New Developments

Hello everyone,
Things have been busy for the past couple of months so my writing was a big stagnant. I got a part-time job recently working in a grocery store, its not a glamourous job but its enough to start paying off loans and getting financial worries off my mind.

Also I got new STUDIO SPACE!
Cloudscape Comics, the comic artist collective in Vancouver is part of a residence art program where we can get use of a building for our project for three years for free as long as we can commit to 350 hours of community service. You can find more info about it here: http://cloudscapecomics.tumblr.com/

So now I got new studio space- it helps me have an area for working on art and writing, seperate from my home where I can be easily distracted. (I still have the internet to contend with but so far its working well)

As for my writing, it was getting stagnant again. Although the ScriptFrenzy event was GREAT in getting me to start the script- the biggest issue wasn't the script but the setup of the events that didn't work and the characterizations needed work as well. One character I felt had nothing to contribute to the story, ended up being retooled to be a great catalyst for comic.

Overall I hope to get back to this blog and start updating more on progress (as well as posting up new artwork) and looking to finish the first draft at the beginning of next year- so that I can edit, finalize the draft and get started on the artwork aspect.

So wish me luck.
