Hey all, and happy October! There's alot to look forward to this month, but I wanted to reflect a little bit.

On this day last year, I uploaded the first chapter of Firewood to Newgrounds. I tend to remember it as a big "pulling off the band-aid" thing. It was a head first dive into storytelling that I was unsure of but knew I ultimately wanted to do. So, even though I've had these characters and these ideas for a long time, it almost feels like I made the comic on a whim.

Which makes it even more crazy to me how the project has grown over the past year. I've been plucking away at it whenever I can, and the total page cont has reached 100! (plus more if you count the upcoming chapter)

It was an insane amount of work, yet it almost feels like I blinked and now we're up to chapter 4.

If you're wondering how I feel about all this, I'm not sure to be honest, lol. This sort of project is still kinda foreign to me.

It's mostly been a whole lot of learning. All I really know for sure is I want to make more. Speaking of, the new chapter ought to drop sometime this month.

If you've been reading Firewood up to this point, thank you! It's a story that's very dear to me, and if a few people are enjoying it too, then that makes me real glad. If you haven't I'll link the playlist below the drawing. The whole thing is available to read on Newgrounds.
