11/10/2009 Well...What can I say, really?
I've been told in the past that I have avoidance issues. When times of stress or problems arise, I just kinda back away or, well, avoid them. Trust me, it's not fun, and the worst part is that even knowing it's a problem, it doesn't make it easier to fix.
It's been a long time since the last update. Circumstances on both mine and Robin's sides, time constraints, stress from work...All of these played parts in putting off the update for a bit. Add to that frustration I was experiencing in the writing and the art, and that pushed it off even more. Top it all off with avoidance issues, and it's been what you've seen (or not seen, really).
I've not been to the forums in forever; my e-mail goes unchecked; I've not drawn; I'm sick of re-writes. I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I can come back from this or not. The longer that goes by, the more I know I'm disappointing people, and the more that happens, the more I draw back. It sucks.
And that leads me to the worst part of this update: I still don't know when there will be something worthwhile to post. Robin's feeling better physically, which was a big hang-up with the coloring earlier. But I'm still having lots of problems that I feel like I should have overcome by now.
If you're reading this, thanks for sticking around. I wish I had better news for you.
I suppose the one bit of hope is that I've been pondering how to adjust things to be more workable. Brainstormed ideas include a change in the art style, lessening the amount of panels per page, even changing up character designs for some variety. People who have contacted me have been very encouraging, and I feel very guilty for not having jack to show for it.
Perhaps this is a sign I've finally bitten off more than I can chew, or perhaps this is just a looooong, unexpected break that needed to happen. 2009 has not been kind to The Wotch--or maybe that's the other way around, really.
I'm sorry for the massive, unprompted, and inexcusable delay. If we've lost your readership, that is our own fault. Perhaps someday we can get it back.
EDIT: Oh, heh, I forgot to mention my broken scanner. Well, granted, that's a big technological impediment, but from my perspective it's kinda the least of the problems.  |
