It might not look like much to you, but this is quite an achievement. After a month or more of procrastination, I've got Romeo and Juliet back on the drawing board and drawn the first actual page in an entire year!
Back in May I posted that I'd finished writing the first draft of the book. I hoped to start drawing it then, but all I managed was, two weeks ago, laying out half a dozen pages. That felt like progress, and now this feels like more progress.
All I need is to knuckle down, get a run of unbroken days at my desk doing nothing but drawing this book, and I could crank the whole thing out by the end of the summer. Then I look at my diary and see: next week I'm in Northern Ireland doing classes all week, the following week is five days of classes across six days from Hull to Nottingham to Basingstoke to Leicester, you get the picture.
I shall continue to get drawing done whenever I can, and do the classes to pay the bills until then. If anything emerges by the time of The Lakes in September that would be great. If not Thought Bubble in November will be my big launch date.
There will be a Kickstarter. But first, let's keep making the book.
