So. It's been a month or so since my last serious post.

I've put some status updates explaining, it's nothing serious. I simply got incredibly busy in December, which came with a surge of inspiration for written stories, rather than comics. Before I could get out of this, mum got us a cute little puppy. She's called Pipoca (means Popcorn), and she's smart, brave and energetic. I already love her to bits, but she does take a lot of my time and energy from us, with her constant pleas for playing and the need to make sure she is doing her business in the right place (she learned pretty fast, but sometimes she tries to catch our attention).

I finally regained part of the energy lost in the last month, and with my parents home, Popcorn also goes after them, making things a little easier on me.

In the mean time, I've advanced in some of my stories and I finally decided how exactly I'll wrap Promise up. I'm ready to finish this story.

About that. People in my streamings already know that, but since most of you don't know yet... The Promise is the last B&V comic (or, at least, the last regular one - I might draw a few scribbly ones in the future, and some more if I print a book with the strips). I need to move on, and my next artistic step is educational comics for my doctorate. I really want to give my all to them, and I prefer to wrap B&V properly rather than leave it dangling in a perpetual hiatus. Plus, everything else I have to say about the boys is too big for comics, it asks more for writing. As soon as I finish the comics, I'm planning to release some very short scenes, forming a patchwork of scenes that I have to exorcise out of me. Then, if I still have the energy, I'll come back to the booklets, but I make no promises on dates.

Of course I'll keep posting things on DA, but it'll probably be writing more than comics. I'm seriously planning on translate The Conservatory into English and publish the chapters here regularly. It won't be easy, but it'll keep my account moving, at least. I'll probably post silly random comics, too. We'll see.

And that's it. Are you ready for the beginning of the end? I am! I'll release the next Promise page today or tomorrow. Stay tuned. Love you all!

EDIT: I've been playing Pokémon Go for one month. I've walked 133 km, 164 pokémon caught and 242 seen. I already have some favourites like Vupix, Ninetales, Eevee and Espeon. All in all, this little game has been making me happy. :D
