Having Good Times With The Book of Good Times (Patreon)

This book showed up at my house and wanted me to help it become a human, and I did my best!

I figured there are probably some of you who also have one of these, or who have heard about it, since there's a lot of overlap between my audience and Hank and John Green's audience. If not, the story of the book/journal I'm having a good time with in this video starts in this vlogbrothers video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6m6_ayVvA1Y

I've been a prolific journaler all my life. There's a ton of journaling content around visual aesthetics and stationary products, or introductory journaling skills. But as a lifelong journaler I want stuff that goes a little deeper, and The Book of Good Times comes at things from an angle I hadn't seen before. So I supported the kickstarter, and decided to make the kind of journaling vlog I want to see in the world.

I was looking forward to seeing what other people did with their own Books of Good Times, and didn't check what was out there until after I finished writing in mine to avoid spoilers. To my surprise, I was unable to find a single video with significant content of actually doing the thing. Or maybe that's just Internet Search having evolved into a different beast now that the Information Age is over (sorry, but I'm calling it). But now that I've finally finished editing I understand why there's no popular videos if any, because I severely underestimated how long it would take. Taking such a long time on a single "vlog" feels bad, even though I know that exactly zero of you are going to guilt me about it (which I appreciate!) and it's not like it's a new discovery that I'm a snail.

If you want to avoid spoilers, you can get a Book of Good Times here and the video will be waiting for you after you've had your own good times: store.dftba.com/products/book-of-good-times-soft-cover (they also come in hardcover.) Also, the tea I showed in the video is from good.store/ (they also do coffee, soap, socks, and underwear. The underwear is as good as everyone says. And I like their business model.)

Thank you for being here and supporting all these projects, I'm enjoying going in some different directions year! Say "hi" and I will say "hi" back, and as always feel welcome to modify your subscription as your finances allow. I walk almost everywhere so these gas prices barely touch me, and my videos remain free and public on Vimeo.
