Plans for 2020 (Patreon)

New month, new year, new opportunities!

A lot of great things happened in 2019, but there was also a lot of mental health issues. Been thinking about what I'd like to accomplish this year, and how to balance those goals with self care to avoid the...well, to avoid the dead battery feeling I had most of 2019. 

Self care wise, been building a routine that seems to be helping: journeling, quiet time,  anti-depressants, regular meet-ups with friends and regular check-ins with a doctor. The things by themselves seem small, like they wouldn't make a big difference. But when I compare how I'm feeling now to this time last year, when I was doing my dream comic-making job full time (and literally nothing else,) I'm amazed how much change there's been. 

FE-wise, there's a backlog of commissions to catch up on, the Wall of Awesome site to rebuild, and events to look forward to! Just got confirmation I'll be attending Women of Wondercon this year, and participating in Furry Fiesta's Art Show! Been working on a schedule to tackle these without burning out. Seems to be working so far.

And of course, the comic is going to continue! I'd like to collect and print Volume 3 of the archives, but I won't be able to start working on it until June. (Don't want to pile too many projects on top of each other.) But a couple smaller print projects would be possible, including a comic issue of Brian's Day and Diana's Day mirroring each other as a Patreon Exclusive. It has to be mapped out carefully and required some tweaking of Diana's arc, but I think the end product will turn out better for it!

Overall, I'm excited. (Gosh, it feels good to get excited again!) Thank you all so much for your support, kindness and opportunities during 2019, looking forward to making more art and comics for you in 2020!
