A Girl’s Best Friend Page 16
This is the first every-other-Tuesday update we’ll be doing! Sorry for the little hiccup, but at least it was only a couple days to wait, eh? I would also like to cross-post some news from the blog and the Patreon just so everyone is kept in the loop:
For those who are maybe not aware, my father passed away very unexpectedly last Sunday, and as the eldest next of kin, a lot has fallen into my lap. I am doing my best to work through it (plus, you know, dealing with grief), which means there are temporary adjustments in my professional life, and permanent changes in my social life.
I was going to really try to bust out the first Muse Mentor double update on time, but I have been in production limbo with the comic, to be quite honest. I am going to revert to my original plan of updating on Tuesdays and Fridays since it better meshes with my schedule at current, so our first official double update will still be this week, but it’s going to be Tuesday the 15th instead of Monday the 14th. Then, after that, all updates will resume normally – Friday the 18th, Friday the 25th, Tuesday the 29th, Friday the 2nd, and so-on-and-so-forth.
I will keep everyone updated as things occur, but for now things are all right and we are on schedule.
It is an odd juxtaposition between the personal news and such a happy, upbeat webcomic. Concentrate on the webcomic!
I’m sorry for your loss and this Brian asshole who is so completely insensitive. You have been doing wonderful on the comic and I hope the things going on in your life go smoothly for you as you work through your grief and responsibilities. Honestly, I believe your personal life comes first and you should not worry about people being upset with you for taking awhile to update the webcomic.
Warm regards~
Thank you so much, Johanna! Honestly the overwhelming bulk of feedback has been supportive, and I feel incredibly lucky to have readers like you that are understanding. Thanks for giving me some encouragement! I can use all I can get.
I absolutely agree with Johanna, and wish you and your family the best during what’s clearly a very difficult time. The comic and your readers will always be here, and you should feel able to take as much time away as you need or want to. I don’t think any reasonable person would be expecting you to maintain updates right now. Hope you’re doing ok.
Aw, thank you so much, Rose! (It’s great to hear from you, btw <3)
We are all doing as okay as to be expected, but it's really been helpful getting support from readers and knowing if I need the time, that I CAN take it. Everyone has been very sympathetic to that, for which I'm very grateful.
Oh my… I’m sorry for your loss Sephiramy. If you need your time, please take it! I don’t mind waiting for your comic–it’s totally worth it.
You’re very sweet, Tada, thank you for the support and the compliment! TMM will keep chugging along but I will certainly let everyone know if I think I need to step back.
Oh hey, I’m really sorry for your loss.
I hope you know that we are not just fans of your work, we’re also here to support you and send you lots of love.
I really wish that you’re feeling better, and I’m sending you a really warm hug.
This is so sweet, Anna, thank you! I can’t tell you how much it means to me to have readers that are so understanding, as well as encouraging, I feel very lucky.
