Let's Hope for Better And More In 2024

Sorry I have been MIA... A lot going on but I still want to keep this blog going.

First, still dealing with house issues: insects, cracks, and my mother had to terminate at least two contracts, one dealing with clearing out the vents. 

Had to give up my web host as their costs became even more expensive. 

Next, still trying to working from home as my health has gotten even more unpredictable. 

Because of my 2022 medical emergency, I had to put off things to set up for my freelancing. 

That meant putting off watching virtual and online classes to teach myself new art software and illustrator applications - I couldn't sit up for long periods and I stopped sleeping in my bedroom.

After all this, I needed to change my health insurance.

I also couldn't set up a new website. Plus, I was still debating which hosting companies to use.

I also ended up getting stiffed by a webhost company that did not even have the common decency to have their call times and days on their website, the host never even answered my question about logging in.

I went off on them in an email and they had the nerve to send me the WHOIS registry rules (which I already know as my previous website was 15 years online!) and nothing else! 

I will be dissing them online. 

Now here are some good news: SUMMER TO WINTER the webcomic is now official on my old Tumblr account! I created a secondary blog to host the webcomic. Soon, when I have my website, I might migrate it.

Summer to Winter is also on ComicFury, a longstanding webcomic hosting cooperative I learned about on YouTube

It is also on GlobalComix, a comic platform that showcases independent comics, small publisher, large publisher, and self-published comics! They also have a YouTube channel and offer workshops as well as podcasts and articles about their company and the comic industry. 

So, my webcomic is in good hands!

I will be uploading an episode per month. Sorry, this is my speed for now. Who knows how much faster or slower I will be in the future?

Summer to Winter already has five episodes up and an upcoming special for the March month!

See you in the next post, Dear Readers!

Message to my dear readers

[PART 1]
As you may know, I LOVE #webcomics! Here's a thread on recommendations! These are FREE to READ & the CREATORS are PAID by the platform's ads! I'll give taglines & thoughts about why it's good! Ok, let's get started! 1/17

1)Socializing 101 by Relseiy
Romance | Drama 
My thoughts: College students navigating social lives with a host of mental/emotional issues. This series may be triggering to those struggling through social anxiety &/or have been bullied.
2/6

2)*Personal fave!*Miss Abbott and the Doctor by Maripaz Villar
Romance
My thoughts: Think Anne of Green Gables, Pippi Longstocking, & Madeline cloned a baby! Though it says 'Romance', I think it's also a 'Historical comedy'. Diverse & multicultural. Always wacky.
3/6

3)*Personal fave!*Small World by Wonsun Jin
Slice of life
My thoughts: A lgbtqa+ sitcom about a wacky couple & their mini-adventures. Adorable & laugh-out-loud. 
4/6

4)*Personal fave!*Crumbs by Whitherling 
Romance 
My thoughts: A fantasy drama in a world where magic exists & one can be trained in school & take state-run exams. Wholesome & luminous series. 
5/6

5)*Personal fave!*My Dictator Boyfriend by Teo|Guy
Comedy
My thoughts: Another lgbtqa+ wacky series that takes place in a fictional nation run by a newly-minted dictator in a relationship with his bodyguard. Geo-political hijinks mixed with lgbtq+ rights, caustic humor/satire. Diverse & multicultural. 
6/END 

6)Brass & Sass by Antlerella 
Romance 
My thoughts: The high school drama series I would've watched back in the 80s. But since it's Canadian, if it were a TV drama, CBC would do a better live-action than Hollywood. Diverse, multicultural, & aware of different sexual orientations. For the band-nerd in all of us. 

7)My Gentle Giant by Myssdark and EAB (Lovaboy Comics) 
Slice of life | Heart-warming 
My thoughts: High school drama meets Boys Love. Very tightly controlled POVs and still enjoyable.

8)BUUZA!! by Shazleen Khan
Drama | Slice of life 
Urban fantasy set in a 90s middle east and central asia 
My thoughts: I can't explain how underrated this series is. With the right crew and cast, it would make a compelling TV series.

9)*Personal fave!*Heir's Game by suspu 
Drama
My thoughts: Historical drama in a fictional world. Noble court intrigue. Time period resembles 1840s. Gay/Queer fully-realized characters. Sumptuous. Everyone is gorgeous. Incredibly bloody but not gratuitous. Ethnically and body-type diverse. 

11)*Personal fave*Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe 
Romance
My thoughts: The Greek Gods, demigods, and their minions in a 21st century setting. The story of Hades Kidnapping Persephone never looked so drama/soap opera/novela-like! This is nobody's grandparents' Greek myth! 50s/60s brightly-colored animation style with 21st century flair.

12)Edith by Swansgarden
Romance
My thoughts: Drama, drama, drama! Soapy of soaps. Inner monologues are on point. Shows a peek into the world of publishing & fashion design. Watch your back!

13)Sunny Side Skies by soaporsalad
Comedy | Slice of life
My thoughts: Updates are a bit slow but feels like a Sunday Comic Strip. It's adorable and h

14)Age Matters by Enjelicious 
Romance
My thoughts: I think it takes place in China/Taiwan but feels SO MUCH like a Korean drama series...

15)Just For Kicks by Josie Fox 
Slice of life
My thoughts: 

16)Midnight Poppy Land by Lilydusk
Romance
This gangster/crime drama/romance eerily reminds me of my own anthro/furry dog mafia story but that's ok, because, anything with organized crime is my jam.

17)Dylan and Angeline by oroor0
Romance | Slice of life
A trans boy and his crush is a cis girl. Hispanic/Latin family culture. Characters are precious. The diverse cast is adorable. Typical teenage drama with slow-burn infatuation thrown in. I can't wait for the next update as it ended on a cliffhanger in the public library.

My 2 cents

Though I voted early and I'm encouraging others to do the same, but when a friend responded that she also voted early, she could not und...
