So Jason, my colorist, sent me the 2nd Chance page, and it looks terrific (as demonstrated below the cut) and I told him so. He wrote back to say, “Don’t get too excited yet, this guy whose work I really admire is giving me pointers on how to make it even BETTER” and asking me to bear with him if he was a little slower doing the pages than he said he’d be, because he was getting all kinds of private tutorials and improving his craft. That is just about…
important life lesson learned:
Do not, when you have gotten up early and swum and come home through the pouring rain, put on floppy pants and a t-shirt and wrap up in a robe and socks that made you to warm up and sit down to do your writing, because you will discover, 345 words later, that you really, really think you need a little nap, and since you’re wearing all these floppy comfy clothes anyway, it seems like an especially good idea, and then it will be two hours later and after noon…

Thinks to do today, revised: – sign up for spanish classes (check) – get cat food (check) – discover an EXTREMELY HUGE CRUISE SHIP in at the harbor and spend an hour wandering around Cobh taking pictures (check) – pick up a GN and say hello to (check) – shop (not a chance in hell) – write more (maybe) – laundry (ahahahahahah) It’s been an incredibly nice day.
