Hiatus – New Year

I'm alive.

I crashed pretty hard, though. Still not all fixed up. I don't cry as much but when the wave of grief hits, it hurts. The holidays did not help, but at least they're now over.

I have loved all of your comments, your emails, and your stories. Some of you are dealing with--or have dealt with--big losses like me. And it makes me want to form a big group hug. Because this is not fun.

Been trying to draw. It's not going so well. Because I end up crying. My sister was a big supporter of my comic and, well, my thoughts aren't filled with happy ones as I draw. Which makes me seek happier activities instead.

Nor does it help that this story deals a lot with grief, pain, and mental trauma. I'm not really in a good headspace for all that...

But, I love my comic and I know if I don't set a deadline, I'll never get anything done.

So, I'm setting a loose goal to re-start the comic on March 1st. It's possible it will happen. It's possible it won't. I might even start earlier. Or I might not. But, at the very least, I can promise you'll get another update from me by March 1st.

Thank you all so much in the meantime. Best fans ever.

EDIT: Goal is extended to April 5th.

I’m glad to here that you’re managing. I have fond memories of meeting you in LA, and my D t-shirt is one of my favorites. May your new year be filled with kindness and warmth.

I know the feeling of loosing a close person, Take as much time as needed.

Mental health is the biggest priority! Take care of yourself. I’ll be waiting for your return when and if you feel ready.

Well said. In time creating your comic can become something that reminds you, not of what you lost, but of your connection to her.

Accepting pain and loss as part of life is easy to preach when it doesn’t come all at once. If your sister was a big fan and supporter then consider that you are also carrying on this work in her honor. Remember the good times and be glad for the time you got to spend together. And take all the time you need, we will be here, checking in from time to time and wishing happiness for you.

Maybe not a group hug, but a chain hug. Let me be the first. *hugs*

First time comment to join in sending you hugs and best wishes!
*hugs*

*HUGS!* Know this if nothing else. You have given us a lot of joy in your works here. A lot of us here wish nothing but the best for you and will be here when you return. I personally had waited two years for another artist in the past when they hurt their hand. I did that because I liked what they gave us to enjoy. NAV quickly became a comic I love so I’ll be here for at least another five years waiting for you to be ready.

*hugs*

*hugs for all*

*hugs*

Happy late new year !

take your time, its a horrible situation youre in, nothing anybody says can make it go away, but i just want to say, your stories have brought me a lot of joy and excitement though the years, the writing of your comic inspired me to buy your book, and i loved it just as much, so if youre back on march 1st, great see you then, if you need more time, thats also okay, and well be happy to wait until youre ready.
take care of yourself the best way you can.

*Shares in the big group hug you requested, makes room for more to join platonically if they want to as well…*

I’m glad you’re doing at least a little bit better, and I know I’m not the only one to feel relieved you are well enough to reach out to us.

Grief is most definitely a facet of love. In fact, it’s the pointy bottom of the heart, that sharp ouchy bit down there: ?

Be in the moment when you grieve, sit with it, acknowledge it, admit that it hurts. Then breathe. Just…breathe…

Refill your lungs as you let your feelings wash not just over you, but through you and beyond…like a rock being swamped by a crashing wave of seawater that then drains and runs off back to the sea.

I’m glad you’re going to try resuming the comic. Not just for our sake as your readers, not just for your characters’ sake, or even just for your own sake. For your sister’s sake, so that she doesn’t have to come back to haunt you and try to kick your butt repeatedly from the aether so you’ll keep going on the story she so very much longed to see becoming a reality.

For now…breathe. And know that you are hugged virtually, any time you want or need it.

Pfff, the heart shape didn’t show up, despite it being a standard ascii character. So here’s the old bulletin board version as a low-graphics-quality Li.F.e version: <3

I’ve always preferred the traditional using-other-characters versions over all attempts at icons taking their place. Makes it feel more like a word and less like a picture, which to me is much preferable in otherwise written communication. I might be very weird.

*joins in the big group hug*

Glad you’re taking the time you need and want to get back into the comic drawing; March 1st sounds like a good timeline and if somehow you get a comic ready earlier, I at least will be fine if you want to build up a backlog for that day, in case that helps with the long term grieving that may still come up over time.

