Hey everyone Glim Glam/hareunder here!
This is gonna be a long thread about plans for the future.

So I’m sure you can all tell Uncover the Truth is pretty much almost over. The plan is to finish it up by November and have it all posted by early December. This has been a wild 3 years. Ashamed this took me 3 years instead of the initially planned 2 years. I learned a lot from the countless challenges I faced these past years and I have to thank you all for sticking through all this with me. I never thought I’d ever be writing things people care about since my journey began back in high school. After my parents squandered and belittled my dream, I could only waste my time trying to find my place in life. If it weren’t for my girlfriend bringing joy and imagination back into my life I would have never tried to write my first comic Summer Tides and I would have never met the amazing artist  apinkgrape later that year.

Of course all this was happening while I was hastily moving out of my parents place during covid. Being overly ambitious and underprepared lead to growing, underlying problems. Right as I planned to start Uncover the Truth I lost my job while already in a bad place financially. I should have tried to recover fully before continuing, but I never wanted to keep anyone waiting. I was constantly hopping from one underpaying job to another, trying my best to stay afloat and keep the dream going. My multiple sclerosis was also getting worse at the time thus both making it harder to work and increasing my medical fees. This kept me in a really bad spot till 2025, as every time I got close to recovering I would lose another job. Sometimes, we slowed down to one page a month to try and keep expenses down. Though around September 2024 the worst happened. While looking for another job, my cat Charlie became really sick, refusing to eat and having low blood pressure. This zeroed out my funds in desperation to try and save him. My friends convinced me to make a gofundme and break my stubborn aversion to asking for help. Thank you to everyone who donated and spread the word. Because of you, we were able to save my cat Charlie and he’s now healthier than ever! Right after that, I scored my amazing current job that has been helping me recover faster than ever. Looking back, I can’t thank all of you enough for motivating and helping me through this rough past few years.

Now, it's time to talk about what's next.

So with the comic ending in November, it's time for me to finally fully recover. Things won’t stop entirely. Just expect less monthly posts from me. During this time, I’ll be getting things prepared for the next chapter of Glamor to Bare, as well as redoing and adding pages to Uncover the Truth for an eventual physical printing.

Back when I started comic writing in 2021 I was writing pages monthly and reviewing them while at work in a hurry. Honestly, this process was extremely sloppy and I want to make sure that never happens again. Up until page 54 of Uncover the Truth, I was writing monthly instead of having a full planned script. The haste from reviewing while working led to several mistakes going over my head. I eventually just wrote the remaining script in one night and alleviated all the stress. This made monthly planning for content and quality control a lot easier on me. I want to keep this going forward. So during this break, I plan to write the entire script for chapter 2 before starting, leaving me room to focus on future chapters and side content.
Lets not forget that this lets me also upgrade the comics shading to have more detail. No longer will we be stuck with flat-shaded Stephanie.

Hope to see you all again in my next post! Stay Glamorous!
