It seems like a number of my readers have missed the notice I posted in my comments for the latest update (page 430).

I figure I might as well re-post that notice here, as a separate journal entry.

So, then, here it is:
"I'm afraid the planned mid-season break begins now. This was inevitable, as my buffer of finished pages was starting to grow dangerously thin. So I'm going to use this break to rebuild that buffer. This could take anywhere between three or six months; I want to have at least 50 finished pages ready before resuming publication. So, yeah, I guess I'll see you guys later!"

By the way, things are going fine. I'm making progress at a nice steady pace, but I'm still months away from reaching my fifty-page goal. We'll get there eventually, I promise! ^_^
