I just started my comic today and im very excited about it, (and also a bit nervous), life is good right now, i have a lot of free time (for now), so im trying to find something interesting to do.
Since we are sharing our comics here, here`s a link:
keep up the awesome work! i understand how frustrating it can be I think we all can but just keep in mind that we DO understand and if you need a break there is no shame in that I have three comics I'm working on and two uploaded one I'm still writing. Los Esmeraldas and GodTown and the Third is called Narcotics ...so when it gets too much I just try to relax and gather my thoughts and slow down... your sanity is most important 
my sleep schedule is bad and every damn day for the past few months my mom wakes me up before i get enough sleep in by barging into my room and loudly complaining so ive been perpetually exhausted 
This year has been very tough for me. I've been struggling with my health since January. I've been to the ER three times since then. I was told I had a stomach flu and it would clear up in a week at most but it never did. Seems like a much stronger intestinal infection that's really hard to get rid of. I had to drop my college classes and replace them with weekly trips to various doctors and clinics. My life has been talking to doctors, taking various tests, waiting on those test results, trying different drugs, supplements and diets to help my stomach.
My family has been very supportive of me and I'm only where I am now because of them. I'm working on trying to pick up the pieces of my life. I'm taking online classes this semester but it seems like I'm starting to respond to the physical therapy and antimicrobial supplements. Making comics with my sister has really taken my mind off of all this. It gives me an outlet which I really needed and gives us something fun we can do together.
Short of lately with the cons I've been breaking even...I did 4 shows last year & only 1 show this year(I was planning on 2 but bowed out on Anime Weekend Atlanta coz of the move). I'm trying to figure things out, coz I wanna get to a con and actually make a profit. Right now, getting the website going is a priority that I need to do, coz I feel like that may be one of the factors that is working against me garnering more readers(I have had tons of people ask for my website at cons).
I'm actually kind of stressing over my jazz band auditions, which is ironic since that is a scene in my comic... 
Lol, strangers don’t care about other strangers, this is 2017.
Jk! (sorta)
My default response is “good”, but since you asked I may as well vent a bit.
Don't read this, it's just needless drama.
Things have been a bit stressful to be honest. I was going to go parttime at my job to go to school for a job that isn’t depressing since I lack the morale to do both, but my mom got laid off while on medical leave so I have to stay. I'm now the only income in the house, and barely make enough to pay bills let alone feed us and my cats. Recently some idiot broke into my jeep to steal shit and I can't afford to fix the damages, my mom has been crying every day and venting her distress about being laid off, making life at home stressful. I learned being an introvert and empath is the worst thing in existence, not only do you get tired from people, you get tired from the emotional vibes they’re giving off. What sucks is I need to be super grateful for just having a job, I need to stop hating it which makes me more depressed.
I feel like I’m going down the same path as my mom, never going to school and working a job you hate to the point of it affecting your health for the rest of your life. I know I’m only in my late 20’s, but I’m one of those types who lose all motivation to do things if I don’t do them within my small window of motivation. I feel like I'm going through a mid-life crisis.
Outside of small outings with my mom I haven’t done anything fun in years. I wanna drive cross-country to all the cool cons everyone talks about, but it’s no fun when you have no friends. Friends are hard to get, my personality sucks too much. I wanna go to the zoo in San Diego, man! I wanna go exploring in the mountains! I wanna do all the things, but I'm trapped between work and home.
I think I I’m overwhelmed because I’ve felt particularly deadened lately. My mom’s dog went into my room to piss, and I felt nothing when catching it in the act, which I think is alarming? I mean, I’m kinda dead anyway, but usually I get mad when that happens?
My comic is good though… I mean, not quality-wise, but it’s my oasis in a vast desert of disappointment. I love working on it, the comic relieves my literal migraines. Drawing is like therapy.
can i see your webcomic ?
Nah, it’s not really that interesting. The visuals have a lot of mistakes, and the story is super slow.
Wew, that got a bit off my chest.
WELL you may not feel like anyone cares but that's what this post Is for. At least one person in this miserable little world cares. and hopefully things will get better for you soon it can't rain all the time.
This past month has had a lot of ups and downs. My migraines have been less frequent, so I'm not relying on my medication as much. The medication I'm on for depression seems to be helping a bit. Yesterday wasn't too great because my tablet pen stopped working (but I had a backup plan so not a huge issue) and I also somehow managed to bend my glasses while cleaning them.
I'll be starting college in two weeks, at a different campus with all different people. Pretty anxious about that!
I'm a bit behind on my comic due to the tablet thing, but here it is 
EW, YOU CREEP! I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU, AT LEAST GET ME A DRINK BEFORE YOU START CARING ABOUT ME!
Just kidding for real!
Wow, I'm surprised. People usually get all weird when 'depression' is mentioned, maybe that only happens with the mention of "self-induced death" now. It's hard to keep up with the trends.
Thank you! I'm skeptical of any and all good things that come to fruition, but it would be nice to get a break.
Haha this is adorable 
My friends normally do a wellness check on me since sometimes I go MIA.
Im doing...almost alright? My best friend is currently in the hospital because of his narcolepsy and they think he has Sleeping Beauty Syndrome. He's going to be in there for a while, 2-3 weeks and tbh Im worried. He's states away from me and I cant be there for him. I mean he's safe, with family but Im still tense over here, waiting for him to get back online to tell me whats going on so that we can come to a plan about things. If it'll affect him to draw because he does comics or anything else that'll hinder his life.
Other than that, I start back in college next week and not looking forward to it XD It requires me to be their Mon-Fri because I also work at the college.
I am doing just fine! A bit busy with the whole interactive novel thing but im still doing pretty good. Thank you for making a topic like this ^^ Its so beautiful to see people checking up on other people. This world is too sad with people only being concerned with themselves and not the people around them.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well and if you're not, I hope things will get better <3
Here's my novel btw to add to the pile!
I am in an incredible panic trying to juggle everything in my life. I feel like I need to create more but I tend to procrastinate a lot and I REALLY need to stop that and I need to boost overall effort with comics...I really just want to have some peace of mind knowing I won't wake up to utter abominations that the neighbors raise as "Children".
I hope all of you who are suffering with worse or anything in general can get better too.
Either way, here's my stuff;
Recently I am kinda frustrated. I have a new job, but I feel I'm too far from the level it needs. I just can't find the thing I want to and be able to do in the same time. I only love creating. Tell my stories by my comics and novels although I am not enough good in them to be able to live from them. (Most of us suffers from this, right?) When I tell people that I draw comics they usualy ask "Why don't you try to get money from it?" But I can't really explain them that I am far from that level. XD
But they are right in a way. So recently I just think about how to get some extra from my comics. I came back to Tapastic to work on it. But I really need to work hard because I haven't got so much pages left from my comics I can upload, plus meanwhile I need to work on a oneshot I promised to do from the story a reader of mine wrote. So... thats all I guess. ^^' By the way, you can find my comics here:
Hey all,
Lately things have been fine but I'm just anxious about my writing. Like I'm worried I'm not writing enough and what if the collaborations fall through.. I mean every other one has.
And I just don't feel like I'm doing enough and I'm just so tired ><
O and this is what I'm writing now (well this and collabs that aren't up yet)
