hey, does anyone know if nellie's okay? she hasn't been active in a while and I'm worried ;-;
Just letting you all know there's a chance there won't be an update tomorrow, I'm been having some issues with the drawing app I use so I may not get the pages done in time - I've been a little low on motivation as well :/ But if I'm not too wrecked when I get home from college tomorrow I'll try get the remaining pages done. Cheers <3
eHugs, Nellie.
No problem, do something good for yourself ^^
Hello everyone, there'll no update today unfortunately :( No big reason, I've just been distracted all week and didn't get around to making pages. Thankfully I get a break off college soon so I'll get back around to it quickly. Hope you're all keeping well!! <3
Take your time, and thanks for the heads up!
Don't worry about all that, take your time!
Hi everyone!
Unfortunately, there'll be no To the Touch update today - my laptop charger broke a few days ago and I've had to order a new one, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I can't make pages until it does. I'm sorry that it's sort of been calamity after calamity recently. Some good news is that I'm free of covid prison - I hope you're all keeping well too!!
An idea I had that might be a bit of fun during this hiatus based on how well Eva's shitpost interval went down would be (for anyone who wants to) to make To the Touch memes and send them to me via tothetouch@gmail.com. If I got enough I could make another shitpost episode, obviously crediting everyone however they'd like to be credited. But if no one's interested then don't worry, the hiatus won't go on for much longer anyway!
I'll see yous soon <3

eHugs, Nellie. Hoping your luck gets better.
Hope you get an effective charager soon! So glad you're Covid-free.
don't worry about the charger, sadly they break without warning all the time. Super happy to hear you're free of covid! i also think the meme thing is a great idea!
Hello guys.
So there's been a huge disaster. The word document that includes all of the plot of To the Touch, the character arcs and most crucially, the scene-by-scene playout and the dialogue, is all gone. Some files on my old laptop started disappearing - and I really mean disappearing, not just being unsaved or deleted, so I got a new laptop to prevent this from happening. But somehow it's happened again anyway, to the To the Touch file. Even though I had emailed it to myself a while ago, the email is gone too somehow.
I'm not in a great headspace right now because of this but I wanted you all to know because I might have a bit more difficulty getting the comic out, considering how big of a setback this is. It's not the worst thing that could've happened - I have thumbnailed a bit ahead in a physical notebook. But a lot of the crucial dialogue and moments in the story were ones that I hadn't gotten around to thumbnailing yet, and they are now gone. I'm going to rewrite all of that soon, as frustrating as that will be, because I love this comic to death and I'm not willing to give up after over a year and a half of work. Any support I could hear from you over this would probably help a lot - any fellow creator will know that this is one of the worst things that can happen to a creator, but sure, we'll persevere. I've learned a lot of patience from animating, anyway. Also, so you know, I quickly backed up all my other important works after I found out this happened, and I'll be printing physical copies too. I'm not letting anything like this happen again.
Thanks if you read this whole big long message, I know it seems very dramatic but that's how it feels!!! And thank you all for sticking with the story; knowing that you want to read To the Touch is a big motivator for me to jump this hurdle. Here's a picture of my dog to soften the blow.
Go raibh maith agaibh <3

God, that sounds absolutely horrible. I would scream my head off if that happened to me. Hope the issue gets fixed soon, and best wishes on your rewrite. Take all the time you need, we'll be patiently waiting.
Thank you all for the lovely messages!!! <3
Oh noooo! I feel you! Take the time you need! :)
That's awful and I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope your re-write goes well, take all the time you need to do it.
Omg Nellie that's so awful I'm so sorry! This is literally one of my worst nightmares so you're not being dramatic at all. Sending a lot of love your way xxx
no problem!! <3
Hi everyone!!! My new short film, How I Wonder, which I've been working on since March this year, is now up on my Instagram and YouTube. If you're interested, take a look and spread the word!! I'm really proud of this one, and the cast did an amazing job.

Oh, neat! I'll have to check it out.
Hi gang! So, about the DTIYS I opened last month - the closing date for that was supposed to be today, but I didn't get that many entries. Either I didn't give enough time, or I misjudged how many were interested. I'm going to leave it open for a while longer, and if no one else wants to enter then I'll judge it with the entries I've gotten. Don't feel pressured to enter if you don't want to though!!
Thanks so much guys, see yis Monday <3
Thanks so much guys, see yis Monday <3
Hi! As someone who sent something in I found the "deadline" quite tight, just for future reference. I hope the extension helps and you'll get a lot of new entries!
Thanks so much for the feedback Sarah <3
I will be submitting :D When I missed the end date I was so sad lol. I have a second chance!
LADS - I missed the anniversary of To the Touch!!! As of April 7th, I've been uploading four pages a week of To the Touch for an ENTIRE YEAR. That's ridiculous. I really wanted to do something special but I'm swamped with exam-stress at the moment, so, the celebration will probably have to wait a month or so - I'm thinking a Draw This in Your Style or a fanart competition of some sort? If you've got any ideas, let me know. Thank you all so much for following on this journey with Georgia and Bevin and me, whether you've been here since the beginning or you just subscribed yesterday!!!
That's amazing! Happy one year anniversary :D
Don't worry about doing anything extra for now. I really understand the exam-stress thing. (Going through it as well.)
Take it easy as much as you can, and I believe in you! Go obliterate those exams.

Thanks M!!!! This too shall pass for the both of us with the exams <3
Happy anniversary! Good luck on your exams :)
Happy anniversary! I think we're all in the same boat when it comes to exams, lol.
Hi everyone!!! Some brilliant news - my short film, 'buachaill' just won best animation and highly commended storytelling at the International Fresh Film Festival. I'm absolutely over the moon, and I know some of you have seen it so I figured I'd let you know. I also wanted to boast. I'm so so thankful to the cast and everyone that supported the making of 'buachaill', as well as the Fresh Film team!!!
Here's the short film in case you haven't seen it. See yis for a new episode on Monday as usual <3
