Another State of the Author post. The story is still being produced in Inkscape on my new art computer; the process is still generally working despite finding new ways to annoy me here and there. These are mostly technical issues that should not affect the flow of the story.
My health this year has seen much improvement. My partner Hamachi came across a weight loss study which we both joined, and the effect has been dramatic for both of us. I’ve shed over 50 pounds so far and am feeling better about life overall. The study will call for a minor medical procedure later this month and the strip may go on hiatus briefly during the recovery period.
Behind the scenes there is much turmoil. There’s been a wooded lot behind the house where I live, untouched for decades. It was recently bought by a development company and has been torn away. Apart from the loss of habitat for local wildlife, the constant noise and vibrations are not providing the most ideal environment for artistic meditation. I am getting along as best I may, but the next entry needs a bit more thought from me before it can go up. I will shoot for next Monday at this point
Thank you very much for reading!
