stressed

Sorry, no new comic; but I thought I should make a quick note of WHY and WHEN, since those are the two questions people ask most.

The secondary purpose is to say that even though *I* do not have new stuff, there are three new pieces in the guest art gallery - by my wonderful liebchen, the ever-inspiring Mirre, and, totally out of the blue and rather flooring, from the author/artist of another very good webcomic (which is updated far more routinely than mine, it seems), DIVE.

So you should definitely check those out.

That said, there won't be a new page until after I get home, because finals are killing me and finishing the next page is not even a notion I can comprehend at this point. I don't know if I'll be able to get something done right after I get home - I might need some time to recuperate - but I'll try at the least to have a Christmas Special up on time, and hopefully new pages after that.

I can't remember if I posted about it in this journal or not, but it's now like 99.9% sure that I'm going to Japan in the spring. I have to say 99.9% because Nagoya hasn't made their final decision yet, but my college (NYU) pre-screens applicants and only two people's profiles were forwarded, mine included. They've never had Nagoya turn down someone they've recommended (though there's a first time for everything, I guess.) I'm not sure what's going to happen with the comic in the time I'm gone (April - Aug/Sep), but we'll play it by ear, I suppose.

The point of all that is to point out that I'm going to have three months of winter vacation instead of a summer vacation this year. Unfortunately I have to get a job to pay the bills (and my airfare and spending money in Nagoya), but I am hopeful that I'll be able to get plenty of other things accomplished. High on my priority list are things like DRAWING MORE, revamping the art section of dokucom, updating commission information, rearranging some stuff.. generally making the site more navigable and user-friendly, as well as linking only to content and not to half-explained story ideas that never went anywhere. It would also be nice to write again, but that's a distant dream.