But by all means, I hope you take the time you need and want to get the comic going further into the story; if you feel like you need a bit of intermediate comic breaks, that works too.

Take your time. Since your sister liked your comic, even more incentive to continue it. Not just for us fans.

Happy new year Aneeka. May this one be far better than the last two. If you can get a new post up that’d be great, if not don’t worry about it too much. Take care and I hope you start feeling better.

*hugs*

I don’t consider myself good at leaving thoughtful messages, so I’ll be short.

Happy you are still around. Will keep checking back, however long it takes. Take care.

[Goes back to lurking]

Welcome back. I know it cant be easy, but I appreciate they you are taking this step.

As long as you are getting / dealing better. Grief, it’s a chain that never goes away. It’s light at a summer breeze one day. Hanging like h***s bollocks the next.
I don’t have any answers. I’ll try to be around March 1st also. With doctor visits, plague, winter. Who knows? Pretty sure I might be. Around that time, I mean.

This is the first comment I’ve ever left, even though I’ve been reading your comic for years. I’m very excited for you to be coming back. I’m so sorry for your loss and the difficulties you’ve been through. I honestly can’t imagine how hard it’s been, and I hope in time the pain gets easier and your memories grow fonder. We are waiting here patiently for you however long you need.

We’ll be here whenever it starts up, Aneeka.

I’ve never left a comment before, but I love your comic and have been following it for years.

Great to see a new post from you, and proud of you. Just setting a goal is a big, important step forward. Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get moved forward by the date you set. None of us can control everything, and we won’t think less of you if you miss your target (for whatever reason). You set one, and that’s good enough for now. The next step, doubtful as it seems right now, will be easier, and so on and so on. We’ll be here cheering you on till you get back to full speed. Stay safe.

Grief hits everyone differently. I just wanted to say that we enjoy your work and will be here when you get a handle on things. Take all the time you need.

I’ve been a fan of your comic for years and I totally understand how it feels to lose a family member suddenly It’s been 5 years and I still can’t bare to look at any photos of my mother.

We can wait you need to get to a place where you’re better and are able to do the things you enjoy without feeling bad about it. It will come don’t force it.

I’m just so excited to see that you’re back in any capacity. We love you, Aneeka.

I’m so sorry for your losses. Grief fades over time, but never goes away as I have found from my own losses. Take all the time you need. We can wait.

(((Hugs))) MightI suggest that you continue with the story? While painful it is an outlet for your grief. Your sister would want you to continue on with NAV , maybe consider that it would be used to honor her and help you through this time. The hardest thing I’ve had to deal with in my life was the loss of my twin, he meant the world to me. It has taken some considerable time, but now I try to do what would honor him by continuing to do the things that he enjoyed and supported me with when he was living. The grief never goes away, it just changes and the wave become less intense over time. Take good care of yourself.

The holidays are rough when not everyone is there :'(
Take care of yourself and don’t feel bad about taking time to grieve.
Our thoughts, prayers, and well wishes are with you and your family.

I’m glad you’re taking the initiative to set your own goal and deadline. That’s so important for recovery. Please take care of yourself and please know that most of us are gonna be A-OK with small updates if you can’t manage large ones. You need to take care of your mental health just as much as your physical.

Like everyone else is saying, take your time, when you are ready then go ahead, but if drawing puts you in a bad headspace don’t until it doesn’t this type of pain takes time to heal and everyone heals at a different rate. Try to focus on the good times you had with your grandparents and sister. This may sound trite but it it true “they are not gone so long as you are there to remember them”.

Hugs from all of your fans. And may they bolster your spirit.

Seconded, may the hugs bolster your spirit!

Aneeka, I have never left a comment here before but I just wanted to say the following:

Take all the time you need, your fans love you for what you do and will wait for when you’re ready to return. Wishing you all the best.

