So… things took a bit of a downwards spiral once I powered through Books 1 & 2. Those arcs were very very clear in my mind, however when I got to Book 3 – which contains part of the plot that has remained since I first started crafting the story (4 years ago, yowza) things have slowed down considerably. Why …
January is almost over, yikes! So it’s time to make some deadlines, as these next couple of months will be very crucial indeed. Overall descriptive summaries of each chapter are underway – I’m up to Book 3 now, and have made the goal to finish all the summaries on the remaining work by the end of the week. Next will …
One good thing to come from my computer issues is that I’ve been more focused on writing, which is a big ordeal I have to get in order before I start doing panel art. As I’ve stated in other blogs, Scrivener is a great choice for organizing/compiling large written projects. What was once 3 books has been transformed into 5. …
It’s been a while since I’ve made a formal post. Here’s what’s been happening… Went to Japan Enjoyed turkey via Thanksgiving Added 20 more notecards to the Oyasumi Yumiko story/outline Wake up to my Mac Pro being out of commission Planned revival of my personal blog The first thing, Japan was great – it’s a wonderful, safe country that I …
Oh de lally – the writing is still going strong. Over time it is clear that there is even more things that I had forgotten to include in my initial notecard/outline. In a way, this is great as it reaffirms my earlier decision to postpone starting the manga. Scrivener is proving to be a huge help for me – as …

So far I have found it extremely useful for working on large projects. The plan was for me to make a review of the program, but the gentlemen over at ScreenCastsOnline have already …
While working on my story for Oyasumi Yumiko I came across some very old drawings of Yumiko back when the story was just a shadow of its current self. Since I want to showcase the process of making this manga I thought that you guys might get a kick of seeing Yumiko in the early years and her final (hopefully) …
Turns out during the course of the convention I failed to provide daily posts on the con like I said I would. I’d like to give everyone a summary of how things went at the con. Things were a mixed bag. There were good and not so great things that happened. We’ll go ahead and get the not-so-great things out …
About 5 hours ago (since it’s now 2:30am ;D) I was getting my badge for the convention then busy trying to set up my overhanging display at the table. There were a few snags in the plan but things ended up working out smoothly. For those attending AWA I will be at B-7 : ) I will be posting a …
