October 1, 2018


Hey, everyone. I was inspired to do a basic update entry and talk about some stuff.

Sorry I haven't updated too much. I got busy again. You see, I have two jobs now. At one job, I work before and after school with elementary aged kids (so I can be inspired for what to write about and what kids should get out of a story). At another job, I work at a store as mostly a cashier (so I can get extra money plus a discount on possible props for the picture stories).

So, in a way, I am working on the thread. I just haven't gotten much published. (I even keep a clipboard with me and I write down KATVP ideas in my notebook at my school job.)

So here I am, blabbering words during a writing crave. Also, scrambling to figure out which entries I need to catch y'all up on. (I've done some virtual pet care such as a few Tamagotchi mini raisings, but only in July and August. I kinda slipped out of the care routine in September when I got my second job. Just haven't been up to it…)

I think I'll leave this entry on the blog first so I can tell y'all what's going on, but add it to the "timeline" later. (Because I know y'all just like to skip to what's most recently posted on the blog in general.)

Let me talk a little bit about my plans for this blog and how I'll be posting content.

I'm still doing the "timeline" on this blog! Where I post AAAAAALLLL the updates IN ORDER for you to read and follow as I review them.

BUT, I know that's going to take a LOOOOONG time to finish. So I've been popping up with some ideas to keep content regular and fresh and to keep it entertaining while I try to get through the old dry stuff.

Behind the scenes, I've been polishing up the old "Kat and the Webkinz" updates, starting with the ol' picture stories. So if you want to click around and find those stories and read them, I've been re-placing the pictures in and making them readable. (What a great time to catch up on the picture story storylines if you never read KATW back in the day!)

I'll also be posting new picture stories behind the scenes. Old "future updates" that I was going to post to KATW back when it was on Webkinz Insider, new sketches for the v-pets to act out, and more! Then I'll add them to the "timeline" when I've finished polishing and reviewing all the old updates and I make it to this point.

I figured this would be a good resolution--post new updates now, add to the timeline later. So those who want the new content can get it NOW (but the timeline is still going on for new readers to follow in the future!).

I just simply don't have time to put all the fun adventures of the virtual pets on hold, especially when I have to move out of my childhood home in like less than two years and half these "future KATW updates" take place in it. I want to tell the stories of my home before I have to move, plus I'd be too excited about them and want to post them asap.

Also…I just miss making the picture stories! The Webkinz and their stuffed animal friends had such great adventures. And now, Tamagotchis and other toys (such as a cast of Barbies) get to join the crew! Plus there's a cartoon side to it now. The possibilities are beyond endless!

So…you could either wait for the timeline to develop, watch new picture stories come out behind the scenes, or both!

There's just so much to do with this blog and I have so little time having two jobs. But I am working SO HARD to find a balance! I already think about this blog ALL THE TIME!!!!

I might actually re-start and re-do the timeline because I found some content older than "The Squid V5 Log", so numbers maybe a little wacko soon. But I'll post all the past, finish KATW's progress, then I'll loop back to the first few KATVP stories to symbolize the present. Then get onto the future!!!

Don't worry it'll all make sense when it's done! Please bear with my mess. The stories will be great, I promise!!!!!!

OKAY I KNOW MY THOUGHTS ARE EVERYWHERE BUT IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO BACK TO WORK NOW. OKAY, I LOVE YOU GUYS; I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON! <3
