A lot has happened since my last update (2022!). I have some regrets in not using my time more efficiently for personal work, but the past is past. You’ve probably noticed the progress bars on the diary page. My goal is to knock as much of these out over the next 5 years as possible. […]

A few beat boards I made for story #3. Character designs aren’t finalized yet, but I was chipping away at the re-write last year and managed to finish that a few months ago. The script is in good shape and I’m happy to tuck it away for now. Enjoy this tease.

Year 1

It’s my comic’s 1 year anniversary today. Finished cleaning 35/241 pages. Wish I could’ve made it further into the book, but it is what it is. Gotta keep moving. Thanks for reading, if you have been!

Sixth Step, Seventh Step

It’s the new year. I spent December working on other things in order to read my rough pages with a fresh eye. A few friends were confused about my last post and thought I’d stopped working on TWTHN completely. That’s not the case. One thing I’ve come to terms with recently is the length of […]

Here’s a little teaser for my 3rd story (title’s a secret for now). Needed to reset my eyes/mind before cleaning up TWTHN, so I spent the last 2.5 weeks writing out the first draft of this. It’s been in development for a very long time, so getting to this stage is a huge win for […]

Fourth Step, Fifth Step

I finally finished roughing-out the book. It’s 239 pages right now, which is pretty close to my initial estimate. Making it to the end was a real endurance test for me. I’m feeling conflicted about my pacing and the breaks I took in-between, but I think they were necessary to keep my head on straight. […]
