Okay, if you haven't seen it, I updated in the WEE HOURS this morning.
Click on the image, or click HERE to read on Smackjeeves.
Now, if you're a Smackjeeves reader, be sure to mozy on over to the MAIN SITE to check out the sweet layout! I bit the bullet and hired my friend Alice to redo the site for me, which involved a HELLISH battle with Wordpress/Comicpress. My installation was out of date and all glitchy, but Alice got everthing updated and fixed up! I'm sorry for the hassle, Alice! :C
It may be late in the month, but the new, nice layout is my way of saying Happy Birthday to YOU guys! :) I'll do my best to keep the site updated and working properly.
One thing that still needs a lot of work.. the store. *groan* I have to add more items and get it organized and nice-looking.
Reminders:
-Tokyo in Tulsa, July 10-12, be there!
-Send in birthday fanart (or other fan-made goodness) and I'll post it. :D
Off to the gym I go!
- Website Update.

Okay, so last night I spent WAY TOO MANY HOURS cleaning up the Heard website a little. I only tackled the most basic problems so far, but trust me when I say that all of the issues will be resolved with the site within a few weeks. Yay!Updates made to HEARD's website (main):- Links page updated, broken links and images fixed, more links added. Look HERE. *
- "Media" page has been deleted and merged with Links. So, you can find Heard link images in "Links" now.
- "Conventions" page has been deleted and merged with "About". Scroll down there to find info about upcoming/past conventions. Look HERE.
- "Fanart" page changed to "Fanwork" and includes a few more pieces of fanart, 70 new livejournal icons, and a new fan-made background! look HERE. **
- Removed defunct Project Wonderful ads, added a big link to HEARD in the layout, and added the "SEEN" linking banner to the bottom of every page. Look HERE.
*If I linked to your site but didn't use a banner (couldn't find one), and you have one you'd like me to use, just drop me a line. :D I'd be happy to add the actual banner!
**The 70 icons are 35 icons with two different versions, each. Feel free to use either of these versions. If you use them on your livejournal or anything you can credit the website, OR just tell people it's from the Heard-comic if they ask. I don't really mind what you do. :D Also, the wallpaper posted (made by my friend from one of my pages), is free to be colored. She tried to keep it easy for someone to color, if they wanted, so feel free!
Anyway, yes. Amongst other things, some of the website changes coming up are: updated wordpress installation to allow threaded comments, ARCHIVE PAGE (yeah, lol.. goddamn), and... the entire layout. ;D
Okay.. yes, that's it for me, I think. I'm gonna try to get tomorrow's update done on TIME today. Let's see if I can~~ thanks for all of the patience and support, lately.
- Update; doopy doop.

Hey sexy people!
If you're readers of Two Rooks (which you should be!), you may have noticed some extra-special characters in a recent page..
Click to see the page full-size. Much love to Alice for the sweet cameo! I love the way she draws Hannah. <3<3 LUV U ALEES!
Also, I posted about this a long time ago, but I thought I should remind everyone.
CONVENTION APPEARANCE ANNOUNCEMENT!
Where: Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
When: July 10-12, 2009 (That's coming up here in a few weeks)
Check out my info on their guest page, if you'd like.
I'll be easy to find, I'm sure! I'm still not 100% sure about which panels I'll be participating in, but I know I'm on the Webcomic panel. So, be sure to find me and chat me up! AND BUY STUFF! >:U .. No, I'm kidding, you don't have to buy stuff. I would really appreciate it if you did, though!
Okay, that's it for now. I have to start working on merchandise, and.. of course.. the page for tonight! (Not sure when it'll go up..)

So on the plus side, I get to hang out with my friend Heidi!
On the down side, I'm not getting the job that I spent $200 and 4 days of my life trying to get.
Ha ha. Nena confidence level: at an all-time low.

I'm so pissed. I got up so early to finish packing for my flight and here I am, sitting on my plane. We should have taken off an hour and a half ago. We should be landing in Chicago right now, but instead were just sitting here. Doing absolutely nothing.
This fucking airport has like ten flights a day, why can't any of them leave on time!? Apparently they're doing maintenance. Or, more accurately, trying to fix the emergency door? I don't see anyone working on anything.
I'm mostly pissed because if I'd known my flight was gonna be two hours late--as it's shaping up to be-- I would have spent this time with my brother (who just returned from a monthlong vacation last night). Instead I'm sitting on this plane alone and exhausted.
If die on this flight, I hereby declare Nuu responsible for finishing Heard.

I updated last night. Well, like, at 3 in the morning or so.
Click the image to read on the regualr site, or CLICK HERE to read on Smackjeeves.
I think I'm gonna add the whole "updates Mondays & Thursdays" into the new layout. Only because people seem to be surprised by when I update.. even though it's the same two days a week..
Yeah, so, I sneakily posted about the fact that I was going to be a guest at this convention. Now I'm posting to say that it's official-- you can tell it's official because you can find me on the Guests page. The planning of the convention is still a bit chaotic so I can't say for sure which panels I'll be involved with-- all I know for SURE right now is that I'll be on the Webcomic panel. :) Other than that, if you're at the convention, drop by my table and I'll tell you all about the panels I'll be on!
For now, I've got to start panicking about merchandise to make. Hmm!

