It's 3am, do you know where I am not?
In bed.
I wanted to post an update of some sort. I haven't been working on the next page. I was busy this past weekend and I've been feeling hammered on all week at work (hammered ON, I wish I was hammered...). But tomorrow is my Friday and I'm hoping I'm in the clear for some alone time with my computer on actual-Thursday.
It's so ridiculous. When I'm busy, all I want is to be left alone to figure things out. The second I DO get a chunk of time to myself for anything, I fucking blow it on Fiesta, the Sims, facebook or just stupid random drawings like this one. I don't know what I want anymore. A trip to Mexico, three bottles of tequila and some sunlight, maybe...
I am using a big hunk of time to work on Issue 14, which is yet unnamed and unfinished. This is...so unheard of that I don't even know how to handle it. Issues 1 through 13 were planned, placed and run as effortlessly (shut up, I meant mentally) as blinking. Now I find myself going "Shit, what happens next? Oh God that's my job!" and panicking. I really don't know WHAT happens at this point. I've got scenes, events and an end for GF, but no story. Some hurdles have been leapt, others are tripping me up and the rest are tied to my ankle and smashing everything in my wake. MADNESS. But I could drop the ending on GF at the snap of my fingers which has always comforted me in case of emergencies. Not to say I will, but it's there. Oh it's there.
If you've got any words of wisdom or inspiration, try me, but I can't guarantee they'll be effective. If you really want to help, find me some more of this tequila I got in Mexico that I cannot locate in the World Wide Web.

Wisdom:
Sounds like someone needs a co-writer.
Or:
I've always preferred vodka over tequila.
Inspiration:
You've set it up nicely for the next chapter to be Tlaloc and Ramses based.
Yeah, but I kind of miss Baxter and Roger. Yknow...the main characters? Anyone remember them?
And no, this tequila is my life-blood. And the only way I can get more is to spend another $2000 to go there and buy it for 250 pesos (and the Tlaloc container for 500).
I want the next issue to be a bit about Tlaloc, because he's great, but mostly about Baxter and Hina Ika. And Karen. With a side salad of Alex.
And that right there is the first step to writing a comic issue. Enjoy.
On a side note, who the hell is Baxter? =P
Well I say I WANT that, but so far it's getting sideswiped by our lovable and distractingly hot Tlaloc. Not a bad thing. There's a lot to explain and convey right now which is probably why I keep getting hooked up on it and nothing else.
BTW, did you ever get back onto Fiesta? I keep logging in to find you...
I've been getting busy with a mixture of trying-to-not-fail-school, insane parents and my own comic-related struggling, so I play at really weird intervals, but I do play for at least an hour a day (I'm slowly getting addicted >.<), on Legel under the name PsiZero. I'll be online maybe an hour after typing this message, possibly sooner.
A very dear friend of mine tells me "don't over think it" when it comes to me drawing or writing, or anything creative really... Took me a long time to realize what he meant. Maybe take a break and write out a script sans art and just relax while you're doing it. That way you'd get the story. It works reverse sometimes too,though. Just relax and see what comes to you, and know you've got readers behind you <3
I don't really have much that would help in this case ^^; I gave up on drawing a while back, I found that (dark depressing) poetry was my true niche. Maybe you should get a co-writer o.o
Thanks, guys. I'm not into the co-writer thing as most of the time one of use loses interest or the project is just too much.
I really really just want to go back to Mexico. There is no time there, I can just sit somewhere for hours quietly, it's sunny and the people are so great. If the reservoir opens here in town, I can kind of do the same thing, but there are generally 600 children running around.
I think I should start frequenting my tea room...
It's sad that I can't even think of somewhere to relax other than Mexico.
WHERE ARE YOUR CONTEST ENTRIES!
