Again, sorry guys the previous thread got deleted when I was cleaning up the tagging issue. We lost the a day's worth of check-ins.
This is your daily check in. Post your accomplishments, your failures and your futures.

We've just moved to a new place, and the dust is finally starting to settle. We still have boxes, but I've started to get back into some of the projects I'm working on. I'm in the middle of some anthology stories, and a couple of longer things, all in various stages of completion. Looking forward to getting back into a regular routine.
Saw the roughs today for two short stories I've written. I've been given the go-ahead to start working on the dialogue for one of them (there was a page added which means I'll have to make some adjustments here and there).
I guess that's doing the work. Hi, I'll be unreliable.
pages from the same project that I'd scanned in the day before and did some Photoshop tweaking to them.
Then I thought about the running order of the stories for the erotic anthology I'm pulling together and
put some thought into what artists I have floating around that might be
able to do some work on the incomplete stories.
I also paid the invoice on a print job for book 5 of Oceanus Procellarum. I will actually have the complete series in print for SPX.
This is not quite current news, but it hasn't been mentioned around here yet, so...
I did a small series of interviews with comic book creators which was hosted at the Crystal Fractal Comics news blog. The complete set of interviews is right here. Scroll through, and you'll find a few familiar names from P&P and this site too.
Gradually, they're going to start being housed over at www.comicbookinterviews.com as well.
It was a fun experience for me, and I may start it back up again later in the year.
I was at a housewarming party and had a conversation with an artist about comics last night. It wasn't exactly making comics, but it certainly was nice to talk to a fellow traveler with more or less the same points of view.
Also a profile of Rodolphe Topffer that I wrote up went live this morning.
I got a reasonable amount done this weekend, all on anthology projects.
*paged out/plotted a 12 page story.
*started scripting a 9 page story from the artist's roughs.
*made some corrections on finished letters for a 5 page story.
*emailed editors, sent off a few submissions, and did some housekeeping type stuff on other projects.
Let's see if I can keep up this pace. Fingers crossed.
them up into a single PDF that i sent through Lulu for rapid
prototyping. I ordered two copies, one for each of the people who have
offered editorial assistance. I should have them in-hand by the middle
of next week.
In a lot of ways, Lulu represents the old project management saw about "Cheap, good, fast - pick two." It's fast and it's good, but man, it's not cheap. But for rapid prototyping something that you want to hand to an initial reader, it cannot be beat. And the obvious benefit is that a reader can write notes on a paper copy and hand it back, which is much more difficult with a PDF.
