I took a month long vacation with my closest friends and I feel revitalized. Ready to get creative and work cons, work on my comic and roll into classwork. I'm ALIVE again!!! I'm free of the burnout for a while! 🔥❤️

There's been so many scenes I've had to delay/drop because of the flow of Brothers (My Webcomic.) Many were ideas I loved, but the time wasn't right to do them. Every chapter ends up being too long haha. But that's ok. I've found even better ideas along the way!

Keezy Young🌼 @keezyyoung.bsky.social · Jul 23

it's important to know when to "kill your darlings" (i.e. get rid of favorite stuff that isn't working for the story) but it's also just as valid to write the story AROUND your darlings and see what comes out of that. you're still gonna have to let stuff go! but interesting things can happen

There's an amazing community of artists, that's supporting each other through this. Brainrotting together doesn't fix things, but it sure as hell makes it more bearable.❤️ Sending Hugs.

You're not alone. Throwing myself into a personal project in the meantime has helped a lot. it's still hard but it's manageable now.

Thank you for reading!
It was a really tough chapter to get through due to life stuff, but we made it! Brothers is going on a nice long hiatus, while I prepare the next chapter for you all. I don't have an exact Return date yet, but it will return before the end of the year!✉️🦋