On a personal note, I fully understand how you’re feeling right now, and really hope you do continue working on the story and your art. Don’t let your grief take away that special thing for you. I know it’s hard, but the alternative is worse. I lost my brother/some years ago now, and when he died we were working on a massive story together. Writing, art, the works, and using it to drive a tabletop game we made to play with our friends. At the time we had been working on it for almost 10 years solid, and we getting ready to publish a book or two with our stories and art. After he died I tried to carry on a bit, but I let the grief control me and I stopped. I never got help, I just assumed I would be fine eventually. I Disbanded the game group, dropped the book, shelved the stories, stopped drawing, just stopped everything. I think I have some papers left, but I still just leave them in a drawer. It’s been almost 10 years now and every now and then I try to pull out and try to pick up the story, maybe finally finish it, or put the book out, but I just can’t. It’s been too long, and I let the magic die. It’s my one of my biggest regrets. Don’t be like me. You can be stronger.

It’s not too late to get help, you know. Grief support groups welcome everyone who’s hurting, not just people whose loss is recent. Go join one, even if it’s just on facebook. You will be amazed how much it helps to talk to people who understand your pain.

The pain never goes away. It just gets masked by everyday activities. Then on day you realize that you’re doing more day-today stuff and less dwelling on the hole in your life.

You do you! Take what time you need.

Peace!

Loss hits people different depending on who it was you lost and i cant imagine your sorrow but no matter what happens dont feel like you need to force yourself to get over it for that path will only lead to self destruction.

If needs be do not be afraid to talk to a therapist as having someone you do not know to confide in can help on the path of recovery.

We can wait until you are ready to come back and if you never do then thats OK too.

With love and a Big, Warm and hopefully comforting hug, Artur Wennerberg from Sweden!

It’s fine if you need more time. It’s not how often you fall down, it’s how many times you get back up.
Unless you’re taking a sobriety test.

Really glad to hear from you Aneeka! Thanks for the update, hang in there hun. *long distance hugs*

Honestly, just glad you are here. Its okay to not be alright, really only was coming back to check for an update about you more than the comic much as I love it. And as someone who loves the comic and wants to support you, do whatever is needed. I do wish that things may be able to return to a sense of normal for you, and that you can do what you love without hindrance, but whatever happens comic or not, I am just glad that you are surviving and getting by, rough as it may be. Well wishes

Your fans are still here, waiting patiently. There is no hurry and we look forward to your getting better. We will still be here when you are ready to start again. Take your time and take care of yourself first. God bless.

*Sends you a hug.*

Take all the time you need. Healing takes time, and your health and sanity come first.

Also, I want to share with you a comic from a friend that deals with healing from mental issues and trauma. It’s not exactly the same as the tragedies that struck you and your family, but it is something that shows that others have similar experiences.

I hope this can help you too:

Hey there Aneeka. It’s great to hear from you again, glad to hear you’re doing even a little bit better. Hang in there, we’ll see you again in March. I’ll be there for sure.

Take as much time as you need to heal. Your fans will always be here for you, and you should not have to hurry for us. So take care of yourself first.

It’s good to hear from you Aneeka! Thank you for the update. I’m glad to hear that you’re doing a little better. Please take care of yourself and take whatever time you need. I’ll be here with all the other fans whenever you’re ready to come back. <3

Take care!

Take all the time you need. We’ll be here for you whenever you are ready.

I’m so glad and grateful to hear that you’re hanging in there. Frankly, that’s the best I could hope for in the immediate term. I just hope you can remember that, though it doesn’t feel like it right now, you are strong. Even and especially if you feel like you’re just barely hanging on; someone lifting hundreds of pounds doesn’t feel strong, they feel like they’re about to collapse, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re bearing up under a tremendous burden. So too with grief; you’re giving yourself time, you’re setting a goal, and you’re getting through it. I can’t say how admirable that is. The only other thing I’d say is that, while I would be thrilled to see the comic continue on March 1st, if you need more time, I encourage you to take it. If you give yourself an out if needed, then the goal can’t become an anchor, another burden, while still giving you motivation.

Anyhow, I’ll pipe down now, since I talk too much; you rock, thank you for your comic, and I’m SO glad you’re taking care of yourself.

Hugs

SO HAPPY YOU’RE ALIVE
I am so sorry for your loss, is there a way to name something big in the comic or a character after your sister? it would be cool to see her the way you do. We all love you so much

I need to comment on the picture – it’s so good! (I hope you eventually put it on a t-shirt or poster). Your sister was right to encourage you and praise your art. Eventually you’ll be able to remember that without the tears. It will happen.

