Extended holiday break
Greetings my podlings ♥
You’ve probably noticed that the page updates have been kind of…sporadic lately. There’s a good reason for that. I’ve been behind on pages for a while due to a creeping burnout, and have now reached the point where I need to take some time away from the comic, and take some time for myself. 🙂
With the holidays coming up, this seems as good a time as any to do that, and though I won’t give a dates right away, I can promise that Seedling will return in 2021.
Thank you so, so much for following Seedling in it’s first year! Have a great holiday and new years, keep each other safe, and I look forward to seeing you all again in the new year!

Planned Hiatus and Chapter 03!
Hi podlings!
Thank you so much for being along for the ride, now that we’ve finally reached the end of Chapter 02! There’s so much good stuff to come, and I hope you’re all ready for the story to start for real! After 171 pages…ahaha…hah….
Seriously though, I am immensely proud to have made it this far already with Seedling, and I cannot wait to show you the rest. As with last time, there’s now going to be a planned hiatus as I produce pages for Chapter 03, as well as continue to work out the rest of the story.
Seedling will begin updating again on November 2nd!
Until then, feel free to visit my tumblr as well as my patreon for extra goodies, and you can follow the webtoons version of Seedling to read the soon-to-be Q&A that will be posted there sometime during October. 🙂
Take care and thanks again! ♥

Dead Wacom = delays
Heya everyone
Sorry about the missing updates – my wacom tablet died, and while the new one should be here soon, it has set me back on my schedule some. Hopefully I’ll manage to get a few new pages up this week despite this. Thankyou for your patience. 🙂

Schedule update and other stuff
Phew! It’s been a while. Okay. Here’s what’s going on.
Back in November, when I outlined my plan going forward, my original schedule was to roll out Chapter 2 when all of Chapter 1 was uploaded to Webtoons. Well, Chapter 1 is on Webtoons now, but with no Chapter 2 on this site as of yet.
When I first decided on the original plan, I knew I was being very optimistic. A few weeks into the new job I’d gotten around the same time, and I knew the plan would be near impossible. But I still wanted to give it a try.
I’m a fresh-out-of-school teacher, graduated this summer. They say the first year of being a teacher is the hardest – after 4 months, I’m inclined to think they were right. It’s been a wild experience on several levels, and I’m learning an incredible amount of things in an extremely condensed amount of time. In the last few months, the new experiences and the sheer drain of it all – including the mental drain of doing everything for the first time as well as long travel distances – left precious little time for comic making, and the time I did get has been more incidental than anything.
I’m not complaining, and I’m not disheartened – I’m still learning as I go, and that includes working on this comic. The purpose of this post isn’t to make excuses, but to restate this fact, and to tell any potentially worried readers out there not to be worried. The comic is coming. And I constantly work towards creating a schedule for myself that I can maintain. It might take a few, or a lot, of tries. But I’m determined to do it.
So, the new/current plan: I’m going to release Chapter 2, here and on Webtoons, when it’s ready. I have my own plans and inner hopes for when that might be, and I don’t like giving vague release dates, but I’ve decided that being vague is better than setting up a much too optimistic deadline that I can’t realistically reach. I need to give myself time to figure out how to balance my work life with comic making, and so this is the state of things until further notice.
There’ll still be new things to see on my blog (and my patreon!), and if you feel like sharing my work with others, know that it’ll be hugely appreciated. 🙂
Thank you all for your patience, and keep on being awesome ♥
