Hey guys! I’m so sorry these past two weeks have been very stressful for me. I don’t know why I decided I can keep updating FanFyria 2 while editing FanFyria 1 and keeping up with a full time job. ^^;;
Maybe I was under the effect of lots and lots of coffee at the time!
Long story short, I’m terribly burned out. I can’t edit FanFyria 1 while trying to keep up with FanFyria 2 and I’ve become dissatisfied with the quality. It’s been over a year since I finished the first comic and I really want to indeed have it edited this year. So, bear with me for I will dedicate this summer for this. I’m giving myself two months before I resume FanFyria 2. My goal is to indeed have a physical copy by my birthday (19th of September!)
And now for long story long!
Some of you know, some don’t, but my mother got diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She is still undergoing chemo at the moment. It’s supposedly caught in time but it really hit me and left me depressed and shaken for a long while and it still does. I wanted to have FanFyria 1 edited and done by her birthday in May but I failed to do so. Now I want to finish it by September and surprise her. That’s the goal anyway!
And of course when it rains, it pours. Last month I was given a new mobile game project at work and quite frankly, it’s been one man show thus far. There is so much my brain can stretch between doing graphics, gameplay, game design, money mechanics and so on. At times I regret taking it cause every day after work I come back completely and utterly drained. At the same time, it is great experience and I’m learning as I go! It just really feels like so much and makes me want to throw hands up and say “I quit at life!” …. but I can’t really do that. >_>;;
So, here I am, drained, burned out and unable to squeeze creative juices whenever I sit and begin to outline FanFyria 2’s pages. Then I feel like utter failure when I don’t update and feel like I disappoint you all.
Thankfully this game project is to be (hopefully) completed by end of July and when I (hopefully) finish editing FanFyria 1, I will feel less like a puddle of fail-goo and my muse will be generous enough to bless me with crative flow again! (Please, Grumps?)
Untill then…
Thank for sticking with me guys, it really means the world to me! I will keep checking for replies and reply back to comments or occasionally leave a pic or more so you know I’m not dead. ^_^;;;
Take as much time as you need, Denny! We’ll cheer for you, regardless! Life gets hard, and there is only so much time and energy you can give before you just fall over and want to hit the delete world button! I can understand that! So please, rest, and handle what you can! D=
Thanks… I’ve been doing better this week! I feel more confident on the editing work I can do this weekend! *fist pump!*
I agree with Tensard. You deserve a break after all the work you’ve done.
More like just reduced tempo ^_^;;; I’m still working on editing the pages with L’s help!
So far it’s only Chapter 1 and 2 done. I hope I will tackle Chapter 3’s corrections this weekend.
Seriously, don’t overdo it. I know how too many projects can be a nightmare to sort through. Take your time, get some rest along the way, and know that we’ll be eagerly awaiting your return whenever you’re ready.
But only when you’re ready.
Thank you! I’m just reducing the tempo for the moment. I still try to do as much editing on FF1 as I can and likely add a couple of pages here and there to extend some scenes. ^_^;;
Don’t overexert yourself, take it easy and come back when you feel like it. Don’t worry, we’ll be there when you come back!
Thank you! You guys are the best readers! It’s really helping me push through. I’m done editing chapter 1 and 2 (small progress given how long are the other chapters!) with L’s help and hopefully we’ll tackle Chapter 3 by the end of this month. ^_^;;
If y’all need any help with editing, let me know. I’d be glad to help in any way that I can. ^_^
Thank you for the offer! I’m not sure anyone can really help! XD; It’s the annoying resize pages, little touch ups here and there to fit the printing template. I found out my larger size pages are not big enough for the template…*cough* so stretching a bit but trying not to lose quality ^_^;; So far 50 pages are done! …just 200 more to go. Hahah…ha T_T;;
I may start doing weekly updates with how the process is going! ^_^
Take as long of a break as you need to. Work on less things little by little and don’t stress yourself out. It’s not fair to you to end up stressed out by trying to keep up with something you love while simultaneously dealing with other projects and just life in general.
Working less is almost non existing mode for me. XD;; It’s not very healthy, I admit! I love working on FanFyria but with all the side stress and things, it became a chore over the past month. I hope when I’m done editing FF1 I will get my mojo back!
Thank you for the support! *big hugs!*
Greetings from the dark side of the internet!
In all seriousness, that happens to the best of us – there’s nothing that you can do to avoid it from happening.
A tad late reply but hello! Long awaited vacation started for me! A week in the hellish summer heat but it will hopefully be enough to pass 100 edited pages on FF1. I’m still at fairly low number. ^_^;;
Also, it seems like the less active the page is, the more I get spam comments. Best I kick myself into posting some pics updates!