It’s good to hear from you – some reassurance, at least, that you’re still with us. Glad to hear you haven’t abandoned the comic either, though needing time to heal is VERY understandable.

Wishing you all the best-

the one artist that drew you that picture of matrix style D way back in…. 2015. I’m a lurker so I HAVE been reading all the while even if I haven’t commented anything. 🙂

You take all the time you need. Do what you can and take care of yourself first. If you think you need to switch to a different project and come back to NAV when you’re in a space that can deal with its themes then you do that, I’ve seen it done before. When you’re ready we’ll be waiting.

Take care of yourself. I have found that hanging out with dogs as much as possible and with humans only as necessary helped me. Your mileage, of course, may differ.

It is important to take care of yourself and find a path out of the pain. I should know, as I am walking that path myself. Know that you are not alone and are loved by many. I look forward to the day that you are strong enough and healed enough to continue your art and this story. *Hugs*

The mental space is where the toughest battles are conducted when dealing with grief, loss and trauma. I am glad, as are we all, that you are still with us, and we thank you wholeheartedly for advising us of your situation.

Please continue to take care, and please continue to seek whatever help and guideance has gotten you this far.

Glad you felt you could post; find your own way to your own comfort, and let the comic come when it feels right
All the love and patience and support

Hugs are always welcome and available.

(Unless covered in slime or other disgusting goo.
Sorry, it’s a mental thing that cropped up about 2 decades ago and makes cooking really difficult if meat, or a few other things, happen to be involved.)

Also, yeah, holidays are rough for a lot of us, so can totally sympathize with that one.

On a lighter note, Echo, my black cat, has only given me 3 wet willies these last two weeks.
When I’m sleeping, he’ll sneak up on my and lick the inside of my ear. (Yes, we are talking ear canal territory, not the lobes.)
Now that is a messed up way to be woken up!

My cats all seem to have some kind of oddity or another.
Kawaii Oni was my previous cat, and she was a cute little thing. Her strangest habit was waiting until I was asleep, and my arm in just the right position. She’d then straddle my wrist and nip me. That small bite caused a reflex action which would fling her across the room as if my arm were a catapult! That little weirdo apparently had a thing for flying, and yes, she totally knew what she was doing!

Before her, Ugly was the cat of the house. (My parents named him, I had nothing at all to do with that!) He liked channel surfing. He’d find the remote or cable box, put his paw on the up or down channel button, and just lay there watching the channels spin.
At night he’d climb under the covers of my bed, which was too short for me, and crawl out to lay across my feet/ankles that were off the bed, with all four paws hanging in mid air.
But my favorite thing is when my lower back was hurting. I’d lay facedown on the floor and he’d walk over, curl up on small of my back, and start purring. Ahhhh…. Deep purr therapy is the best!

If it wasn’t obvious, I’ve grown up with cats. Even when I was a baby, JoJo, a siamese cat, would sleep in the crib with me.

I was so elated to see the new post! We missed you. Thank you for the update.

Grief is not easy to recover from. I hope that this comment, and the comments preceeding and subsequent to this one continue to give you strength.

You’re amazing, Aneeka. I wish you the absolute best <3. Take all the time you need.

I am so glad you’re feeling well enough to post something here, a picture and words even. I check your website almost daily to see if the comic is back. I really hope you will be able to continue your story again.
Although I know how big changes in your life can change the priority of projects, so please, don’t force yourself t\o work on this. Just know that your story is loved (and not just by me, judging from these comments) and I hope this will make working on it feel more possitive in the future.

Thank you for setting a goal – and for communicating it. I’m so glad to hear you’re still here and are planning for the future. Many hugs from me.

Believe me, I know what you’re going through.

My wife and I were in a car wreck the week before Christmas. She did not survive.

Broken ribs make hugs hard though, and I’m still healing up. So I’ll just pass on well wishes.

“But, I love my comic and I know if I don’t set a deadline, I’ll never get anything done.”

That is very wise.

As you draw, you need to look for ways to find the *good* memories that surface. Not the memories of loss, the memories that make the loss *hurt* – the good stuff that is gone.

