Declaration of Continuance (db pgs 103-105)

Okay, friends. Steve needs to talk to ya. Gather round. Grab some cookies and punch. No hitting, come on.

I'm really excited about the story, but I'm having a mid-project crisis. In august, I had been doing drawn bad for a year. Now it's almost November. A year and quarter. That's a long time to keep your (or at least my) brain focused on one thing. If the comic was more difficult to do, I might have stopped a long time ago. I've stopped better projects than this because they were hard.

Commitment is weird. I didn't mean to commit to tell Malcomb's story, and I certainly didn't expect it to be this LONG. But here I am. If you or anyone are ever going to understand Malcomb Keyes and his "issues," then I have to put lead to paper. Them's the facts.

Well, it is hard. My life is busy and full. I've got a little girl and a wife and a job and a college degree that needs earning. But I am willing, reader. It is hard, but I will press on! (trumpets)

I think I needed to make some kind of declaration, to renew my commitment. Well, I think I just did. Weekly updates? We'll have to see. But more frequent updates? Planning on it.

Eyes open, stranger.
