Errant Apprentice Back in June #25
Synopsis
It's been, well, rough. Things are feeling better. Let's call this the official announcement of the return.Hey guys. Sorry for the abrupt stop there with the story. We've had a lot going on at the house including the Snowpocalypse that left us with no power. Now I'm having to take a longer break but for good reason. I'm currently enrolled in the Intensive Outpatient Program at Imagine Behavioral Health in an attempt to get myself into some kind of better head space and stop some of my less healthy habits.It's a ten week program which keeps me busy from 10am till time to go to work which means I'm wrapped up from 10 to 10 most days. I'm not going to have time to work on anything. :/Sorry about this. I was gearing up to make a run for the end of the series. That's still my plan, but it looks like that run isn't starting till May. I hope you'll be patient with me here but I understand if you can't. Thanks again and I'll see you in May.Hey guys! So I've had a lot going on as usual. Mental health and lots of hours at work this holiday season. I hope you've all been well. I'll be jumping back into Errant Apprentice on January 4th and working on buffer some more tomorrow. Stay safe!Shortly after finishing page 5 of issue 28 I hit a major problem. For the last twenty years it's been like there was a little TV in my head and it was just constantly playing and replaying these stories. All I had to do is draw screenshots and then add dialogue. It worked for comics, prose, even my one off drawings. It had become just how things worked.Two weeks ago someone or something turned the television off. Since then I haven't been able to draw. It's felt like a hand reached inside my mind and pulled out whatever antennae I used to channel creativity and since then, nothing. I've tried forcing it, I've tried waiting and all for nothing.I've never been more frightened and lost in my life. Since April of 2000 I've aimed myself at trying to be the best storyteller I can and now that I've lost that foundation I have no idea what I'm doing any more.I want it back. I want to create. Until that spark or engine or whatever it is comes back though, I'm dead in the water here. I don't know how long this break will last guys. I hope not long. I hope that within a month I've found creativity again and I can at least finish EA.I am so, so sorry about this. I feel like I've let all of you down. I know I've let myself down. I'll be back as soon as I can.I'll miss you.-KevHey guys. I know the updates have been few and far between. Let's start with the obvious. I'm in a funk. Usually happens during the holidays.Second, my job is great but it's been really tiring and stressful.Third, I just need time off without having to worry about not getting pages done. So I'll be back after the holidays with pages to read and a new book to sell. See you then.-Kevin
