Line in the Sand

Soooooo... where have I been? Man. I am not even sure. I always let my projects suffer everytime I go through some sort of emotional conflict, and its about time I grew out of that.

Blazes and I broke up, after lots of issues mainly revolving about the fact that he freaks out and acts like a dick sometimes. I can say that because even when I was trying to break into comics, he never read this blog even once. Meh. Maybe that should have been a sign? You know. The total lack of interest thing. Or something.

Anyway, despite the breakup I am not actually all that bitter, but all the stuff that happened before it is why everything stopped updating. It started with the comics, and then spread through everything and now... well Its not a problem anymore.

However, I can't just pick up where I left off with all of the things I was doing, because to be honest, I have a pretty crap methodology and the threads are much harder to trace than you would think given the final product. Anyway, heres my plan reguarding the the comics.

My Thingie: I tried to take this in too many directions when I should have just kept it as I intended it, just a cute little journal to capture the funny things that happen sometimes and maybe ask a few serious questions about stuff. I felt pressured to make it into more of a thing after a huge fight about money. My Thingie will go back to being cute stories that happen, three times a week. With maybe some topical content but nothing live action. I will be making lots of these in advance and posting them up.

Felicity Jone: I got really into the planning stages and was let down by my crash-prone image editor. I know they say a poor workman blames his tools, but even Michealangelo would have given up on David if his hammer and chisel kept deleting all his work every time his assistant popped up to see if he had any viruses. I want to tell the story as I have spent a lot of time on it, and will be working on pages using a new editor which is kinda laggy sometimes but thats probably just because I am doing too much on my computer. I do not know when I will be able to start uploading FJ comics, but it probably wont be on Drunk Duck.

Nuffink Doin: Another casualty of the money argument, but also I found it hard to draw and write about people who had lives when I was under pressure not to have one at all. So chah. I will redraw and revive Nuffink Doin and start posting comics up on Drunk Duck after I have revived My Thingie.

Other Stuff: I am part of the Manga Team for my gaming guild, we will be producing comics based on our characters from various games and posting them up online someplace. I will be the main penciller and organiser, but it wont distract me from my other comics.

Exercise is Really Boring: I will continue with my workout diary from day 1 attempt 2 starting soon. I really didn't feel like working out when we were arguing all the time, so I ate chocolate and cakes instead and now I am paying the unhealthy-out-of-breath price. Also we got a puppy. They like to try and eat you when you use a skipping rope or do pressups.

Contextualise Meh: My studies have been suffering but that will not continue! Contextualise Meh will be updated at a rate of one per day starting soon, and I will start sending off a bajillion and one emails to all of the people I feature in the blog, and informing you of any replies.

My Website: Nooooooooooooot gonna happen this year. At least not in this capacity.

And Elsewhere: I am persuing a few options for earning muhlah, and whilst prostitution isn't one of them, its something similar. I will be cagy about it until I know if I can do it or not, but yeah, expect youtube videos and stuff when I start that one.

If you're wondering how I will achieve all this... well I waste a loooot of time doing stupid stuff that just gets me depressed anyway, so this should distract me nicely. Luff and Stuff - Ree aka SR.
