And that new thing is Nomashora (fav.me/d8lrnqf). Because it relies on HTML and Javascript technologies to tell its story, I won’t be posting it on deviantART proper, but I will definitely be announcing updates here nevertheless!

Nomashora will normally update on Monday (but I’m posting the first update today instead of tomorrow because it’s Creative Release’s 3rd birthday).

If you wanna access the first update directly, please visit beckyverse.com/nomashora/u1.

Cheers everyone!

Still Alive

1 min read
Hello there!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I've (finally!) resumed production of Creative Release. Currently working on the draft for Turn 021, and simultaneously working on a website for Creative Release and my blogging needs (because it's about time, by now). I'm not sure when exactly publication will resume, but I think I can say "sometime this summer" and get away with it. Stay tuned for more information!

Also, I'll be publishing the contest's results simultaneously to Turn 021's (new) first page. Apologies for the wait, these last few months were both exhausting and angsty, but I'm feeling better now!

Aaand that's pretty much it for now.
Cheers!

(Wow that new Journal interface do I get it because I'm a beta tester or is it public already? Either way it's looking good, much better than it used to.)

I'm starting to feel better than I've had thorough the last four weeks (which were, to sum things up in as few words as possible, a hellish succession of absolute despair, mild euphoria and plain apathy). Saturday, I drew for the first time in a very long while, and it felt great. I'm also going to get psychiatric support, so things are definitely starting to look a little brighter.

Also, yesterday I rushed Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!. I can't say much about the plot because I don't want to spoil it, but I will say this: this anime felt like a huge wake-up slap for me (and is probably part of the reason why I managed to jolt myself into writing this this morning rather than stay silent one more day). These twelve episodes made me realize an insane amount of things I'd never suspected about myself, and for that reason alone I think I can safely place it in the pantheon of the works that made me want to change myself, right next to Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and Neon Genesis Evangelion. So yeah.

I haven't resumed production for Creative Release yet, but I'm getting there. I stormed up a few new ideas over the last week, and when I talked about them with some of my beta readers they seemed very enthusiastic. Now I only need to rebuild my production rhythm and a buffer, and publication can resume. I hope to have something up by the end of April.

Sorry about my silence over the last few weeks. I still read every single comment I receive, but lately I've been in too bad a state to formulate a coherent response (that's apparently starting to fade away so I might start answering stuff in the near future).

Thanks for your continued support. I'm looking forward to what's coming next!

Cheers,
Rebecca Kalista Scalese

Or something. Either way, even though I have drafted up to 021-7 (five more pages), I'm experiencing extreme difficulties actually getting to work. It's kinda unnerving and daily life certainly isn't helping me focus on my work more (not going to elaborate much on that, but basically, cloudy times).

Anyway!

I apologize for being late with the updates and the contest's results.

I am fully aware that many of you don't think I absolutely owe you to update on time all the time, but one of my personal goals for this year is to learn to manage my time better (and that includes establishing stable update schedules for Creative Release). Because even though you can probably live with random updates, I don't think I can afford to work that way if I actually want to eventually build a consistent audience.

So... Well, next update whenever I manage to finish 021-3. I honestly don't know how much time it'll take me (it's not a matter of difficulty, rather, a matter of gathering the energy to be productive again).

One thing I do know is I am definitely not dropping the project, so no need to worry about that.

Cheers,
RKS
