getting in gear

New stuff in two days, yay! Actually tomorrow, since it just became Wednesday. Yay for late nights.

I’ve been trying to get everything back together on the back end, making sure all the software that powers the site is up to date and in good shape. So far it is, which makes my life that much easier. 😀

In addition to this, I also patched and updated the security on the forums, since they’ve been sitting pretty dormant for a while now and I thought it would be nice to have them up again. I’ve seen comments from a few new faces in the past few weeks, so if there are more out there don’t feel too shy to leave a comment or drop by the forums! (I don’t bite, I swear! My cat does, though.)

Been getting pages ready. I am taking a slightly different stance on the way I’m working through this chapter. I plan on experimenting more with the art and tools where I can, and taking it less seriously. I’ve been playing with a brush and ink and it’s something I could certainly adapt to the comic. It’s very relaxing to work with, which is what this all should be. Working on the comic has felt sort of stale lately, which is part of why updates have been so infrequent. Hopefully this will make it feel more new and interesting for a while. 🙂

Other than that, life is life as usual. New pages will be up the 27th!

Okay, it’s been way too long.

The past few (well, many) months of my life have been a rollercoaster like none other.

I:

  • finished a college semester
  • finished half my senior thesis
  • applied to grad school
  • had a falling out
  • moved. twice.
  • got my first apartment
  • went to disney world
  • lost a beloved cat to kidney failure
  • adopted an adorable cat from a shelter
  • got to know my relatives in awesome new ways
  • had a patching up

So you can see things have been a little fast-paced. Not to be a whiner, or something.

Meanwhile, I’m up late because something in a box I was just unpacking set off my allergies and my nose is now a snot factory. So what am I doing? Fixing all the broken links in the archives, of course! I went through page by page and fixed every comic that wasn’t displaying. At least I think I did. If you spot any pages that aren’t working, leave me a comment here and I’ll get at it in the morning.

In between that, I set in work on a page that’s been half finished for the better part of a year. No, really. Wanna see?

Okay, so I blurred it out so it isn’t dead obvious what’s coming up. What would be the point of this months-long cliffhanger if I gave it away in a photo of a rare view of the mess I work at every day? It’s there, I swear! And it’ll be up ASAP.

I hope the wait has been worth it. I apologize for my attitude in the past few months to commenters. It’s been a rough ride, but the outcome has been worth it. Thanks for sticking with me and the support I’ve gotten through comments/emails/etc. It’s good to know you’re all still out there. I feel collected, settled, and whole again, and very ready to get back to work. I can’t promise that there’ll be a page every week; I still have one semester left and the rest of my senior thesis to complete, along with a zillion other things, but I can promise I’ll put in my best effort. It’s been a nice break, but it’s time to get this back on track. Hopefully life will allow me to do so with more ease.

Oh yeah, and I also got engaged. I’m getting married in August to the best friend I’ve had since I was in fifth grade on the school bus. Life is just funny like that, I guess.

Let’s see where this takes us, shall we? 🙂
