• Not sure if any of y’all noticed, but for some strange reason the page navigation was wonky. As in some pages linked to others and some didn’t. I still don’t know what caused this in the first place, but I managed to fix that problem. Thank you, TruelyMe and Lena, for letting me know of this!! If anyone has any problems with the site or anything, definitely let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
• I have set up a Patreon roughly…a week or two ago: http://www.patreon.com/moniquecomics. So if you’d like me to keep making these pages, and be able to keep up with payments for this website, please consider donating!
• Starting with chapter 3, this comic will either update once or twice a week rather than three times a week. (Twice on Friday and Saturday is more likely.) I like the buffer I have between updates and making pages, so I want to keep that up. But at the same time, keep moving. There are no changes to the schedule chapter 2 is on, so you can rest easy on that.

PROGRESS UPDATE:

• As for where I’m at now, I am about to begin drawing chapter 5. All of the files with typed dialogue and thumbnails have been set up, so all I need to do is just do it.
• I recently ordered some memo books (by Field Notes) and I did so much setting updating yesterday. No, I didn’t go into drawing this without a setting hammered down because I definitely did. It just needed a heavy update. And it just feels easier to do with a small memo book than anything else (3.5″ x 5.5″, by the way). And I haven’t had a fresh one in years, so it feels quite revitalizing. That probably sounds weird because “Pfft, why would a memo book do that to you?” I’m…easy to please like that. (Why does that sound familiar?)
• If you want a pen recommendation for said memo (this does matter), the LePen Technical Drawing Pen is glorious. I’m using the size .03 for the first time in my life and I can’t get enough of it. It’s weird how new supplies give you a fresh injection of motivation. (F-for me, it does…)

Also I will update the character page after chapter 2 with the characters that debuted in said chapter. So if you’re wondering about that, don’t worry: I got this.

Hurray! We’re at chapter 2! The schedule will remain the same at the crazy “Wednesday through Saturday / four times a week“. Why? I mean…why not?

Anyways, I finally made the character section with the ones that appeared so far. I’ll add the next ones as they appear. Also the about section looks a bit better. As for the extra section, I’ll wait until I finish chapter 5, which also means until I finish volume 1. I am aiming to finish said volume before May 12th, the 8th anniversary of Glass Hearts.

And yes: I plan to make physical copies of said volume. I also plan to go to conventions in the spring / summer, with the hopes of getting a table (and of course, selling fan art prints along with volume 1). If not, I’ll at least be walking around with business cards and postcards. Cross your fingers for me, everyone!

As for individual chapters getting physical copies: that’s something I never wanted to do in the first place. But I wanted to try another self publishing service, and it was for my college thesis gallery showing. I was planning on doing this for chapter 2 and I even did two test prints: but nope, decided to just focus on volume one. It’s going to have some content that won’t be online AND it’s a freaking physical book: who doesn’t want a freaking physical book?

So yeah! Bear with me and my excitement, and impatience as I work on this comic! Comments are always appreciated! And thank you for reading!
