Hellooooo. Finally I have a draft of the next chapter.

This is not a really readable quality image, so please don't hurt yourself trying to decipher anything XD! It's rather meant as proof of things taking shape, after another long silence period!

I wanted to storyboard both chapter 12 and 13, so I could guarantee not running into writer's block again ... And ease my own anxiety to know that I am set up for a while. But this one chapter took me so incredibly long to plan already, that I simply can't put in even more of my time on just continuing these sketches. I need to get into finishing some pages and I am actually looking forward to page-DRAWING mode now TvT!

I don't know if it's any good tho'. I really can't even build an opinion anymore, and I have no one to closely discuss ideas with. But I hope, that at least some of the long time it took, went into something of value ... and at some point I need to stop worrying and just get back in there TvT.

___________________________

I can't really describe my cognitive issues to you in precise words ... but I feel like my brain is broken. ADHD always made my work process chaotic and me prone to procrastination (but since drawing was my passion, this manifested mostly in all other areas of life). Depression, and fatigue from other illnesses, disordered eating and burnout always put me into long periods of paralysis, where I couldn't function and that's when my output definitely always suffered ... But this recent (well, I'm already talking about almost three years now) brain fog, chronic physical pain and just a never ending tiredness, and not knowing where the days and WEEKS went.... is new/different. It's like I just can't believe how much time passed again, where I couldn't see any progress. I am still trying to figure out this health situation... I'll update when I am wiser lol

I love your story, both the old and new versions. Have more confidence in yourself; you have great ideas. I love the character development, the art style, the new page, and the Easter eggs in the chapters. Take all the time you need; you always deliver quality chapters. Don't listen to the haters. Personally, I like that characters like Scott aren't perfect because nobody is in real life, and we should learn from our mistakes and improve as people. If there weren't conflicts, the story would be boring, and it isn't. Since the old version, you've created endearing characters and stories that people can relate to and can't help but love. Your comic is very underrated. I have no doubt that one day it will have its own series like Heartstopper or Heated Rivalry. Keep going; we support you.

I haven't donated to any other artist besides you on patreon. I donate to you because I find your stories compelling and the artwork is beautiful. I know it can be harder to keep positive comments in mind over the rarer criticisms, at least it is for me. But I hope you gain more confidence in the quality of your work.

Your art and story are amazing, if I could eat your art I would. I was like Scott for a while, until therapy, religious deconstruction, and awesome friends. I love the bad apple reference, Touhou fandom songs are soooo good. Sending out good vibes and hopefully you get some answers about your health conditions.

I’m so glad to see you back! Dealing with writers block and ADHD is hell so I rlly admire you to still be able to share with us your work!! 💛

Hello, Beloved YAA. I hope you know that all the great artists in history endured a lot of internal and external pressure. Your work is an expression of every experience you have lived. How much pressure are you putting on yourself to perform? Please, PLEASE tell that inner voice that wants to rush you to produce, for WHATEVER REASON, to GO BACK TO THE HELL IT CAME FROM. Dearest, the most precious commodity we have is time. Don't rush for us. Don't rush for the part of you that wants to guilt you into producing. Your best works are yet to come. You have our respect. You have our concern. We are a COMMUNITY because of YOU. Your work is a gift. A GIFT. Only a fool rushes and provokes the giver of a gift. And we're wise enough NOT to do that. Please say this aloud AT LEAST once a day: "The ones who care for me, not only as an artist but as a beloved friend, are patiently waiting for me." Because. WE. ARE. ❤️ PS Your work is heartfelt and vibrant. And we will wait until you are ready to share again. Remember, YAA, you are loved for ALL THE RIGHT REASONS. Allow yourself to relax. You're right on schedule! ❤️
