Balance and Love...

Ello, everyone! Genie here. Long time no...blog?

The next JGT page is coming...it just got pushed aside for a bit. And not in a bad way, more or less, but still, it feels weird to be slower and slower at JGT updates.

The main reason why I haven't been drawing comics as much is that...I've been doing a LOT of reading and writing, which I also love dearly.

And...I have a bit of good news! I've recently finished the first draft of my first middle grade novel :) I have mentioned it before on this site (NaNoWriMo, anyone?). I still have to dedicate many more hours of edits and rewrites, and I'm preparing myself for that. For right now, though, I am just so happy that it's alive, in some form, because I've been wanting to tell this story for a long time.

But even though I'm working on other creative projects, I want you all to know that I am NOT giving up on JGT. The updates may just come in at a slower pace. I still feel bad about that, but I will try my best to balance all my projects out, so that I can make each one the right way: with love.

And, for you guys, here is a visual of how I'm currently feeling about all this XD


So, I'm still drawing. I'm still writing. I feel like I need to do both in order to feel like myself. And I will continue to do so.

And if any of you are going through this balancing conflict as well, please know that you are not alone, that you have the power to create whatever your heart desires, and that I believe in you and the love you put into your own stories :)

Here's to us and our loves!

Until then,

Genie

A Wonderful Present

Ello, everyone! Genie here...with a cold.

Yeah, not fun. The next comic page is in progress, though, so no worries!

Also, thank you, Jocey, for your awesome New Year's Eve picture! You captured the characters perfectly, and I loved how nostalgic it was, too ;)

Speaking of wonderful pictures, here's one done by my brother, Marco! It was his Christmas present to me...


That's my family and me in the back row. And that's my JGT family everywhere else! It's so epic; I love it so much. Thanks a bunch, bro!!

I hope you are all doing well! And may the beginning of your year also be filled with love and creativity!

Until then,

Genie
