An update coming soon!?
Sorry for the radio silence lately. Everything's fine. Just busy. Speaking of which, there will be an exciting and significant update on my next comic, My Impossible Soulmate, on Monday. ^_^
Checklist Check-in, Part 2
Work progress is going slower than I'd like. Real life's been keeping me busy, and some brutal depression is leading to me needing frequent long breaks. Things are getting done with the Rain books and MIS prep; I just expected I'd be a lot further along by now. My spouse has been going through a lot too. We're both super burnt out and decided we're going to do something we don't do nearly enough - take a vacation. Just a short trip away from home with new scenery, new things, and absolutely no rushing or obligations. Anyway, we're leaving tomorrow. So we won't be around for a few days and I won't even be able to work. And at this very moment, I don't care. We both need this. I probably didn't need to say anything. Chances are, you'd never know. I already post somewhat infrequently right now (although knowing me, I might actually post more if I get bored on the train, or have trouble sleeping in the hotel). XD But I haven't done a progress update in a while, so I wanted
Checklist check-in, Part 1
As of today, my list of things to do looks like this. As opposed to April 20th, where it looked like this. So, not an overwhelming amount has changed (bear in mind, some of that time was also my time off), but progress is happening. ^_^ Earlier this week, I posted a teaser for My Impossible Soulmate, which I was very excited to find received an overwhelmingly positive response. I wasn't sure what exactly to expect, but it's been very encouraging. And all the input/criticism is being taken into consideration. I'll probably post some font and brush tests and such in the future too in favor of offering as optimal an experience as I can. ^_^ I've also finally finished all the new drawings for the Characters page. All 68 of the originally projected 50. (So. Many. Characters...) XD I haven't worked things out perfectly yet, but the new Characters page will probably look a little different. It may even contain less information in favor of avoiding spoilers for newcomers
Checklist for the future
So, this is my ADHD self, just itemizing everything that needs to be done in the coming months. I don't usually do stuff like this, but I'm trying something different. Like, whether I completed an 11 year comic or not, I'm still incredibly absent-minded and very prone to procrastination. So anything I can do to help myself along is probably for the better. ^^; And I'm sharing this because I wanted to be transparent about what it is I'm doing right now, and what my goals are. The bottom line is that I want to begin My Impossible Soulmate, but I'm afraid if I jump in to that before finishing the books, they'll just never happen. So, I feel as though the books must happen first. How long does this take, then? I don't know. In theory, if I checked off just one box everyday (not counting the ones already checked), it would take about four months, give or take. But some things will probably take longer than a day, while others can reasonably be done much, much faster. For what

Just when I think you can't get anymore amazing... Well I'll be buying something ( I've been meaning to anyway). I've donated my hair to locks of love in honor of my mom's friend's daughter, and it's such an amazing feeling. I hope more people get involved!
