I hadn’t done a post on this in a few months, so I thought I would give you all a look into what’s going on with the sequel and what’s going on with the release of book 1.<\/p>\n
Book 2 – The Writing Goes Ever On<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>I won’t lie, I am grossly behind my self- imposed schedule for starting this book. \u00a0I had hoped I would be drawing book 2 months ago, but it just hasn’t happened. \u00a0The script has been very hard to wrestle to the ground and get right. \u00a0Either it’s too long, not interesting enough or just seems conflicted with the characters… \u00a0It’s just not gotten there yet. \u00a0And it hasn’t been from lack of trying.<\/p>\n In many ways I look back on 2013 and see what feels like an unproductive year. \u00a0I know that is not the case. \u00a0I’ve had two successful Kickstarter campaigns, launched my webcomic for Adamsville and had my busiest commissions year ever. \u00a0But when I look at the comics works I’ve made all I can see is one script for a book I won’t produce and a number of drafts for Adamsville book 2. \u00a0The sad thing about writing, when you make comics, is it feels like you’re not doing much in the end.<\/p>\n It’s really a false statement though. \u00a0That’s a lot of work! \u00a0lol. \u00a0And hopefully that work will make the production end of book 2 much smoother and exciting. I have to keep reminding myself that I have been making a comic all year. \u00a0Writing is the foundation of it all. \u00a0I think it’s going to be worth the effort, if the current draft is any indication.<\/p>\n I’ve learned a ton through this process and realize just how much I didn’t know before. \u00a0I wrote most of my stories by the seat of my pants, just letting intuition guide me. \u00a0Which is great, but sometimes intuition misses things that matter and they come back to rear their heads much later on. \u00a0The struggle this year has presented in writing I think will pay dividends for the rest of my life when it comes to writing and doing it more effectively.<\/p>\n Book 1 – The Road To Print<\/strong><\/p>\n I approved the proof for book 1 just about a week ago. \u00a0I’m still terrified I messed something up, though I have no rational reason to believe that after having reviewed the documents over and over and over again. \u00a0 But I can’t wait to see it. \u00a0I’m hopeful to get a physical proof in the next few weeks. \u00a0Once that happens I will set up preorders and all so we can start getting this thing out there to everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I hadn’t done a post on this in a few months, so I thought I would give you all a look into what’s going on with the sequel and what’s going on with the release of book 1.
