing as possible

    Jan. 2 – Back to real life

    And those are my Christmas Holiday 2023 Creative Plans.

    That last date scares me at the time of this writing though, because, right now, worn out, I don’t want to deal with real life. Need the break. I do know, however, the break will be a full recharge if it’s anything like my same-length break in the summer, which is a good thing.

    There you go. General holiday plans, subject to change as per the rules of Christmas Holidays when things can turn on a dime.

    I hope you’re looking forward to Christmas as much as I am. I have some really cool, special-to-the-individual gifts to hand out and I can’t wait to see their reaction!

    Peace.
