This past month has been quite a rollercoaster for me... it has been both the most intense burnout I've ever had, but also the most optimistic personal growth following that up.Just one of those 'something's gotta give' turning points in your life where you hit a wall over and over as I've been doing for years... and it was finally that moment of either I give up completely... or I pull up my socks and actually DO something about it.

Sooo... I did something about it! 😊

At risk of sounding pretentious, one of my favourite quotes of all time is from Lau Tzu:"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading."I've been needing to change direction for MANY years with how I've been operating my life day to day... but that shit is HARD as ANY big change is.The main hard part is in order to MAKE big changes, you typically have to burn down your previous track and make shit even harder for you for a while as you rebuild the new one... and that gives you EVERY excuse NOT to do it... and I'd told myself EVERY excuse under the sun as to why 'I can't do it right now'.

The problem is: no one else is gonna do it for me... in the end I've just gotta do it.

I won't go on about it as it'd make this post into MORE of a thesis than they usually are, but I've mentioned some of the things in previous posts that I'd been focusing on.I've worked closely with my therapist to develop the right tools for me to continue on in a much healthier way, and once I have them in my toolbox it'll make life much easier for me, and much more consistent for you 😊

__________________________________________The Comics

Part of the difficulty with 'burning things down' in order to start anew is that I also have a job where I needed to make comics!

This became incredibly difficult in my mental state of flux, a whole new sleep/work schedule, my editor Slip on holiday meaning an increased workload, and a persistent tech problem with my PC that would just randomly crash my computer for seemingly no reason causing me to constantly lose work.When it rains it pours, eh?...

But now I'm on the other side of all those issues!Slip is back from holidays and ready to edit again, I finally diagnosed my PC issue and it turns out that my CPU is fucked and a new one is on the way, and most importantly I'm past the 'burning and rebuilding' part of my renewed life mentality and finally ready to put the train back on the tracks to head in a better direction 😊

And to be clear... that direction still includes creating the comics you know and love 😋

_______________________________________The New Path

With my new path in a better direction, the comics will once again be posted in a consistent way twice a week!I apologise for all the interruptions over this past few weeks, with the tech issues and the redevelopment of my entire life structure shit was pretty crazy! 😅But this week is a clean slate, starting fresh. The comics have returned, and although it'll take me a bit to get used to my new life schedule, things are already looking incredibly promising to be MUCH more sustainable 😊

I just want to thank you ALL here who support me here... it's just and incredible feeling to have so much love and support from you all, even when things are a incredibly rocky.

I'm real excited for what's coming up in both Shape of Blue and Hop Aboard, I hope you've been enjoying them so far!And once I've got a better grip on my new work schedule, I'll also have much more time to devote to other things I've been meaning to work on, such as updating the website with new features, more Nexus cards, a proper timeline of comics, translations, commissioning other art from artists and a bunch more!

Thank you again, it's good to feel in control of my life once more! I'm excited for the futureMuch love,Nexy xx 💜
