Week Work

Chilly mornings, warm days

The comic continues. I’m working on a “scriptment” - or perhaps I thought I was. Just looked up the definition and whatever I’m doing isn’t quite that… but I don’t think it really matters so long as it will eventually be useful in translating to an actual comic. It’s helping me think in panels and that’s a good thing.

I’m currently trying to nail down the beats and overall pacing. There’s a small one or two panel scene that I’m in love with but think I’ll have to cut. It involves a very large mountain goat threatening to introduce the main character to a Barre Power class.

To be perfectly honest, I spent a lot more time thinking about the comic this week than actually working on it. But I did work on it. Most of the week was spent reading, working, running, and hanging with friends and family.

Life is all about balance. Mountain goats get that. Even the one’s threatening you with Barre Power.

I’ve wanted to improve my desk situation for a while - there are journal entries from the first of last year about it. But this past weekend I finally went out and did it. “It” being to buy some unfinished butcher block, finish them, and actually replace the old desktops. A nice upgrade. Still need proper table legs, but that’s next year’s problem.
