| After far too long a wait, my editor finally freed up enough time in his schedule to take a look at my thumbnails. He called me the other day, and told me: “I can’t read these.”
(Deep breath.) My thumbnails are a mish mash of scribbling and notes, a code that only I can decipher, so I had been wondering how they were going to make sense of them. But they had assured me all would be fine and to just send them along. My editor apologized for the miscommunication and the time wasted. I’m fine with it. I’m trying to turn this discouraging news into something to celebrate. In order to provide them with something they can read, I have decided to pencil the entire book, and letter the entire book, and then send that. This will give them a very clear picture about the final product, and once corrections have been made, there will only be inking left to do. In other words, I’m finally working on the book, drawing full time, and participating in the life style that I’ve worked toward for a long time. It’s… pretty good. I penciled and lettered about 10 pages a day, so the whole book will be sketched out in only about 3 weeks. It’s a very quiet life. I go for runs in the morning and draw comics in my room. My lower back has been hurting so I ice it at night. I’ve also been icing my hands too, for good measure. I’m thankful that by the grace of God I have such a wonderful opportunity to try to make it as a professional cartoonist. I’m not abandoning the journal comic, it’ll be back periodically when I have free time. Thanks to anyone who’s been reading it! | 8 comments, Add Comment
