The writing is coming along slowly, with only 8,000 words in two weeks. I’m not worried about my output, simply because it takes a while to get into the swing of things. Seven finished novels has taught me that. Also, the editing of past projects remains a do-a-little-each-day thing, until all past projects are completed. When it comes to the new work, time management has become an issue. I can concentrate fully on books for only so long before I need a break, and art makes for a good distraction. The comics will become a much-needed platform, so must fit into my overall work schedule. One hand washes the other. The problem: How do I remain productive with both? Maximizing output is important to me, especially now. I’m toying with the idea of four days on with my books, and three days working comics. That will allow me to give both endeavors prolonged, concentrated bursts of creativity.

Actually, that sounds like a plan. I’ll let you know how it works out. See you next week.
