There is a new vote incentive up: my cat Cleopatra was helping me work on a page for next week and I took a picture. I’ll be working on a batch of pages tomorrow morning so that I can get a larger number of them uploaded for automatic updates, meaning I will have less scurrying to do the night before, and that I can work on the next story.
At this point it appears that the next story will be a 15-20 page fairy story done in ink on watercolor paper. Depending on how much of it I can get done while still running Emma, I may change the update schedule for more frequent updates, but I’ll let you all know when/if that happens.
I guess what I do next doesn’t really matter too terribly at this point what I plan on doing after that project, but I’d like to keep ahead of things. I’ve spent a year and a half drawing the current story, and it won’t take me that long to get through it online. I probably could update more than twice a week, but I’d run through my material pretty quickly and I’m terrified that I’ll finish Emma, finish this next project (it is really short), and have nothing else well enough developed. Luckily, I have some time to work on that, and bits and pieces of a couple of things that I can play with while working on coming up with the next longer piece. And if I get really stressed over it, I can quiet down the panicky parts of my brain with pretty pictures of Volkswagen busses. It works wonders.
