Merry Christmas everyone! And to everyone who has already celebrated their holiday or have yet to do so or don't at all... well, have a happy what-have-you.

Sorry for the lack of news... there really hasn't been much news lately... we made the goal for the past two months (thank you to everyone who donated!) and plan on working on the previous book really soon (as I hope those of you who had Internet access and time to read comics last week despite holiday plans have noticed) I'm slowly getting used to the new schedule and have been getting the comics updated closer and closer to the time I should be updating... we're going to going on a trip next month, so somehow I have to actually get ahead... not sure how I'm going to do it, but I have to. Terrence is doing a little better as well, so hopefully everything will falling back into place soon.

I hope to have extra goodies in store for namirdeiter.net in 2007, but one thing at a time... happy the rest of 2006, everyone!

The fan center has been updated, for both Namir Deiter and You Say it First! Thanks to everyone who sent in art!

Ok, now onto some bad news... as some of you may recall, Terrence's day job is now his... very early in the day job. To put it easily: before he used to go to work at 6am in the morning. Now he gets home from work at 8am in the morning... his schedule was just about exactly flipped around. Being the kind of wife who enjoys spending time with her husband, I have had to flip my schedule as well. Unfortunately this shifts the time of day I work on the comics around and was not able to get ahead enough in my schedule where you all would not notice it- so instead of starting work early in the day like I used to, I usually start work on the comics around 9 pm or later (sometimes not even until Terrence is off at work). This has caused the comics to be updated at wonky times (mainly between 2 and 5 am on the update day instead of Midnight PST). Unfortunately I am at my brink's end. I'm exhausted and annoyed all the time (it's really hard to feel rested after sleeping in a room we can never quite get dark enough) and as hard as I work it never seems fast enough. So, until Terrence's job decides it's time to put him back on a semi-normal schedule (which they say should happen by the end of the year- but then again, they DID say he was going to have to go on his current schedule for about half a year now) comics will update as soon as they are done, no sooner, no later. I am really sorry and will try really hard to get myself used to this schedule and actually ahead again. Thank you all for your understanding through this very annoying time in my comics's history.

Yes, I'm switching to the graveyard shift at work, which is why comics are going to be late. It's a long story, but I wound up working my previous (day) shift on Saturday, which means we had this 38-hour gap between them. I'm not sure if it was two short days or one long day. It involved sporadic napping and I'm not sure if we had extra meals or not enough. Or what they're called. I think I had breakfast, then three lunches in a row. Anyhow, Isabel is rotating her schedule 240 degrees to match mine as well. We got a fair amount done, but none of it was daily comics, so we'll probably have those updated Sunday afternoon (PST)

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends who celebrate it, wherever you are. Everyone else... enjoy Black Friday.

A very important e-mail was sent out to donators from October, so if you donated that month, expect an e-mail. And if you have time, please e-mail me within the week- I would really love a response from as many of you as I can.

This Wednesday (Nov 15th) at 5:30 PM PST (8:30PM EST, 9:30AM JST, 1:30AM Thursday GMT) we're having an IRC chat. Come to #namirdeiter at irc.nightstar.net. Isabel and I will be there, as will a number of other fans. Stop by and have a good time. Come talk about Namir Deiter or any of our other comics. We recommend using mIRC or web access via http://www.nightstar.net/110.0.html. If you use mIRC, note that nightstar has closed port 6667. So use any other port from 6660-6669.

Welcome to another week of comics... first off about the IRC Chat- this is the last one we're going to be having for the year (since people will be going away from their PCs this time of year, we decided to give them a short break). They'll resume either late January or early Febuary. Thank you to everyone who has shown up to them!

I spent the last couple of days writing Sea Dreams Book 2 related things and hope to start work on last month's bonus book soon, sorry for the long wait! On the plus side, for this month and next, the two day a week bonus comics over at NamirDeiter.net will be a short story based in the Sea Dreams universe (although not having anything to actually do with the Sea Dreams story). In about a week or so it'll make more or less sense (or just confuse the heck out of you till New Years). Either way, it was a lot of fun to write and hopefully you all will enjoy it!
