Hey everyone, it's Mohchi here. Today marks an important milestone for my comic as it is now the first anniversary of my series When on High.
I know it's been a long time since I last updated and I want to give both an apology and a thank you. I am very grateful for all of my subscribers for staying with me for this long period of time and I know many of you have been waiting a long time to find out what will happen next. It's not much of an excuse but I've had some trouble finding the time to tackle a long session of drawing while I was at school, but coming back to summer break like when I first started my series I'm back to drawing again, as the picture shows. I wanted to finish this chapter and start posting in time for an actual update but I'll have to settle with this kind of update.
So the main things I want to say are sorry for the wait, thank you for staying with me for so long all of you subscribers, and finally happy anniversary to the comic and finally expect an update this month. I hope you all continue to enjoy When on High!

Hey Mohchi, are you going to continue updating? if you were occupied with your studies it's understandable that you wouldn't have time to draw, but do you think you will draw/upload any page in the future? I would love to continue reading your story, I truly liked it, it got me so hooked up it's already 5:19am > . < I hope you don't see this as some kind of forcing message, that's not my intention, I just would like to know if I can expect future uploads from this amazing series :s
Awww, it's so flattering to see how much you enjoy the series. I have the script for the next chapter and have been drawing, but I've been having trouble finding time to draw lately. I will definitely try, but honestly this has been an issue I've been dealing with, and I don't know how bad it will get once school starts again for me. But I will definitely try, sorry to disappoint!
It's not a dissapointment! D:
I'm incredibly happy knowing you continued drawing it and that you have been trying so hard for all this time. Studies come first, so remember that, as doing this comic is a hobby, you shouldn't feel bad for doing it nor for not being able to do it, so don't think again you dissapointed anyone. As long as you continue doing it with enthusiasm and excitement, I will also feel enthusiastic and excited for it, being you happy with what you do will make me also happy with it, so just have fun while doing it and don't overstrain yourself º u º)b
I will say it again just in case... a hobby is a secondary task, studies, family and friends will always come first, so don't think you dissapointed anyone, you have worked a lot, and you are working a lot, this is YOUR comic, and as yours, you decide when to update it, and also when to work on it and when to rest from it.
As you said you have been working on it, I guess you will continue working once classes finish and you have free time, so regardles of the time you need to continue/finish it, I will patiently wait for it, best of luck with your studies and thanks for sharing this beautiful story with everyone on tapastic ˆ ᴗ ˆ)/

So I will definitely try to continue my comic. I might need some time, but I sincerely hope you will continue to support me and wait for me. I hope I don't keep you all waiting for too long, but I do have some school work to get to xP (an exam tomorrow, a paper due the 20th). Thank you, everyone! Please wait for me, I hope I don't disappoint!

You can count on the Green Chicken, I'll stand by you and your comic... (BOOZIGNIAHHHHHH; I just sent you a love spell, heheheheee.....)
Eheh, sorry but I don't think I'll be needing it, the "someone" who has entered my life has me covered on the love aspect x) but thank you so much for your continued support
Yay! I so excited. I'm glad things have started to work out for you too! We will wait! *sits and stares*
oh no, not for me, for you and your friend, sorry about the mix-up!

Part 2 of 3
Here's where this post gets a bit personal.
One thing I feel I should address is this lack of motivation, so I took some time and thought a lot about one inspired me to start making my comic in the first place. In all honesty, over the summer, I was going through a pretty severe phase of depression in my life. Because of reasons I'm not quite comfortable telling you all, I had really low self-esteem, I was feeling very isolated from my friends, and I experienced a feeling of hopelessness. It was these negative feelings that drove me to write and draw my comic. I'm sure most of you have noticed some of the instances of low self-esteem in Micaiah, a big part due to the fact that a lot of Micaiah is based on myself. I wanted to write a story about a character who felt as if they were not meant to be a main character, a story about falls, yet a story where despite all of the tragedies that happened, a good ending can happen. That is the story I wanted to write.
Eheh, it's a bit funny to say, but I think a reason why I'm less active in drawing is that (fortunately for me, unfortunately for the comic) lately, someone has entered my life who has made me very happy, and I'm extremely grateful for that person. I have been able to move past my negative feelings because of the support I have received.
But despite my initial motivations changing, I still feel a reason to make my comic. Not to sound too preachy or "holier-than-thou," but the overarching plot of my story based on depression has not changed, and I feel that it is important to tell a story like that, even if only in the hope that it can let people know what it's like to be in that kind of mindset, or to let you all know how I felt during that time.

Aww. That's really awesome. T.T *Cries*

Hey everyone, Mohchi here! I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything, so I figured I should address the readers of my comic, you guys. This will end up being a long post, so I hope you all bear with me for a moment.
First off I want to say thanks for all of your continued support, and I'm actually pretty surprised because despite not posting anything new in a long time, I've been getting more and more readers. I'm thankful to you all.
To be honest, right now I've hit a bit of an awkward block on how to transition a scene in my script, and lately I have been at my laptop less and less. Believe it or not, I spent more time in front of my laptop over the summer than I have now, and the time that I am in front of my laptop I'm doing my schoolwork (honest, I am) so I haven't really taken the time to work on my script.

Hey guys, so if my schedule wasn't already messed up by my starting school, I have some even worse news... I seem to have gotten a new kind of malicious virus on my laptop. So I'm gonna need to get that fixed before I can function like normal. I'm so sorry about this, and I can only hope you all stick with me and wish me luck
Good luck fixing the virus!
Don't worry, we'll wait! :)
Good luck
The moral behind this all, don't download E-books in place of buying the actual textbooks, the cover page for the next chapter has already been made, just need to edit and upload
And another thing I wanted to ask about it for preferences of updates. One of my friends who is also a reader does not like how episodes are only parts of a complete chapter, and he would rather wait for a month to get the complete chapter all at once. This is something I would like all of your opinions on. Would you all like more frequent, shorter updates? Or would you all prefer longer wait time for more story? I am actually asking, so please give me your feedback!
Well as a creator I update 2 pages a week on a certain episode. That will keep my subscribers updated and make them feel that the series is ongoing. The problem now is if you are gonna wait to finish a chapter, it might take too long because your break is over. And you will only bump up your comic only once. So for me I dont mind shorter updates as you can compile them to a whole episode once completed... your friend will wait for that compiled episode anyways.
I'd rather have shorter episodes more often. It gives me something to look forward to each week. So yeah, probably short episodes per 1-2 weeks or so
Definitely stick with shorter episodes! I'm very forgetful and tend to forget what happened after a week, so a month? I'd have no idea what was going on. d:
Update more often with less content. This will help your comic in that it will be bumped more often, and, as stated above, it'll make the readers feel like something is constantly happening. If you update less frequently, you run the risk of readers forgetting what happened last time, oops!
Also, do what you want! This is your baby, and that means you can update however you like.
Hey guys! So important news I have to tell you all. My summer break is officially over, so I'm gonna be a lot busier than before. I'm still gonna try to update as regularly as I can, but I might be a bit slow with updating, especially over the next few weeks as I settle in. Regardless, I hope you all still join me as I attempt to try to handle this! Thanks for all of your support and wish me luck!
I hope you don't get too swamped! ^-^
Me too! Good luck in school
