SS7 78 A Sense of Loss
skyangel on Nov. 9, 2020
That's the end of Sarah and Janey for now as we move back onto the Lenore story for a couple of pages.
Good news is that my anthology pages are completed but I haven't heard anything from the Duck regarding the set milestones since the first ‘You’re in!' email so I'm thinking the project has faltered somewhere along the line! But if it's fallen through it'll mean I can share the story with you guys as some kind of Christmas treat instead! :)
Fred mentioned last week about drawing faces and I replied how I find myself relating to the emotions I'm drawing. I get that with writing too, probably more so because you are living in that moment for the whole time you keep reading and rewriting that scene and it can feel so intensely emotional at times that I'll come away with watery or red rimmed eyes trying to explain I'm not really upset about anything!
It does feel very therapeutic though especially at this present time with all the other real life fears and concerns going on around us to be able to escape to another place mentally. You don't have to do it through art because as I say, writing and the use of words is for me a much more powerful way to explore my own emotions anyway and words are far more direct, so I would totally recommend to anyone whose never tried, just to have a go at writing a short piece about anything, maybe even an essay type piece about some time in your life that meant a lot to you just so you can see how those emotions and memories start coming out when you return to that moment. If you do come out with something you think is worth sharing we could always post it in this editorial for our other readers to see and respond too, even anonymously if you prefer!
Anyways, have a nice week and I guess we'll see you around next weekend again some time :)

I have loved these strips with Janey!! Even though I wanted to personally see them get together, it has been super exciting watching it all unfold. This is such a good comic! :D Makes me even further wonder how it will all end and what Sarah will do. <3 Good job, Sky and Becky!

Don't worry, Sky; I will enjoy it to the very end! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us. :3

Sometimes, we miss out on opportunities, by being the "good guy", when others are not ...but can regret that later B\

Bear: Very true!

Very quiet and rather sad page. I appreciate that Sarah cheating on Lucy, even if she feels the relationship is going nowhere, would be wrong. Especially given how Sarah knows only too well the pain of betrayal . . . but it still feels as though Sarah & Janey have missed an opportunity. Or maybe not. ......................... And now we have Lenore, what will Sarah find out this time?

Fruitbat: I felt much the same as you do. I rather wanted them to kiss but didn't feel I could let them! :)

There's a certain sadness in returning to normal, I feel. In the normal you have, and the normal you want. I feel for Sarah.

STR: What a beautifully put comment and it sounds like you are speaking from experience too. I remember feeling excited for a few days thinking I was going to go and visit my new 'friend' but family issues stopped me from doing it and that feeling of my life continuing as normal was as you say quite a sad feeling.

Nic and Ben: I'm not really sure how highly charged that moment was but I think they will be on each others minds for a while now for sure although we'll only be following Sarah's struggle. :)

Things are going "back to normal"- at Nikki's. Lucy is nowhere to be found. I'm thinking there isn't much zip left with that relationship.

Fred: We will be joining Lucy again very soon. I'd like to have included her more but as always the page count gets so large that I feel I have to keep moving with the main story line but you are right, I think sarah feels she is losing Lucy to Laura anyway.

Actually wondering, if maybe there is a connection between Sarah and Lenore... a physical, blood, connection
DarkVisor at 9:45PM, Nov. 14, 2020
Was thinking maybe distant relative, on the side of the family no one talks about anymore

DV: Not a blood connection but something of a spiritual one I'd say.
