      @Lee-White Did I miss the email or has it not been sent yet? Nevermind I saw they’re adding stuff and will update next week.

        @MimiHecher I don’t think they ever said the whole thing would be free. Just the checklist.

            @MimiHecher Hi Mimi, I'm so sorry if you misunderstood about the book vs the checklist. How to fix your art started off as just the checklist and that is what we wanted to give to our annual subscribers. The 200+ page book was a MASSIVE effort which we added along the way and we just can't give it away for free because of the cost involved in making it. We are, however, giving a good discount to annual subscribers and people who signed up early on the mailing list.

            Hope that helps clarify it. It was such a huge project and sort of grew and grew as we were building it because we wanted it to be so good. We are very proud of it now and hope you guys like it as much as we do! : )

            In terms of what we say vs what we do, we try to stay on top of everything, but sometimes we are later than we want to be when we deliver things. We are all working artists and have a lot of things going on at once. But i can assure you, nothing we have ever done is "for the money". Most of the things we do for svs we do for free and the only reason we do it is to help you guys out. We have done almost 186 episodes of the podcast and have not made a cent from it. In fact, it costs us a lot to have the team we do and we take a loss on every episode in order to pay our team. We ran all the critique arenas totally free, and now we do the monthly how to fix your art sessions for free too. Those are all a considerable amount of time we spend prepping for those, filming, and then editing, etc. And then we run this forum too. All this is done at a loss for us, which we are happy to do for our art community. But when we make something new, we have to charge for it otherwise we would be out of business pretty quick.

                    @AngelinaKizz It should’ve been in an email. Have you checked in the search bar of your emails?

                          @Lee-White I am thankful for what you guys do with the podcast, and my way to give back is every month I support 1 or 2 digital comics on kickstarter to support all our creator community.

                          As soon as I have success with my work I will be getting the how to fix your art book but as Im working on a novel my first goal is the self publishing pro (as I keep working on improving my art)

                            @AngelinaKizz jakes planner you can get as a download on his patreon or you can get it from his store.
                            I am not good enough to use the detailed hourly schedule but I did liked the idea of using it as a logbook, as everytime I get an opportunity to work on my projects I can log it to better understand my rythm and beats as I go.

                            What did helped me most was the “Quarterly focus” I have a 9-5 job so I really just spent any free time creating all type of shiny things. But with this focus I wrote what I wanted and then added some dates on the monthly goals. Thats what helped me focus on my novel writing, editing and digital book creation to post before the end of this quarter.
                            He did post a video of it on his patreon but not a public one yet.

                              @AngelinaKizz found the planner video. It was a live stream so its not on the main channel page
