Yes, I do intend to temporarily move to thrice weekly. I hope this isn’t going to confuse everyone in the world… I just wanted to get the storyline moving because I realized it would take me until September to tell the whole story I want to tell, just because the pages will be released so slowly.

So! I’m going to give a MWF MTTh schedule a try. What I’m going to do is try MWF MTTh next week, and then back to TTh the week after. Please let me know how you feel about that alternating week format (I know it’s annoying), and I’ll see if I want to continue it in that manner. This way, pages get up faster and I’ll get my story arc done sometime this year. Haha…

Edit: I decided it might be easier to just to a Monday – Tuesday – Thursday update, for those of you that come to my page on those days anyway. I’ll see how it works with this schedule instead.

What’s new in my life? I’ve been fostering a cute stray calico; experimenting with new kinds of art involving ink brushes, bristol paper, and tones (so check out updates to my art gallery); and last weekend I got to hang with webcomicker Ross of The System and some old and new friends all night long. I’ve generally been quite busy and between the kitty and Frey’s running wheel breaking down and squeaking all night, I’ve also had a huge lack of sleep. So if my comics have been terse or sparse, now you know why!

In other news, I apoligize for not sharing these great fanart-type pieces with you sooner! From Shade comes a beautiful xmas gift illustration (love the bristly painted look and texture!), from friend and previous co-worker Ray comes a piece on the other end of the spectrum with hard lines and tones that’s cute and simple, and from webcomicker Jhorsley of Y2CL comes a neat fanart drawn on the back of a comic page!! Thanks all! They’re freakin’ awesome!

..

Also, hope you guys had a great holiday! I didn’t get many extravagant things, but everything I got I liked/wanted/needed! I’ll be uploading some pictures of my haul as soon as I find and unpack my camera… Ah, my new place is such a mess!

In addition to everything, my little kitty of 12 years (I could’ve sworn we’ve been together for longer!), Ashes, has been having a lot of health problems. She lives at my parent’s home and I’ve not been able to spend as much time at home now that I have work. I wish I could help my mom take care of her, it’s a huge burden and she’s been doing everything mostly on her own. I’m afraid that it might be the end and every time I get a chance to do home, despite everyone’s best attempts, she’s been getting frailer and frailer. It’s depressing to see her so small and feeble, and I only see her briefly so I can’t imagine what mom must be going through.

So just bear with me, everyone. I promise I’ll do everything to keep updating The Glass Urchin, but I might not have such a big presence online for a while.
