Sorry this went up a little late. I was trying to figure out how to pull this one off. Anyways, there you go Memor-X! Hope that answered your question.

I just check on our page views using WordPress stats. Now bare in mind, a good day for us on this site a year ago was around 500 views. I was so happy to be in the hundreds. Then I decided to start advertising again on sites like Dueling Analogs, Errant Story, and Girly. Our hits started going into the thousands, making me happier. I thought it couldn’t get any better.
On July 1st, we hit a record high of 10,673 hits.
Wow people. WOW!!!
We’re now averaging around 7,000 hits a day. This is truly incredible, and I feel so loved. Thank you everyone for all that you’ve done. These past 7 years of working on this web comic have been a blessing for me, and I’m happy to keep working on it. You all make it worth it.
I figured by now, you readers must have several questions/comments to make about the series as a whole. So I’ve decided to go ahead and open up submission for said questions, to be answered at the end of Chapter 8. My favorite questions will have a special comic drawn for each one, with the characters answering them. So if you’d like your comments and questions to appear at the special for Chapter 8, either e-mail me, or leave them here under this blurb!
Alacrity (noun)
cheerful readiness, promptness, or willingness (dictionary.com).
Instead of her usual dread, Amanda decided to go into her math final with a feeling of alacrity. She figured having a better attitude would help her get a better score. (I just made that up).
Since people liked the use of the word “respite” in the comic, I think that I’ll be posting a random vocabulary word each week in hopes of increasing everyone’s vocabulary (including my own).
Before we start, let’s get a definition of respite. Used as a noun, a respite is, “a delay or cessation for a time, esp. of anything distressing or trying; an interval of relief: to toil without respite.” (dictionary.com)
And now, for the word of the week. This week’s word is mar, a verb that means “to damage or spoil to a certain extent; render less perfect, attractive, useful, etc.; impair or spoil: That billboard mars the view. The holiday was marred by bad weather.” (dictionary.com).
Yeah… I use dictionary.com for the definitions. It’s a nice resource.
Try and see if you can use the word either in writing or in conversation, that way you can increase your vocabulary (for example, I used this word in a short story). The word of the week will be posted at the bottom of my posts if I have something else to say. I hope you all enjoy~
