Comics setback...
Hey guys,

I know I said that I had more comics coming your way, but unfortunately I just got wind that gURL.com isn't in a position to take any more on until December. I'm sure it surprised them as much as it surprised me, and I assure you that it is through no fault of their own that this has come to pass.

However, I realize that everyone is waiting for comics, and I desperately want to get back to making them.

So, over the next few weeks/month, I will build an updater onto my site and promise you something, something comic-licious to read at least once a week.

I hope you will understand the delay and will not be too upset with either gURL or me for it.

Thank you,
Rachel Nabors

Of course we're not upset with you or gURL! We can wait for you guys. Your comics are well, well worth the wait <3

I think it would be great hosting them on your own site. It'll increase the value of your virtual real estate. ^_^

Hey, setbacks in the biz are nothing new.
It took me almost 10 years to get something published.

There are tons of examples of successful people getting rejected. Here are a few of them:
- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin was rejected for 17 years.
- No Thanks by poet e. e. cummings was rejected by 10 different publishers.
- Animal Farm by George Orwell was rejected by 22 different publishers.
- In 1962, Decca records had an audition by a British band. They rejected the Beatles because "Guitar music was on its way out."
- And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street was rejected by 23 publishers. The author was Dr. Seuss.
- The film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was rejected by Hollywood for 15 years. It would go on to win an Oscar for best picture.
- Doctor Ignaz Semmelweis was barred from practicing medicine in the 1850's. Reason: He suggested that the washing of hands before seeing patients would reduce infections.
- Walt Disney studios turned down artist Charles Schultz.

The point is there are always potholes on the road to success. I've been encountering them for years. Yet I still go on, and those that persist and are good usually find a venue in the end. Sometimes, it doesn't come until after death, as in the case of Rembrandt.
