What an ironic post to make considering what my last few posts were.
I've never been shy about, but I don't advertise it every second of the day. I don't wear a bracelet, or a sticker, that declares me as such to the world. But I am. And for the longest time I didn't know how to deal with it.
You can see it in the history of the running this blog. Brief periods of activity followed by longer periods of inactivity.
Now, you might be wondering why I've decided to make a post about this. 'Is she going to excuse her lack of consistent comic updates?'
Well, yes, but also to say that I am going to say that I am going to be take a deliberate comic hiatus.
Me: *Starts being on top of things, both academically and in my real life, such as studying every day and sticking to my upkeep and chores*
Me: Wow, this is great!
Me: *Starts allowing myself to focus on my art again*
Me: *Feels myself start that familiar mental slip that ultimately leads to academic ruin and art ruin*
Me: Nooooooooooooo
I can't do both. And in the long run, for my well being, I must choose to focus solely on studying and doing my college work.
I'd like to say once I've passed the upcoming test that decides whether I get scholarships, I can start focusing on this again. I'd like to say that once I get into the college I'd like to focus on this again. It's a story I've been working on for 4-5 years now, despite only being in chapter two, and I have the whole thing loosely planned out. But at this rate, until I get better coping skills and management, I cannot promise anything.
I won't make a livelihood out of comics. Maybe other, more dedicated people can, but I've chosen to focus my career prospects on becoming a nurse practitioner. So I must give that goal the dedication and motivation I can't give this.
I hope you understand, the few readers who still check this comic out. I hope that I will be able to continue this. Someday, maybe.
Posts from now on, if there are any, will be infrequent.
Thank you for staying with me all these years, and making me smile at seeing your likes and the rare reblog.
Thank you for everything.
