Wow. So much to do.
I'm not risking burnout or anything (yet), but I am having to hoard my time jealously now. And yesterday's plan of multiple, quick, punchy updates clearly did not work at all.
As it happens, three things commanded my attention today: a trip out apartment-hunting, a short-short Penny and Aggie sequence called "Omega Sisters," and a policy discussion on Graphic Smash.
The last bears talking about. I've strongly resisted letting features continue for long on Graphic Smash after they stop updating, whether that pause is due to a series finale or some interruption in the natural flow. I've felt it's wrong to give equal status to strips that are updating regularly and those that aren't. But two of Graphic Smash's most popular features are paused (The Guardians) or about to be sunsetted (um, Fans)... and readers are letting me know they miss the archives of no-longer-updating series. This policy may need modifying.
I'm still figuring out exactly what to do here, but I know that whatever it is has to serve the readers' best interests. Without readers, we don't have a business.
Tomorrow: dentist appointment and accounting assignment. Funfunfun! Kill me now.
