Way too late, but still 2020 local time. We finally finish the official story of this volume. 2020 has been hard on many of us, for me as well, though for other reasons than the pandemic (which made my dayjob that much harder as well). I’ve lost a beloved person recently, which is the main-reason, why I lost much drive outside the activities that put food into my mouth, and the problems with my dominant arm (and especially the hand) also grow more bothersome again (as some of you may remember, I started to have neural pains July 2019, and since then, it becomes better, no, I need a surgery, no, it was something entirely different so maybe that therapy, no, we… we don’t know?). I’m trying to get a proper look at it, but again the pandamic strikes and I had to look for a new neurologist, and I may get an appointment in March. Precious…
You may understand, that this also puts some chinks in my motivation and ability to write, and I still working on the Extras and volume 8 (which gets a back-seat though). So I will certainly need to take things more slowly in the next year, and I don’t know how to deal with the Extras, especially for the non-canonical one, as I want to do something funny, but laughing becomes harder and harder… >.<
Nonetheless, Happy New Year, enjoy it, you didn’t get a refund of 2020, you won’t get one on 2021, and I will continue to curse the pandemic, as this cool thing I wanted to call Korona (based on the sun event, planned it for years) may need to get a new name… Well, let’s cross that bridge when that comes. ;_;
