SS7 94 Finale 2
skyangel on April 4, 2021
It feels bad to admit it, so close to the end of this whole thing but I'm really struggling to finish the final pages just lately. I know how it all ends as it's been in my head for something like 2-3 years now but now I'm thinking of new stories, new directions and thinking of moving away from comics altogether to just write a novel instead. Art is fun but hard work and slow, and the constant editing down to the most basic wording to balance the art or save having to do even more artwork feels a bit like butchery.
I've never done this for money as you know, that's never been an incentive and I'd love to promise I will finish this comic but every other comic I've loved on here over the years which has made the same promise has ended up abandoning their work, so I'll just be quiet because quiet is what I do best.
So a new character, a quiet character has been forming in my mind lately and as always the new story is already writing itself and I run behind trying to keep up with her whilst furiously scribbling notes lest I forget what she's told me. It's probably the most exciting part of being a writer as it's an adventure that travels and grows with you.
Anyways, as always I talk too much but we will at least be updating two more pages for certain as they are already done!
Thanks for all your support as always. x

About the page: of course two people who have had so much history will have such a connection, but that doesn't mean there can't be a future with someone else, this could be the cathartic closure for Lucy and Laura (it could also be what cements their bond fully), but knowing Sarah, she will do something Sarah-y and cause her and Lucy's ending to be premature and _very_ messy

If you want to write a novel, write a novel, even if it means you delay the end of 'Simply Sarah', just... please keep us informed so we know when we can buy it :)

"... it's an adventure that travels and grows with you." Yeah, I know that feeling travels, grows & changes. As 'anonymous' says, we DO hope you finish it !

I am very happy to see Luck & Laura bonding like this, but oh how sad it is for Sarah. I'll be sad to see the end of this comic, but I'm keen to see what does happen. I don't follow many comics, but I am perfectly aware there are many which have fallen by the wayside, or update at a pace best described as glacial. However, 'Simply Sarah' has ben (generally) very consistent in its updating. Sky, I've every confidence we'll see the end of it. And good luck with any future comics. Or indeed a novel.

I hope that you do finish it - I've been reading this comic for literal years, it's one of my favorites and has a lot of significance for me and many others. I know it's hard to finish something when so many other projects are new and exciting, but this comic has worth and is worthy of a good end.

Perhaps I'm being selfish, but I encourage you to finish your story in a way that stays true to your artistic vision. I have found for myself a great deal of satisfaction in completing difficult projects. Sometimes we just gotta work hard.

For my own sake, I hope we will see more of your charming artwork and touching stories and dialogue soon. But doing art is a difficult, rewarding, and often unpredictable process. (I can't honestly say I speak from personal experience, but I admire the hell out of those who have the skills and courage to do it.) If it's time to move in a new direction, or simply take a break, I totally understand. Regardless, this has been a great journey. During these years my own teenage daughter came out, and I feel SS has, in a way, helped me to better understand how to be there for her. Wherever you go next, you should be proud of what you have accomplished already. My simple thanks for sharing it with us.
