I have pg 1 finished, ready for upload.  I’d rather have another page finished before release.

But slowly, moving along.

Things are moving around here finally.

I definitely go in for surgery sometime between mid to end of March.  Definitely not cancer but definitely abnormal is the diagnosis.  Heh, I have an abby-normal uterus.  (cookie to those who get the movie ref)

Dean is starting up on the next novel.  He has a bit written and is working on the points he wants to cover etc. in the novel.

Me, well, after all the medical stuff done today, I finally relaxed enough to start up working on the next story, Planting the Seed.  I have pg 1 with panel lines drawn and I’m about to start scribbling.

And so here we are.

Thank you all for the kind thoughts, take care!

To be honest, the only thing which has been done comic-wise is the script.

Life threw a hard curve ball to me over the holidays, and it made life here really unpredictable and upheaved.

I had gone in for my usual check-up to my Ob-Gyn, and something didn’t feel right to the doc so he ordered an ultrasound.  That showed that the uterine lining was thicker than it should be, possible 50/50 chance of uterine cancer.  I was to have a biopsy but that was moved to a different date due to the doc’s schedule, and I saw him today.  Cancer chance was nil, but now I have one of two choices: nearly monthly D&Cs or hysterectomy.  He gave me time to decide, like a few days, but I made my decision on the spot: hysterectomy.

So.  No date set yet.  Problem is that our insurance only covers half the hospital bill and his fee.  With Dean still unemployed and me not working at all, it’s all up in the air as to how to get this moving.  The surgery costs $7-$15,000 alone.

This is why I haven’t started the comic yet, why there’s not been another story started.

We would like to upload soon, but when things like this happen…/shrug

Thank you all for your patience.

From both of us to all of you, on either side of the Veil:

The very best of everything this holiday season!

We almost never receive fan submissions (though to be fair, we never ask for them either). Longtime reader Greyryder surprised us with this piece of Zed, looking rather put out. Thanks, Greyryder!

Just a bit on the quiet side as we gear up for more!

Dean’s proofing “Steel Echoes” for Lulu and other sites.

Me, I’m working on the next comic’s script.  It’s being stubborn but so far I have several comic pages parsed out.

We hope to return to updates soon, if not in December then in January.  It’d be kind’ve nice to start out the new year with stories!

Anyhow, just letting folks know we’re okay, still creating, and will be updating again.

May you all have safe holidays and may the new year be kind to us all!

With pg 12′s upload, the story is finished.  It’ll be uploaded Tuesday instead of the usual Wednesday.

Thank you to those of you who read what I shared, thank you to those of you who commented.  It was very much appreciated.

I am working on the next story, but with the holidaze and such, there’s no telling when it’ll begin.

Take care, thank you again, and see you all later.

Here’s a bit of a head’s up about what’s going on with the comic.

Pg 12 is sketched, ready for inking.  This is the last page of the current comic story.

I’m going to take some time to get the next ready.  I have started the script already, it just needs more added to it.

I don’t know when I’ll start the next story.  I’m looking at December, if not a little sooner depending on how the script goes.

Thank you for reading and your patience.

Real Life(tm) caught up with Dean rather harshly this weekend and today.

Our apologies for no update Tuesday, but there will be one for Friday.

Thank you for your patience.
