EDIT:  I just finished redrafting Joshua's book!  WOO~

It can go and indeed it has gone to my beta readers now.  So happy.  I actually did it in like, 2 days o.o 

Soon there will finally be people I can talk spoilers with.  Soon X3

And I can get on with those books I need to review.

EDIT:  I just finished typing up Joshua's book.  Haha, if this was for NaNoWriMo I would have failed, because it's 4500 words short XD 
But that means I can start redrafting now!  YAY! :dummy:

EDIT: Yesterday sucked for reasons I don't want to go into and also I have migraines again but last night I stayed up until 1am finishing Joshua's book.  It's not a working draft yet, there is a point where I had a scene missing because I HAD to skip ahead or stop writing and there is probably so much useless nonsense in there that needs to be cut AND I kinda had to hand write the last chapter but aside from getting it typed up, it's DONE. 

IT'S FREAKING DONE.

YES.

I AM GOING TO HATE THE REDRAFT SO MUCH.  But that's okay.

BECAUSE IT'S DONE.

CAPS LOCK IS NECESSARY.

Bit of a meh weekend.  For one thing, I am fed up of being ill at cons.  It does not help my sales at all if I'm too ill to make an effort and since I have no fanart or anything to attract customers without going 'HEY I WRITE THINGS LOOK AT ME' I have to talk to people even if all I want to do is go to sleep on the table, which I occasionally do ^-^; 

I did manage to sell 15 books (half what I wanted) and a couple of comics and magnets while I was there, and I got an idea for something after watching a talk on making cosplay horns and wig styling.  If I actually manage it, you'll no doubt get to see the results on DA.

I also managed to hand write about 1000 words more of Joshua's book.  I need to type it up today and see.  My writing has crawled to a halt because I kind of know what I want to happen but getting it to happen is hard.  Details are hard, guys. 

I also keep thinking I want to start up a YouTube channel but I am unsure what I would put on there and I kind of want to review tea and I dunno, maybe that would be really boring, but I REALLY like tea, okay?  I'm British, what do you want?

So anyway I have no idea what else to write.  I'm sorry for the continuing comic drought, I promise that I haven't stopped caring I am just too busy at the moment, please be patient.  Also contest prizes and FCF, I know, I know, I'm sorry.  It's just that it has become increasingly apparent that I need to get a new book out as soon as possible, which is not really dependent on me, but it doesn't help if I drag my heels and don't get my drafts done. 

I do really want to draw something though, I'll just have to see I guess.  Good news is, I think I can finally write/read/draw without a migraine now.  I -think-.  We'll see.

Thanks for reading~

'I'll get a job', she'd thought. 'Earn my own ticket,' she'd thought. Lucinda's parents had agreed that it was a good idea. 'It'll teach you some responsibility,' they'd said.  

Lucinda was currently staring down a dragon, dressed as a man, on only her first day in gainful employment. She suspected her parents would not think it such a good idea if they knew.

--------------
"Ambrosia. The Drink of the Gods. Thick, syrupy and vanilla flavoured, for some reason. It also contains enough calories to kill a mortal on the spot, so it's just as well that mortals are no longer mortals by the time they finish drinking it. Like Seralina, for example. She hadn't really meant to become a god. She hadn't taken the warning 'This will make of ye a god' seriously. It was her general policy not to trust any claim beyond 'It tastes all right, really'. She certainly didn't trust anything that sounded made-up or used words like 'dynamic'. Going round trusting words like 'dynamic' could get you into trouble. As it turned out, so could ignoring warning labels."
