Bardsworth

As many of you know, my family’s home life is usually in a state of constant flux. With both myself and Katie being creative people, our job situations tend to change often, and then when outside forces enter into the equation, it’s chaos. And it has been chaos since December when Katie lost a really good job. Since then we’ve been surviving, but barely. In order to try to catch up and get ourselves out of a little bit of debt, I’ve taken on a part time job in the evenings.

So why am I telling you all of this? Because it will definitely affect Bardsworth. As of my return in September (the exact date of which is still to be determined), updates will no longer be on a set schedule. Currently, I’ve been posting on Thursdays every week, but I can’t promise that anymore. So the updates will, to be blunt, be done when they’re done.

But because of the miracle of social media, it should be easy to be alerted when the newest page is posted. If you aren’t following me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, make sure you connect. I even post on Tumblr (but I don’t think anyone really uses that anymore). If there is enough demand, I can even do an email list and send the page directly to you, but I’m not going to set that up if only a few of you want that. So let me know.

I am sorry about this. It sucks for me as much as it does for you (probably more so). But I’m going to try my hardest to keep bringing you quality pages and to keep the story moving as quickly as I can.

Patrons – there will be a similar but separate message for you over at Patreon.

July 27th will be my last update until September.  I came to this decision a while back for several reasons…

1.)  It’s no secret that my life has been crazy of late, and that this has affected my update schedule on a regular basis.  Things will only continue to be crazy throughout August, so it made sense to back off of the comic for a bit.

2.)  I would like to use a chunk of time to work on the third Bardsworth book, and it seemed like a good idea that since I’m taking time off of the comic itself, I should use some of that time to hack away at the book.

3.)  I’m going on a very, very, very much needed week-long vacation at the end of August and I didn’t want to stress myself out by trying to be on deadline while also trying to enjoy my time with my family.

Those of you who are patrons will still get updates of sorts.  I will be posting the colored pages for the third book, as well as any new updates that I can get around to doing.  This is, of course, in addition to regular Patreon rewards.

It’s been a while since I took a long hiatus like this, but I figure most people are pretty busy in the summer time, so it shouldn’t be that bad. If you really miss me, drop me a line. I’m always willing to chat with my loyal readers. Otherwise, I’ll see you in September!

I’m behind on a few bonus updates, but I managed to slip this one in under the gun for you!  Working hard to get more out for you, I promise!
