Tuesday EGSNP Return
In my previous message, I probably should have said "I will make a post if it's NOT going to be Tuesday". That way it would be one less message in people's inboxes, but past me didn't think of that, so...TUESDAY! 🎉Thank you everyone for your patience and support. I really needed the break this past week.
Brief EGSNP Pause
I'm not sure how long I'll need, but I feel it necessary to take a brief pause from EGSNP. I expect it will last the rest of this week at a minimum, the earliest likely return Tuesday the 22nd.This is in part for writing reasons, I want to plan what comes next better, but also due to some outside stress.I'm sorry for this pause. It's really not something I want to do, but I feel I need to do it. I will post here, and on the site, ...

I dunno, I just need nonsense to put here, and I apparently only know one song about dancing.CommentarySeriously, arranged nonsense would probably be better for all concerned than this nonsense. Not necessarily BEST for all concerned, but we're speaking relatively."Um, uh, I dunno? Her.""I do believe you've just poin...

Of course yes - https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/cinder-060Prince Elliot refusing to dance would've been quite the twist, I admit, but it's the sort of twist that would make people want to twist my neck, so I went with a breadstick direction over a pretzel.Commentary"Why, we could never go back in at all!

Next EGSNP Thursday
My apologies for the sudden delay. I wasn't feeling well this past week. It was something that didn't prevent work, but it did slow it down significantly. I'm feeling better now, but that slow down has caught up with me, and I've decided to make the next EGSNP Thursday rather than rush it or stay up late.

About your name... - At egscomics"Did you say Cinderbrella?""No, Cinderella.""Oh! Well, that's good.

I'm going to need to delay Saturday's EGSNP and Monday's story page (Friday's page normal). So AFTER Friday's page, next EGSNP Tuesday, next story page Wednesday.I was hoping to avoid this, but I don't see a way around it that won't backfire worse later.In more positive news, the next sketchbook will be Monday.
