A month or two ago, I was expecting December to be on the more relaxing side. But what&#8217;s tended to happen every year now, is it inevitably becomes filled up with various events as the year draws to a close. I&#8217;m hoping I can still finish the progress on the personal projects I wanted to do &#8211; which is mainly the page updates for The Harbinger&#8217;s Path comic.<\/p>\n<p>I was out of town for about a week in November, and I was originally sightly concerned I&#8217;d have to put the comic updates on a hiatus for about 3 updates&#8217; worth. I learned I&#8217;d be heading out of town a little on the later side, and I scrambled to finish about 3 pages a week earlier than I had originally scheduled. These were pages 15 &#8211; 17.<\/p>\n<p>Once I learned of this trip, I drafted a schedule for how much time I had and how many pages I&#8217;d have to finish to be able to still continue with page updates while out of town. I was leaning toward announcing a hiatus for that week\/those pages, but to my surprise, I was able to finish the pages early. This makes me think I&#8217;m probably too lenient on myself when it comes to project management for my personal projects when I haven&#8217;t hard deadlines, haha.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, with all the new events that are now planned for December (mostly holiday-related irl ones), I am hoping I will be able to still keep my intended schedule for this chapter&#8217;s updates. But December has a good deal more going on than November did &#8211; which isn&#8217;t surprising, and something I should have anticipated earlier than now. I am slightly wary that I might have to actually do a small hiatus this month. It&#8217;s still too early to say, but I don&#8217;t want the quality of the pages to suffer if time truly becomes an issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edit: A few more versions:&nbsp; I&#8217;m not sure if I prefer the earlier version to these.
