Been working on an Alpha Reading membership site for my book, going to pick back up writing soon and it’s always more fun with some help!

@matthiasiam Could you explain it? It sounds awesome, but I have no idea what that is. Also yaay more writing stuff from you!

@matthiasiam Oh shoot not the book haha I meant this “Alpha Reading membership” thing, sorry.

@Altari0beyta oh ahah. I’m just building a simple site around “Notion.so” so members can leave notes on the chapters by directly highlighting what they’re talking about.

@matthiasiam also I’m planning on writing a full e-book story about you. Any tips for me?

@gracehahn my real name isn’t Matthias lol?

@matthiasiam I am really stoked for this. I followed when you would post updates before and have been wondering about this. I am really excited.

@matthiasiam my bad. I knew you as that name for a long time on YouTube but I knew that your real name was Matthew. I just wanted to respect you and your name

@matthiasiam oh that sounds awesome! Can’t wait for that. You’ve actually inspired me to pick up writing again. It’s so fun and a great way to get my mind of off the calamity that is my next week. So many things to do, and then finals and an AP Biology exam ontop have all been weighing on my mental health. Cannot wait for summer, but I feel like I could break down at any moment. Writing, reading (the only thing I can actively read is the Bible anymore) church and art has been keeping me afloat though. Sorry for the dump, haha, but writing is an awesome thing.

@Altari0beyta honestly that’s why I’m getting into writing again, it’s really cathartic and helps me express myself without directly engaging the pain lol

@matthiasiam I’m also planning on drawing a full art picture of you as well. I found out that drawing actually calms me down since I also suffer from bad mental breakdowns and stress.

@matthiasiam I feel that haha. I get the same way when I play my viola. When I’m having a tough day I usually just find the grittiest piece in my binder of music that I have and put all my anger or emotions into the bow and strings. All I think about is the music notes and moving my bow and fingers. With writing I end up channeling thst anger into a character and having them work through the emotion and it ends up helping me in the end. Really cool how it does that

@matthiasiam oooh this sounds amazing!!

I started writing fiction (kinda based on 863 oops) for the first time in a really really really long time but dang it feels nice to be doing it again!!

@Altari0beyta I know how you feel because the same thing happens to me when I get super angry and when I get super angry, I lose control and I literally punch things to help me calm down but I found something to calm me down which are of course watching all of Matt’s videos and drawing art

@gracehahn Yeah it’s really tough. My emotions have been up and down up and down all week

@Altari0beyta same here and even if I already mastered on full control of my anger, when something makes me angry, I lose it but I always remember to calm down and remember that I have great friends like you guys and of course Matt’s videos to help me get through the day

@matthiasiam is it ok for me to do a drawing of you Matt?

@gracehahn his videos sure are a plus, but sometimes for me they are only a distraction. I tend to let my emotions bottle up and I hold them back. Finding a good, safe way to express them helps so I don’t have explosions

@Altari0beyta that’s why I draw to help me calm down and honestly I think that I found one of many of my hidden talents.

@gracehahn That’s great! Are can be frustrating at times, but it lcan also be really therapeutic

@Altari0beyta I agree with you on that. I’m just waiting for Matt’s response of me drawing him. I hope that he responds back to me soon

@thatzoegirl I also started writing stories again and I agree with you on that. It does feel good to write again and I haven’t done that for years.

@gracehahn he’s probably gone to bed by now haha. Which reminds me, I have to as well. Have a good night

@Altari0beyta wait how do you know when he goes to bed and oh ok wnd goodnight.

@thatzoegirl I’m also planning on selling items that are related to project 863 as well

@gracehahn I don’t know exactly lol but I can assume since he’s only an hour behind me timezone wise

@matthiasiam This sounds like a great way to get feedback. Basically crowdsourcing an editor/proofreader that gets the opportunity to be among the first to read the work.

@Altari0beyta wait but doesn’t be live in la though?

@Altari0beyta also how are you?

@matthiasiam that sounds really cool

@gracehahn yep. California and Colorado (where I live) have an hour’s difference because of the different timezones the state’s lie in

@gracehahn I’m good. Just got out of church! How are you?

@Altari0beyta nice and that’s good to hear and I’m great. I’m kind of sad that my company name change idea didn’t get any likes on YouTube but oh well. That took me almost 1 hour to think of a name.

@matthiasiam happy Mother’s Day Matt. My question is what kind of photo of you should I use to draw you?

@gracehahn oh I’m sorry. Yeah sometimes there are just tons of comments to go through and look at

@Altari0beyta that’s true but I hope that Matt likes my company name idea though. It’s not easy to think of a name that goes with the new mission statement.
