I’m Jess, and I’ve been making stuff online since 2001. My videos are about making a life online and off. I'm a writer and teacher living in a beach town beside Semiahmoo Bay. You can find my work here on RUclips, in my newsletter, and from Microcosm Publishing. My first nonfiction book is The Magic of Pockets, published in 2022, a guide to sewing the best addition into your clothes.
See You Again 👋 Monday Puzzmo Cross|word
I love a Monday crossword. I love the feeling of flying through the clues. But this is Puzzmo, which doesn't follow the classic newspaper crossword progression. Any day could be your day. Why not try today's puzzle? www.puzzmo.com/puzzle/2024-09-30/crossword

it's time for a new notebook
Просмотров 517 часов назад
The first sign I know something is off is that I'm not writing. I've been in the same notebook since May 2023. And the Erin Condren planner I bought in April, which was supposed to solve everything, was sitting empty on my coffee table. It's time for some tough love. I need to give up. The Bloom and Grow notebook cover is no longer available, but check out the other products from the designers,...

Thanks so much Jess. I finally understand about the cover size and have fixed them all this afternoon. Very helpful tips thanks. Lovely zine today. Some future theme possibilties if you are interested . . . Managing money, Family values, Joy.
Thanks, Bev. Your page looks great!
Love your zine!
Thank you!!
Here’s my zine 🎉 I scanned the coloured version and fixed the cover jessdriscoll.itch.io/aurora
Thanks! Is there a way to edit the template for a 16 page quarter size zine? I get confused with page numbering. I also was wondering how much to trim off the top for easy turning?
I actually have a 16pg template, but your comment made me realize it's not part of my bundle. I just uploaded it for you! jessdriscoll.itch.io/pages-templates For trimming, I use a sliding paper cutter, and I try to cut the slightest bit, like 1/8"
@@jessdriscoll thank you so much! ❤️
Sunday's zine is up for you to download! jessdriscoll.itch.io/sunday-zine-again
Here is the zine we made! 🎉 jessdriscoll.itch.io/lets-jam
That makes sense! I’m not super great at crossword puzzles, but if Jeopardy is on tv, I feel really good shouting out any answers that I know!
Yes! I grew up watching Jeopardy with my dad. It’s where a lot of my love for random trivia comes from
I do morning pages daily, but always seem to de-prioritize the Artist's Date. The few that I've done have been magical in very ordinary ways. Thanks for reminding me and inspiring me. And I LOVE that you just got on a bus to see where it took you. Brillient.
Yes! You have to do it, especially if it’s ordinary. I truly believe that’s the key. You’re very welcome, and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Another endorsement I've seen for "The Artist's Way" that's selling me on picking it up soon! I love an artist date, so I'm really glad you've taken one <3
I had resisted the book for most of my 20s because it just sounded so cheesy and it is! But in a good way 😅 Now I’m old and, like, do what makes you feel good
ок
You get it 😆
Thanks so much that was fun to listen to! I was working on a zine collagraph plate and backgrounds as you worked and the time flew by. Very cool random zine. You are inspirational. 😊
I love that you were working on a project at the same time! That’s exactly what I hope these videos can inspire
I love your words and final sentence! Happy International Zine Month! I made a folio zine today of old art I had done many years ago and was driven to get it all into a pdf and printed out. I used to like playing Angry Birds on my Nook tablet, now I play Fortnite on my PC and Quest VR Real Fishing when I find time. I’m a gadget granny! Thanks for sharing, nice to hear Carmen’s name again paired with your thoughts. 🎉
My grandpa is a gadget grandpa 😆 I definitely go through phases with video games. Right now, I’m all about word puzzles.
Thanks for sharing your zine making. I just got back into them and glad I found your channel. Love the Ultra font. Don’t forget to add “best” in your bday party sentence. ❤
Ooh thanks for the catch! I’ll get that fixed
Jess, what printer paper weight do you suggest for zines to sell? I didn’t know how heavy I should go. Thanks so much. 😊
I was looking at 24 lb. Or 28 lb. On Amazon. Sorry, about the American weights. 😊
Staples sells a 28lb white paper that’s designed for laser printers-which is what I use. I definitely like that extra weight, especially if I’m not adding a cardstock cover.
@@jessdriscoll thank you so much! I have an Epson ink jet printer and think that should work with that. I’ve been binge watching videos of everything zine to get reacquainted. You rock. 😊
I don’t know what was going on with the audio but it kicks in at 20:32. Apologies!
This is so cool! I’m 14 and have a little knowledge on sewing , but I’m gonna get my mom to get this so that I can learn more. This is a very unknowingly needed skill!
It’s a great skill to learn. I hope you have fun sewing!
Love this. I’m coming back to writing after something like a decade away and the idea that I’m basically starting from scratch is so demoralizing. I may be a little rusty, but I have to remember that it’s just getting back into the habit! 💪🏻
Yes! The rust means you already started. So you only have to continue.
Think you......I search for this book and its perfect for me. especially at this time in my life.....Thanks again great recommendation!
Yes! I feel the same way. It comes back to me at the right moment in my life.
i love how straightforward this is! thank you so much!
I’m so happy it worked for you. That is exactly why I made this very simple videos. Thank you!
Thanks for all the videos! Love the passion. Cheers from Prague, Czech Republic.
Thank you! I really appreciate it.
This was a yr ago n it helped me merci beaucoup
Thank you for the templates!
You’re welcome! I hope you make lots of zines 😁
Thanks very much for the templates, and for using open formats! This is the 4th video I've watched on the folding process and by printing your quarter-page template, I was finally able to follow along sucessfully!
Omigosh you’re so welcome! I’m so happy it helped you out, and I hope you’ve been making lots of zines 😁
Congratz on the book, it looks cool!
Thank you!!
<3
Thank you!
damn, that's deep I underestimate what taking naps can do
It really works!
Very nice. Do you trade for zines or have a store to buy them? I have a short halfsize and a minizine to trade if you are interested.
I do! jessdriscoll.itch.io/
Love this, hope you get more traction.
Thank you! It’s definitely a long game.
This was very helpful, thank you
I’m glad!
👌
Thank you!
Thanks for this, Jess - I fully agree. The beach isn't available for me, but we live in a suburb, and I make the most of two walks a week to post letters, extending it for an hour. It's good to see the sun directly behind flowers, & not just when I've my camera, and talking to dog-walkers (who like it when I remember their dogs' names, or perhaps identify them from their dogs. However, Tuesday and today have been rather hot and people have walked then early, to ensure that they don't get overheated, and on neither occasion did I see anyone I knew.
Catherine! I’m so happy to see a comment from you. Making the most of outside is exactly what this video is about, yes!
You live close to the beach! 😮
I do! 7 minute walk downhill; 20 minute walk back home lol
Thank you for the template.
You’re welcome! I hope you make many zines
The first time I ever got into the freeway I was alone in an unfamiliar area. One second I was driving on the street going straight and that street turns into the freeway I was so unprepared… but no one died
Omg glad everything turned out ok
This is the first time I've heard of morning pages, I've never read the book either; but it seems like a great way to get rid of all that's going on in your head. Thank you for making this video and informing me about this, I'll be sure to try it.
I’m so glad! I hope the practice works for you like it has for me.
