As you may or may not know, JGT has been on hiatus due to me working on graduate school applications. For the past few months, I've been reading, writing personal statements and samples, and basically immersing myself in the literary arts.
Well, I am very excited to share that...I have received two letters of acceptance to Masters in Fine Arts (MFA) in Writing for Children programs. In the fall, I will be studying creative writing on the graduate level. And I am FREAKING OUT BIG TIME.
When I told Jocey the news, she graciously drew me this congratulatory picture:
Isn't it the best?! It's comic-us being all proud of one another. I love it so much. Thank you, Jocey!!
This is a dream I've been working toward for a long time. I still cannot believe I will be able to live it very soon. And I know that I wouldn't be in this position today if it weren't for JGT Comics.
Taking a break from the comic has been a huge sacrifice. With grad school now in the picture, chances are I won't have a lot of time to draw still, but school hasn't stopped me from telling this story before, and it's not going to stop me in the future.
Even if the pace will be slower, I am still going to draw JGT. And look...
...I've already started drawing again. And I couldn't be happier.
Thank you so much again, everyone, for sticking around and for letting me share my creative journey. I am excited to continue all of my stories, JGT included.
Until then,
Genie
