In my previous message, I probably should have said "I will make a post if it's NOT going to be Tuesday". That way it would be one less message in people's inboxes, but past me didn't think of that, so...
TUESDAY! 🎉
Thank you everyone for your patience and support. I really needed the break this past week.
2025-07-19 02:16:14 +0000 UTC View PostI'm not sure how long I'll need, but I feel it necessary to take a brief pause from EGSNP. I expect it will last the rest of this week at a minimum, the earliest likely return Tuesday the 22nd.
This is in part for writing reasons, I want to plan what comes next better, but also due to some outside stress.
I'm sorry for this pause. It's really not something I want to do, but I feel I need to do it. I will post here, and on the site, once I've decided anything.

We could NOT dance if you want to - https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder-065
What is this, the unsafety dance? I dunno, I just need nonsense to put here, and I apparently only know one song about dancing.
Seriously, arranged nonsense would probably be better for all concerned than this nonsense. Not necessarily BEST for all concerned, but we're speaking relatively.

Prince Elliot refusing to dance would've been quite the twist, I admit, but it's the sort of twist that would make people want to twist my neck, so I went with a breadstick direction over a pretzel.

I wasn't feeling well this past week. It was something that didn't prevent work, but it did slow it down significantly. I'm feeling better now, but that slow down has caught up with me, and I've decided to make the next EGSNP Thursday rather than rush it or stay up late.
