How often do your release your webcomic?

[joannekwan]

Once a week for all three of my series with Demon House on Wednesdays, Heavy Horns on Sundays, and Erie Waters on Mondays.

I update mine (The Tower) every friday around 12. I kinda wanna do two a week, but i think that'd be too much pressure on me, especially around the holiday season while working retail :T I may do it eventually, but I'd like to have a hearty backstock of finished/planned comics before I go and do that.

daily, with a 'chapter title page' 1 day break between chapters!

but this is only possible because i worked for years in solitude on it before releasing, i'm not a magician (i have 19 pages left to color then i am DONE)

Whenever I can, which, unfortunately, isn't very often.

Back when I began the West I was posting one or two pages a week, now I'm lucky to get out two pages a month. I didn't have a job then, having just moved to new village, and now my job/personal life is so demanding that I have no time at all. I don't have a particular day I post on, either, but as many of my days off are Tuesdays it often ends up being that evening, provided everyone leaves me alone.

As I said, I'm now back to sleeping healthy hours again, but it's a struggle - sleeping less has been my way of coping with stress (more hours awake = more hours to work), and I still do get stressed.

It's very easy to slip into this mentality-- feeling responsible for every little delay and beating yourself up about it. Hard not to care, isn't it? Glad you're in a good frame of mind about it now. That must have taken some serious work, and I'm sure it's not always so black and white, especially on those weird days where you want to hurl the whole thing out the window.

For me there is no question-- West is just a personal project that I do not bring up in sensible conversation. It's easy to justify pauses, delays, and disappointments when you believe you're doing the responsible thing. Gotta wonder what would happen if you stopped doing what was expected of you and started doing what you wanted, instead, though. People here have started to make me think it's actually possible too.

Final Light is updated every week, normally Saturday at least 1 page, or if I'm fine with the work, 2-3 pages.

You are so a magician, look at all that work! Brilliant (serious respect to your colouring style, too, I love it).

I updated my series daily for a week and now I'll be doing Monday and Friday updates with occasional mini-sketch comics in between. I have a teeny 10 page buffer right now, I'm still trying to get a handle on a decent work schedule. A lot of you guys have awesome schedules. So much work ethic, it's really inspiring. Keep going, keep going, you guys are making rad stories!

Another family member went through a real psychological crisis - like, emergency visits to the psych-ward kind of crisis - and that made me take a step back and analyze my own behaviour and realised that this was a pattern I'd gotten stuck in. I was using the lack of sleep as a very, VERY mild form of self-harm. It was easy to get stuck in this particular pattern for me, since my anxieties hit the hardest just as I try to fall asleep.

I broke out of it, but it still creeps up on me sometimes. However, now that I'm aware of it, I recognise it for what it is, and can tell myself to stop it and go to sleep properly. Or counter whatever other dumb behavioral patterns I get stuck in - like not taking breaks, or skipping doing fun, relaxing stuff just so I can draw instead.

Anxiety and stress are insidious things, and can be hard to fight. I can only do my best, and ask for help when I fail. : )

Yup, once a week for me as well. All I have time for.

Aah New Comic Book Day <3 I hope one day I'll be able to celebrate stuff like this when I live in a country that has proper comic book stores! I just had my first experience with a comic book store in Burbank, and the atmosphere was delightfully friendly =D

For updating schedule, I update Tales from the Well once a week every Friday. Feels like a good break from the weekdays and a good opening into the weekend! I wanted to go for a twice a week update schedule, but once a week is much healthier for my buffer and sanity.

[Mharz]

I update The Angel with Black Wings every Mondays and Fridays. I drew the entire first volume before I posted it online back in March so that I can have a good buffer but now these buffers are slowly thinning down...

[niinasalmelin]

I update new page on Numb every week, currently it's tuesday but I'm feeling tempted to try out this wednesday tradition I hope I'd be able to update two times a week in the future.

[Tentakustar]

I pretty much do once a week also! but i've been trying to at least do 2 times a week. for both my comics, I'm trying to update a buffer of at least a good amount of pages so I wouldn't have to worry about updating on the day of all the time. not only that it just feels really good having a buffer haha! it makes it a little less stressful updating pages!

Slow & Quicky and Disfigurative Meaning once a week
3 days for Scarlet Black and 2 days for Rearth

it's "everyday updates" for me

[saari]

Currently I update Two Hearts once a week. I'm planning to upgrade it to two times a week thing at some point but as for now I'm buried under a huge pile of things to do <^^'> But hopefully one day it will all be done..... <^^'>
