**** UPDATE 11/14/19 ****
I have put together and edited the scripts (I took copious notes) for the past three weeks of diary strips (there’s a LOT), and hopefully will start drawing it tomorrow.
I am juggling a lot. Today was the post office, then helping Cedra paint her gallery space at the museum, the correspondence, then accumulating and editing 3 weeks worth of diary strips, then package more books to bring to the post office in the morning. Whoot!
**** /UPDATE ****
I’m on the road this week. I’ve been keeping notes and taking reference pics, but have no idea when I’ll have time to draw and assemble. 🙂
Take your time…it will be worth the wait.
I know I said take your time, but are you ever coming back? I really enjoy reading about your life and about the other artists you know.
@Julia! Hi! My apologies, I keep hoping to, but I’m really in a pickle as far as deadlines for this graphic novel I am working on Willow weep Manor, and so I am working 12 hour days seven days a week at minimum, and right now I just can’t. I miss it and so wish I could and everything is in and imbalance, and it will return to balance this was all just a scheduling error on my part, but for an hour I’m having to loosen the reins for my health and sanity. The deadline for the book is June, so if not before then hopefully I’ll pick it up again then. Thank you for writing, it feels good to know it was so enjoyed, I only wish it wasn’t on such a long indefinite hiatus.
I enjoyed it too — hope you work things out.
I don’t know if that’s a thing holding you back – but you shouldn’t feel obliged to make a post for each of the missing weeks. I am sure everyone will understand if you jump in right at the time where you are, when you get time for making journal comics again (or perhaps summarize the lost weeks in one comic, if you think it necessary for understanding what’s going on).
@Thorfinn, that’s not it. It’s 100% the fact that I’m working every day all day on inking “Willowweep Manor.” But the journal comic is on my mind!
I’m looking forward to Willowweep Manor and to your journal comic when time allows.
…Of course I’m looking forward to WM. I’ve been a fan of yours since the last millennium (roughly), and of Shaenon since Natbonic moved onto the Modern Tales website (2002?).
Bah. Natbonic.
*kicking my tablet’s software*. Narbonic.
Oddly enough, I actually found myself missing this little slice of your life.
Might I suggest you scale back the weekly to a Monthly Summary? Or even a Quarterly Update? Doesn’t need to be much. How are you and your love doing. What are you working on. Don’t even make it a full page. Just a couple of panels to let us know how you are.
Just a thought. Hope all is well.
