“Mein Schnee” 172: Alice’s Journal, Pg.38
Three things:
1.) Normally, I would do a holiday pic, as today is the 4th of July (Woohoo!), but instead I am celebrating moving the story onward.
2.) This is the second-to-last planned journal of the whole series. I will be moving on to comic strips again! This particular story started in July 2017, so it is fitting to end it’s run in July nearly on the two-year anniversary of the start of Mein Schnee. We’ve learned so much about the characters through journaling. From how Miss Muffet truly sees herself to some of the darker parts Goldie tries to hide to one more bit of intrigue which will be revealed next week in the last journal page, brought to you by Alice. Thank you for going on this journey with me!
3.) Third thing? I may be needing to take a hiatus for about 2 weeks due to unforseen life and a live-in guest in the room I normally do my computer work. Much has happened lately and I am trying to accommodate all sides, but sometimes everything can’t be done. I can only do art on my PC, not my laptop at present, but that means I can spend some more time revising my manuscript, which it needs! I hope to post some art and sketches soon of random SHARDS bits but things are up in the air after the very last journal entry next week.
While I am kind of sad that we will not get a 4th of July picture this year…I do agree with your decision of finally finishing this journal adventure after 2 years. Very fitting decision indeed.
Keep up the good work and take a long break. You deserve it after all you’ve done for the series thus far.
I’ve loved these journal entries and insights of the characters and their overall feelings towards each other. Here is hoping they’ll make a return somewhere down the line.
On this arc as a whole,one thing that strikes me is that they all have secrets — as all of us do too.
The hardest ones to let go and reveal are the secrets we are keeping even from ourselves. An example would be Goldie’s secret that she needs the others as friends. She’s just now beginning to see that Cindy’s friendship has value for her… not really seeing that she actually needs it, but a first step in the right direction. It’s gonna be a long (and rough) trip, but she’s got the friends that she will need. They will understand because they each have their own problems (and secrets) to deal with too.
