Yes it's supposed to sound press releasy....

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that both A Wish for Wings and Closetspace are on Hiatus until further notice. "The Big AWFW News" I'd been pushing was an AWFW Book that would have been published come April or May...that's also indefinately on hold.

At the beginning of the month, the person I've been staying with has moved to a new house. I moved with him. After a few days, I had an incredibly severe allergy attack, and found out that I was allergic to the pine in our hardwood floors. The entire house minus the bedrooms is hardwood floors.

Because I'm unemployed and uninsured I got the only medical advice I could afford: I asked the pharmacist at the local drug store who said Benadryl would work, and it did mostly.

However, the damage has been done.

A few days ago I woke up and had no feeling in my right hand. While it eventually came back, it's been numb and painful on and off ever since. I tried to draw AWFW last thursday and couldn't finish it because my hand hurt too much. Today's CS couldn't be done because I couldn't hold the pencil for very long without dropping it. And it's spreading. :P

So while I can't draw the comics, I'll be working on getting out of this house and healing up. Then I'll be back drawing comics as I can. Until then, anyone who would like to draw up some filler, or heck, be a guest artist, give me an EMail.

If you want me to EMail you when the comic updates (wether it's filler, guest, or, hopefully story comics) EMail me, and I'll add you to a mailing list. If you don't want on the list, you can always go to the RSS feeds. I'll update them as we get them.

Thanks, folks. Sorry about this.

Ow! That's some allergy you've got there, Jenn...as someone whose chest seems to have contractions when she ingests the wrong thing, I can feel for you. I hope at least you've got a pine-less place you can go to, or that the the Benadryl does its work well.

Don't be sorry. Take care of yourself first.

holy crap! that's so awful - I'm so sorry.

You seem to be currently in the Land of Suck. If there is anything that I may be able to do to help, large or small, you've got my email. ((hugs)) You already know that, but I'm reminding you 'cos it's important.

Oh dear. I hope you feel better. Take lots of time to heal yourself. Your comics are wonderful but you are far more important.

Best of luck finding someplace soon.

We'll all be here waiting for you. {{{hugs}}}

Do what you have to...

..to get well. That must be your first priority.

I'd offer to do a filler or some guest art, but I'm off to New York State tomorrow for two weeks (a miracle, with the help of a friend), and won't even be able to do my own strip!

Holy crap Jenn, I hope you get better soon. I wish I was a talented visual artist so I could send you some work as filler/guest comic. I am alas, only a poet, a talent in it's own right but not much use to you in this situation.

I am sure I am not alone among your fans in asking that you concentrate on getting better. The work that has given us joy will not exist if your health doesn't improve but that is not the only reason, your health is important to us in itself.

You have no reason to say you are sorry. Just get well, look after yourself and protect yourself. I am not normally one to ask the goddess and god to intervene but for you I have. Good luck Jenn.

To Jenn

You wished for wings
But gave us your's
You spread your blue
To foreign shores
Gave us love
Something to adore
I wish for wings
To make them your's

Your angel's heart
Is spread too wide
You gave us art
No wish for reward
Although your work
Has had to hide
I'll give you the strength
I've put aside

You wished to give
Your halo's pale
Your halo power
Will never fade
You've touched me more
Than I can say
Your wings will return
To us one day

Claire (nonhumanreason)

Get well Jenn
