Runewriters Will Not Be Continued
Hey gang, it’s been a little while. Wanted to make an official update.
So, the short version: Runewriters will not be continued for the foreseeable future. I’d like to put together a post to share how the rest of the comic was planned to go, but it’ll take some time to figure out how to put that together.
Obviously I can’t say with 100% certainty that I will never return to this story, but I think I am finished with it. This is a decision I thought really hard about – is there some way I could do a paired down version, or a very sketchy version, without dipping right back into burnout? This is a comic that ended before it ever got to a lot of things that I really wanted to share. But… ultimately I think, I can’t keep holding out hope that some future version of myself will want to finish this. As dear as Runewriters has always been to me, I can’t imagine coming back and working on it again. I still really appreciate how much folks invested in it; it genuinely means so much to me still today, and I’m sorry that I no longer have the rest of the story in me to give you.
Here is a comic by Valerie Halla that resonated with me… a lot, while I was trying to make sense of this decision. Obviously, she wrote that for her, not me – but she really captured feelings I couldn’t put to words.
That said, I’d really like to come back at some point and put together, like, a little rundown of concept art and synopsis for Runewriters, just a little something to share what the story would’ve been and the ideas I had, to kind of resolve it. I’d like to not keep spoilers for a comic I’m never going to finish locked up inside my head, haha. And there’s a couple of characters you guys never even got to MEET! I’d like to let people meet them, even if it’s just through me and the ideas I had. Maybe it’s silly to do this so far after the last update; after all, I don’t know how long it’ll take me to put together, and I’d like to wait until I have friends nearby to help me organise it, and that’s a long time to wait for a story that won’t really be finished. But I’d still like to do it!I think that’s all I’ve got. I don’t know if I’m going to do another comic eventually. I don’t have anything else lined up! I’m still drawing, but less focused on PROFESSIONAL PROJECTS at the moment.

THAT'S EVERYTHING FOR NOW! This might've been kinda expected by now, but I did want to tell you all for sure what the decision was. Thank you to everyone who's supported me, and supported this work that has meant so much to me, and thank you all for being so chill and supportive while I took the time I needed to figure out what was going to be best for me. ;u;
