A Little Late But Worth The Wait

It's been nearly a month since my last post, a lot has happened, most importantly, the comic I've been after for years, is finally up and running. As of now there's only one page, but that's a lot better than none and page two will be up in half an hour. It's been a trying week only because I've had page 2 since Sunday and it's taken all my willpower not to post it.

I don't have too much to say, well, more like i'm not in the mood to say much, I just gotta keep up my 2 a month quota...and if somehow you don't know, go to Theblackdogs.net

Lifelines and Deadlines

The semester so far has been turbulent and I haven't had much time to write; though, as it stands I won't need to write all semester. The only fiction related class I have is Fiction Seminar and since I'm getting the first 4 chapters of my novel worked on I won't need to write anything new. So the only thing I've really been doing is reading a whole lot. I don't mind too much but it's...draining I guess. I wish I had the time to write but I guess this is one of those necessary dry periods that allow me to go all howitzer shark crazy like I did over the summer. I'm done whining...for now.

One thing that's been keeping me psyched is the fact that Black Dogs is fast approaching existence...like a greased up baby shooting out a....yeah let's just leave that metaphor alone...but it's true. Black Dogs will be premiering (hopefully) on Oct 21st which also happens to be my 23rd birthday, hurray for oldness. It's hard not to be excited when I see stuff like this.



I guess this has been the much needed lifeline to my creative sanity, I also need to stop being such a lazy ass and but the website...I swear if the URL is taken I'm going to stab myself and make everything all around unpleasant for...well me I guess. Alright I'll stop wandering off, this has been by far my most pointless post. I'm mostly posting out of self-discipline because I'd like to keep up at least two posts a month.

I'll be getting to work on some short stories soon, because I really want my third publication before I graduate and that means I'm going to be spraying a couple pieces all over the net around Christmas, which really means I need to start WORKING on said pieces.

Oh on another note I went to the Chicago Women In Comics panel at my school and got to see Spike, the artist/writer of Templar, Arizona a really cool webcomic you guys should probably check out. I've been bugging spike about the comic, and particularly webcomic business for like 3 years now. I ended up talking her husband's ear off about Black Dogs and he honestly seemed pretty down with the whole idea...and I feel like Sarah's art speaks for itself...so if I'm lucky she may throw me a shout out eventually. Only a couple of weeks till launch folks...I'm fuckin excited.
