Aah that sucks! Get better soon 💛

Actually very funny looking back to July last year when I was genuinely convinced that I would get out of hospital and get straight back to life as normal. 'I can do conventions,' I would say, before falling asleep for several hours from the exhaustion of getting dressed, haha.

If I can get one little project finished this year I'll be happy tbh.

Little frustrating given I just came back after having to cancel most of my events last year and I'd hoped during that time to at least have a lot of new stuff to show for it, but as it turns out recovering from a serious illness takes time and energy. Who knew.

Fran Morton | Open for work! @mortiscausa.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Next year I may take a break from doing conventions, or only do one or two events. Many reasons for this, including that I'm a student again, but also I think I just need time to make new things without feeling rushed.

This is making the rounds on Tumblr again, so I'm sharing it here for anyone struggling to put Accurate Boat Stuff in their creative work. (These are excerpts from my comic A Week at Sea with OHP, which you can read online here: lucybellwood.com/new-comic-a-...)

I have four on the go at the moment but I am trying to focus on finishing just one this year. If I am lucky I may get a second short one in after. Too many ideas, too little time, and also ADHD.

I'm not sure if I'd even bother making comics if I wasn't working on silly little personal projects. It simply doesn't pay well enough to kill your inner child.
