I&#8217;ve decided to change the series&#8217; update schedule from three days a week down to two days a week. Now instead of new pages every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, updates will be on Tuesday and Thursday instead. This was primarily a business decision. Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice eats up a lot of time. To try to stick to an every-six-months-book-release schedule, I&#8217;ve essentially been working 6 days a week, and with working on two other series at the same time, I&#8217;ve been working seven days a week. And unfortunately, not a lot to show for it. The biggest bringer of revenue for the site is ad revenue, but at the moment I don&#8217;t even make a dollar a week in ads. As such, I put off virtually every project I have, including ones that potentially could pay more in order to try to get Sorcerer&#8217; Apprentice posted every week. Which financially feels a little silly. I end up investing far, far more into producing the books that I ever see back. I know that could change, and I know a lot of you have wanted to buy the books and have been unable to. I&#8217;m working on rectifying at least a few of the obstacles to make buying the books a little easier, but Volume 1 has been available from Bwillett Comics directly for the better part of a year. You guys just aren&#8217;t buying them. And when I&#8217;m putting off paying projects to get a deadline I set for myself, I&#8217;m essentially being an idiot.<\/p>\n<p>What this does <strong>NOT<\/strong> mean:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0That Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice is canceled.<\/li>\n<li>That Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice is on hiatus<\/li>\n<li>That Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice v.2 won&#8217;t be available for purchase soon.<\/li>\n<li>That there won&#8217;t be future volumes past v.2 available for sale<\/li>\n<li>That updates will have huge gaps between them.<\/li>\n<li>That I won&#8217;t go back to 3 days a week one day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What it DOES mean:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I&#8217;ll only work on Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice on weekends at the same time as pages of Midnight Menagerie<\/li>\n<li>The updates will be less often so I can start pursuing paid projects and commissions. Girl&#8217;s gotta eat.<\/li>\n<li>That more commission spots are private projects will be available for you guys to take advantage of.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope everyone will respect this decision. It really, really wasn&#8217;t easy for me, because I LOVE Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice and working on the series, but I need to start using my time in such a way that I start seeing more results from my investments. The more popular Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice gets and the more money it makes, the more work you&#8217;ll see from me. Until that happens, this is just the path I have to take.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big update time that you guys need to be aware of.
