Excuses and Apologies

So this month has been a disaster. Neither C6 nor Collared6 have anything worth showing yet, and not from a lack of trying. I was still hoping to get at least one page of Ced6 up before the end of the month since, ya know. A lot of you signed on *just for it*. To anyone who *did* sign up just for that this month, shoot me an email at CollarSixx@gmail.com, PM me here, or even leave a comment in this thread with your email and I'll send said Ced6 page directly to you when it's ready. Hopefully it'll finally be done in the week ahead.

Now for the excuses portion of this... excuse post. January started out rough and got worse. My mother has been sick, in the hospital and is now back home with a feeding tube in her side. She's currently at 73 pounds and struggling to gain weight. She's been sick my entire life, so I'm not unaccustomed to her being in struggling health, but I've never seen her this rough. She's in her 70s, which is much longer than we expected her to make it and I've been grateful for every year we've been granted. There's a lot more I want to say about her here, but this isn't the format. Suffice to say, it's been at the forefront of my thoughts and making it difficult to focus on writing and drawing.

The other surprise disruptive factor has been the onset of severe partial complex seizures (focal seizures) that began this past week. As some of you from Discord know, I am epileptic, and the anti-depressants I take for my 'major depressive disorder' (sertraline/zoloft) triggers and worsens the epilepsy. Which hasn't been a problem since doc put me on carbamazepine to counteract the effects of said zoloft. Unfortunately they chose this week to stop being affective and I've been bombarded with some of the most intense seizures I've ever experienced in the two-and-a-half decade of my having them. While they only last a few minutes, the exhaustion and weird 'vacancy' I experience afterwards leaves me pretty exhausted and out of sorts for hours afterwards. TLDL: Shit sucks.

I'm not telling anyone this for pity, sympathy or even to excuse myself. I had a job, I didn't get it done. I'm sorry. I felt the least I can do is offer an explanation.

As I said earlier in post, anyone who subbed just for Ced6 and who can't or won't stay subbed for February, PM me here, email me at CollarSixx@gmail.com or even find me on Discord (I'm Fiona) and I'll directly send you the Ced6 strip that was *supposed* to be up in January that y'all paid me your hard-earned money for. My Discord link is as follows:

And now back to sucking down coffee and wasting countless sheets of paper and micron pens in an attempt to finish either of the pages I'm working on. Wish me luck. And my sincerest thanks to those of you who bother sticking around after another major failure on my end. I'm trying.
