I know I've been quiet lately, and part of that is that I have been in a SEVERE slump for almost a year now. In fact, about the only things that DID get done was that I did a small amount of color work for DarkBrain (which ended in disaster), and I restored the archive (fucking joke...) to Starship Moonhawk. Glance has since left Ship in a Bottle, but I have hired a new artist (who will be named at her debut). As for commissions... well, I haven't forgotten them, I've just been dealing with crippling anxiety due to all of the changes going on in my life. It's not really an "excuse" unless you're intimately familiar with how Aspberger's works. In which case, it'd probably make a lot more sense. The short version is that change =/= productivity. We're creatures of routine, and when that routine is busted, so are we.

However, I didn't want to spend hours blathering about all my personal problems. As the title suggests, Peppermint Saga returns SATURDAY! (and those of you who know my work, you know where it is and why I can't link it. ) the **GOAL** is to update the comic Wednesday and Saturday, with Ship in a Bottle similarly returning to Fridays. If all goes well, this will be my new mantra for productivity and I can *FINALLY* get done with the responsibilities I've been shirking. But please keep in mind that I have worked on damn near nothing for an entire year. So I've not been trading one responsibility for another. I simply came to a 99.9% halt. That ends this weekend.

Peace out.