Work through the loss – reclaim those good memories as *good* memories, not just triggers for painful memories of loss.

It’s easy to say and hard to do, of course. But that hard work is *worth doing*, because those memories are *****precious*****, so *do not give up on them*!!

I dunno if it will help, but if you want to doodle on a stream, just to not draw alone, with a rule people can chat about boring stuff only – weather, snow, sports, art supplies, video games – that is probably an option for you.

One suggestion I do have, is if NAV is too hard to work on, due to deep themes of loss and trauma, is to work on a lighter, fluffier comic with happy, uplifting themes. You can keep your comic-making skills in tune, and work on facing fewer aspects of your grief at the same time.

Don’t worry about us right now, take care of yourself. Give yourself the consideration and understanding you would give to a friend or loved one who just suffered a traumatic loss, and be patient with yourself. All of which is *much* easier said than done, but *so* worth it.

Yes, I’m posting again.

So is that little draconic dev code vision thing “D”?
He has a “smaller” avatar?

Maybe D can spawn Daemons.

I’m using the computer term of Daemon.
Here’s a link that explains it’s history and usage (worth reading):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(computing)

Glad you are getting better. Glad to see an update. Glad you are together enough to plan the next update. I hope you continue healing.

Group hugs are great.
*hug*

Oh, hey! You’re alive? Welcome back, fam!

Take care of yourself and return when you’re ready.

Don’t push yourself too hard. We’ll be here whenever you’re ready.

*hugs* D looks adorable there.

Here’s to the hope that the well wishes of the fine folks who look forward to your comic are only a small part of the wind behind your sails, as you sail through the journey of your grief. The waters get rough sometimes, the squall can come up, But the ship named Hope stays afloat. It does get easier with time. Be blessed.

I’ve been consoled in my own losses by quotes from C.S. Lewis:

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. The death of a beloved is an amputation.” — A Grief Observed. (In other words: Yes, It’s That Bad.)

And… “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

I am so, so sorry that you have had to deal with such suffering in a short time. But I’m glad that you are the kind of person who can hurt deeply. It shows the kind of person you are.

(Incidentally, my posts don’t seem to make it to the comment board. That’s not something you should fix… just be aware there are even more of us out here wishing you hugs and good vibes.)

I still remember meeting you at the mall in denver, Still got the books and the T-shirt I bought from you, I didn’t have much to say at the time, but I enjoy your story telling. Think of your sister encouraging you while you work on it, and take your time.

Glad your still alive. Take the time you need.

Biggest hugs ever. 2021 is over. A year of loss on top of loss for my family too.

I’m glad to hear that you are on the upslope, and hope you can be graceful with yourself if you slip back down. We will be here, whenever you get back. Thanks for the update.

Here’s to hoping for March 1st!
But we’ll support you either way, and are always rooting for you.

*hugs*

May this year be brighter for you!

I’ve been a long time lurker on NAV. I’ve often dropped off following for months, only to come back for one reason or another.

It’s rare that I donate to any online content. There’s so much of it out there, and just… not always the best decision. There are a lot of dishonest, selfish, cruel, and horrible people out there.

You aren’t them.

NAV is not the shiniest nor the prettiest comic around. There are flaws, some of them glaring in the art or story flow. But it has something a lot of other stories lack. It has genuine love behind the story you are writing and drawing. Despite every flaw I’ve come back to it, time and time again. Because it really is a wonderful story. One that you do care about.

One that deserves to be heard.

What happened in your family is something no family should go through. Take all the time you need. I will just say on behalf of all of the other silent followers and watchers out there… all of those little grey blobs that we are. We are here.

We’re rooting for you. We’ll be here when you feel ready to continue… and if you don’t, we’ll understand.

Losing family is really difficult. My condolences. Take all the time you need to reassemble. <3

Please take the time you need. If you feel a deadline helps you, then that’s a great place to start taking small steps. But please be kind to yourself. We all want you to grieve at your own pace and take care of yourself. Lots of hugs.

Wishing you a great and healing Year of the Tiger!

