Cautiously Optimistic (Patreon)

Written by FennecSilvestre (Silvia Torres)

As we have mentioned, things have been particularly hard for us during the last couple of months, but seeing the kind of events I've been having to deal with during this July, I entered into a resignation state to try protecting myself, until it was all over a couple days ago and finally started to feel a little better. Here's a quick summary of all thats been going on.

Without going into many details, let's just say I had too much to deal with in too little time, affecting my health, both mental and physical. Deaths of loved ones, a third covid wave, depression, confinement and tons of paperwork to deal with, no mention the only place where I really feel comfortable now is my own room, because one step outside and it's chaos right away. It's been really difficult as you can imagine, it's going to take a lot of time and money to solve, but like I said, now I feel like this is about the limit of things getting worse. My art block seems to be finally over, and while everything still hurts, I'm also feeling an urge to try make things better. I didn't have the chance to do much for SL this month, but now that change is imminent, I think I can finally say that I'll be fine, dedicating myself fully to SL from August onwards.

As for Nihil, she wanted me to let you know her computer crashed down a couple weeks ago, and it wasn't until today that she got it back from maintenance. She didn't lose time, though, as she kept writing the last chapter by hand. According to her, she's a couple scenes away from finishing the first draft, and once that's done, I'll step in to help her tie everything together in a second draft, now with the comic format conteplated, so we can start planning out the pages.

This is likely going to take us all of August, but hopefully our predictions are correct and the process will be a little easier to us from now on. It's extremely important that we end the comic this year, but we want to do it the best way we can, keep things moving without rushing anything.

I hope we can announce the release date of Chapter 6 soon, we're also very excited to see what all of this craziness we're writing is going to look like in comic form.

Thank you everyone  for all your help, you guys are seriously the best ❤