Man. Even though it's summer and I don't have a "real" job, I seem to keep busy enough anyway. On the weekends I've been driving to Kansas City to participate in a training course. It's a course to get TESOL / TEFL certification. (Certification for Teaching English as a Foreign/Second Language.) I'm not sure how much the certification, in itself, is worth-- but I've learned so much about how to teach that it's definitely been worth the time and money for me. That means that I leave town Friday afternoon and don't get back until Sunday night. Which is why my Monday updates have been late-- I arrive exhausted on Sundays, and just end up going straight to sleep. Sucks that I don't even START drawing Monday's update until Monday afternoon, but that's just how it's gonna be for now. Next week is my last week of training.
Right after my training finishes this weekend, I've got an interview in Chicago. I've gotta go suit-shopping this week. I'm really nervous about this interview. I really, really want the job.
Uh. What else was I gonna talk about? Oh yeah. One of my future comic projects is going to be an autobiographical comic of sorts. One of the problems that I have with this project is that.. I have REALLY BAD memory. Really, really bad memory. I wanted to thoroughly illustrate a lot of what I've already done (last year, for example) but the problem is that my memory is so bad, I don't have a lot to work with.
The obvious solution is that I need to start keeping a journal, but I just really suck at that. I need to jot down everything that happened and any important thoughts for the day. I am SO BAD at doing this. So.. so bad. I wonder if I'll be albe to pull it together and just DO it? Maybe I should start getting into the habit now. I'm not actually doing much lately that's gonna be important enough to chronicle, but still.. I guess establishing the habit is a good idea.
- Sales journal is open!

Okay, I have SO MUCH stuff to sell over the summer that I figured it made more sense to start a separate journal for selling-- that way strangers can stumble onto my sales journal and not be like "What's all this other stuff about?"
Anyway, I still have a whole bunch of Manga up for sale (updated to remove sold items, and I also added a few items). And, I have a bunch of Gachapon and other collectible stuff for sale!
There's a preview of some of the stuff for sale. CLICK AN IMAGE to go look! And buy buy buy! Not to get anyone excited, but.. OMG ROSE OF VERSAILLES KEYCHAIN! Haha. I only have ONE Lady Oscar for sale, so get over there and buy her up! I've still got to take more pictures and add more stuff to the journal, so I'll be posting here whenever I add stuff there.
Feel free to friend my sales journal, if you want.

Been getting some totally awesome fanart the last few days. You guys are in for a treat next week!! Keep sending them in, I'll post every weekend until I run out. Icons, wallpapers, any fanmade work is loved.
Also, thank you all for the sweet emails and facebook messages. I really appreciate your encouragement and personal feedback, and I'll be replying to all of the messages just as soon as I get home. (away for the weekend of training).

There's gonna be tons of neat stuff happening this month, despite the fact that I'm going to be stupidly busy. Be sure to check the site every Monday and Thursday! I've already received some neat stuff, but be sure to send me FANART (or other fan works) for me to post on the weekends! Pleeease? PWEEEESE?
Also.. we're creeping closer and closer to the time of the year where I have to renew hosting and all of that business. Sigh! I don't like paying out money when I don't MAKE money. :/

Got back home about an hour and a half ago. The weekend training course was pretty intense, not gonna lie. I'll write a little more about it later, perhaps. I've got to sleep so I can wake up early and start drawing the page. It WILL be up sometime during the day tomorrow.
I just don't have the energy right now.

Hey sexy babies. I updated last night.
You should go read it! Yanno, if you wanna! Clicky clicky!
Or, if you want, click HERE to read it on Smackjeeves.
Anyway, uh, yeah. I'm getting faster at drawing, finally, so that's pretty sweet. This page took only 4 hours from start to finish (I already had it planned and thumbnailed), so I sketched, inked, shaded, lettered, bubbled, saved, did an incentive image, and uploaded. In 4 hours! When I started out, it was taking me closer to 6 hours for that process. I guess I'm getting into the swing iof things.
Thanks for reading, you attractive, intelligent people! <3

I updated last night. Read it here! (Or HERE, on smackjeeves.)
Today I'm working on cleaning out my entire room (oh god) which has turned up.. many an interesting thing. I'm just now realizing HOW MUCH stuff I have sitting around the house that I really have no purpose for, no attachment to. I don't get attached to items, really, so that makes it easy for me to just sell it online for cheap.
Anyway, back to cleaning before mom murders me. More information on the stuff for sale, laters!

So, being the total nerd that I am, I went ahead and customized my livejournal again. This is one of the pre-made livejournal layouts that really suited me, except for some of the color choices. I replaced icky poop-red colors with PINK. YAY! I like my journals OBNOXIOUS, yet simple.
I also FINALLY got around adding a custom mood set. I always thought they were so cute but never got around to adding one. Then I went back and added moods to lots of my posts so I could see the cute little sailors~
Yes.. I'm verily pleased by this journal! Now all I need are some more icons! I just never get around to adding them..
Anyway. I gotta get a page done tonight! Check for an update tomorrow morning. (I'll post tomorrow to remind everyone.)