It’s so good to see you getting back into it, at least tentatively. I’m constantly amazed by you. Back in the early days of NAV I almost wrote it off, but then your writing started to shine through, the art showed that your skills were improving, and the characters made me laugh and cry. I started showing the comic to anyone who would let me. Then even after all that happened here you are, moving forward one step at a time.

You are amazing.

ps: I was actually wearing my D T-shirt when I saw this update. 🙂

Love light and positive energy to you >:D<

Dropping back by to say you are cared about and to offer general verbal support of your health and to remind you that your fans will be there when you come back at whatever pace you come back.

I’m a little concerned that the ads seem to be missing. Is the site ok?

No no no please don’t force yourself to draw if it does not bring good thoughts.

Please please please take all the time you need to recover. Especially since NAV has some dark themes, and being in a dark place is not going to help.

Happy Valentines

Go hug somebody!
Preferably somebody you know who likes hugs.

If a stranger, asking first tends to be a must do…

If it’s somebody that doesn’t like you, a hug might improve things, or it might result in a serious case of confusion, and hopefully nothing worse.

I’m just stopping by to give you a hug. *****HUG*****

Sending you more hugs.

Thank you for the update. 🙂

It’s been a rough year so far, and the world is going mad, but we’re still here for you.

We are still here for you.

*hugs* glad you’re taking care of yourself hun.

We’re still here for you. Take all the time you need.

Take the time you need – we’ll wait for however long it takes.
I can’t imagine how hard this time has been for you – but I do understand that you need to look after yourself first and nameless folk on the interweb a distant second.

Hey just wanted to say that I’m just checking back in to see if you were feeling better enough to update. It’s fine that you’ve not done so as it means you still need time for healing. Even if it takes you a whole extra year I’ll still be checking back from time to time to see if NAV is back up or not. We all love ya hun. So with that said…

Take
Your
Time…..

xoxoxo,
ALL OF US

Best wishes, take care of yourself first.

Take your time… some things take longer to heal than others, especially multiple traumas. We will continue to visit to see when you’ve recovered. Best wishes.

I hope the past few months have been well for you! Spring is on it’s way ~

Lots of love ??

Its going to get better.

Even with the pause in updating, I enjoy going back and re-reading everything so far. It’s tough to move on, we will be here to read when you are ready to come back. <3

Happy St Patrick’s Day may you find some Happiness

Came by to give you a *hug*. Your fans still love you. 😀

I love this comic, I love your work. I’m sad that you’re still not in a place where you can continue; not because I want to read more (though I do), but because it speaks to how difficult this still is for you. I can’t imagine losing a family member like you have, and I wouldn’t expect recovering from such a loss to be any kind of easy. I wish you all the joy you can find right now, and I implore you to come back only when you’re ready.

More hugs for you.

Have you been getting therapy? When you’re in that much pain, it’s a good idea to get professional help.

Hey there! I’m an old reader. I wrote you an e-mail years and years ago, back in 2013, congratulating you for reaching book 2 — almost 3. I praised your characters and storytelling, told you that I wished I could draw like you, but I was – still am – artistically challenged. Spoke about art, stories a bit. The rest of my mail was a bit rambling, but, hey, I was a teen, then.

You were really kind in your reply. You told me I shouldn’t give up on drawing, and that you practiced each day for a year to draw like you do.

What stuck with me is that I made an off-hand comment about me being italian – and your whole reply was written in italian, because of that. I felt that was really kind.

I don’t know where I’m going with this. Which is really how my mail, almost ten years old, started. But… I thank you for replying to me, that time.

Hugs.

Goddess Bless. We’ve largely been there – and the current global situation isn’t helping. Many hugs, much love. When they ask “No. I’m, not ok.”; my hope is for you to be as good as you can be. My best.

Thank you for the update.
I hope you are doing well. I enjoy this comic a lot.

You are still in my thoughts and prayers. If you need anything from us out here, I am sure that we will try to help in any way we can. I am sure that you have a close support group around you in family and friends, but we are here too. Take care and may your heart and soul heal stronger. God bless.

Just leaving a note here to let you know you are appreciated and that I hope you are feeling better. Thank you for sharing your art and creativity so generously in the past. I wish you everything you need to find the same kind of happiness that reading your comic has brought me, and hope that you and your family are healing from the losses that have touched your lives and finding some joy again.
