Hey all,
I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of years. I know what I want. I’m not burnt out or so unhappy with my comic that I’d stop working on it. Anything about it I’d like to fix is work I would enjoy putting in. But the internet keeps changing and its become a mental health drain on me to figure out what and how much of those changes impact me. It’s been hard for me to adapt. The USA is pushing age verification and in my opinion, these laws are designed with bad faith loopholes that are going to have to slog their way through the system before we have a clear picture of what they mean for independent creators.
I don’t know where to go from here. I don’t know if I want to keep working on it, or put what I have on a back shelf and focus on thumbing the story first. In normal times I think I would just continue. 80+ pages is a lot of years and work to just let go, and people have been so encouraging about what’s in them.
I want to take a break from comic page updates and gather my thoughts. I’d like to not work on it unless I want to. I’d like to feel like starting from the beginning again is an option instead of trying to lay down tracks as I go. And there’s the business of figuring out what kind of content the story is going to have in it and where I can host it.
I do know that I still want it. Badly. I would have committed to a hiatus a long time ago if I didn’t want it. But yeah, that’s where we are. I need to take an indefinite hiatus and figure out what’s next.
You may still see small updates while I figure things out, but I need the freedom to just do whatever and sort my thoughts.
