"Housekeeping!!"

"Yes, come in. I wasn't doing anything weird or anything, haha!"

Alright, friends! I've done the math, and it loos like this arc will finish up around page 200, marking the end of Volume 1!
This has caused me to look back on what I've produced so far and motivated me to make a couple of alterations to the schedule going forward.
first off, 5-7 pages a week sucks, that's not a lot, only 20 pages a month on average. But for work reasons, that's the max I can do every week consistently...
I can, however, do 20 pages in two weeks, that's 40 pages a month! that's double the output!! That's double adventures with No'e every month!!!

So that's what I'm gonna do, 20 pages, every two weeks, starting next week!! (I know it's sudden, but break next week)

there will also be about a month hiatus after this arc is finished so I can redraw Chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 for printing. But after that, we'll face the Pirate Queen for volume 2!!
