Had a big deal back surgery for scoliosis. Been out for last couple days and will be for next few. I'm hoping to be back and active by next Monday.

Ouch, get better soon.
I've had a busy two weeks. I "celebrated" (got drunk for) my friend graduating from high school last Saturday and was still drunk on Sunday when I woke up. I've also been powering through Saint's Row IV, but had to stop today for The Wolf Among Us Ep. 4.
Sorry to those of you that are waiting on PMs from me.

Get well soon Drake. For a short week, it's been busy. Wrote the Diamond order Monday night for my friend who owns the LCS I go to. Its one of the things I do to help him out and keep the shop running, and it helps keep me in comics Also finished layouts Monday for the debut 8 pager for the Siren set to come out late this year in our anthology book. Amy is working on the full finished art for the first page, in between finishing up the coloring for a print commission Gary had and getting some stuff done for the coloring book (see below)-plus you know holding down that full time job as a banker and all that. Reviewed the lettering corrections I asked for on the latest issue of Cygann (#4)so we can send the book to the printers. The book was "in the can" when I took over editing the strip with #3, but there were lots of errors in the script the prior editor did not catch, so a bunch of lettering corrections were needed (same deal happened with #3). Five was pencilled & inked but not lettered when I came on board, so this is the last issue we will have to deal with imposing on the letterer to make corrections. The book is old school hand lettered,with paste ups on the page, so it is a pain to do it, unlike those lettered on the computer, but it needed done to make the book presentable and professional . Put the finishing touches on the magnets we will be selling at the con and store appearance in June. Got info on an alternate place to have Twilight Star t-shirts and hats made, as the guy who used to do it for Gary went out of business last year and we are basically sold out of them. My friends who own the restaurant have t-shirts made for the servers, and they got me the info on the place they use, so need to touch base with Gary, studio head to either get the info to him or get the ok and the templates needed to contact the shop myself and make arrangements for a price quote. Set up a meeting with the sales rep for a local publisher to go over requirements and get a price quote for the coloring book we are producing, and started coordinating who will be featured in it and trying to line up the artists so we can get that project moving forward. Also will see about moving the printing of our comics to them as our current publisher just raised their rates and minimum print runs, making it far more of an investment to get books printed than it was. Supposed to meet with them tomorrow, so we will see how it goes. Going back and forth with another studio member on him doing the art on a handful of flashback pages for a series we will be launching next year to give the flashback pages a different look that the events set in the present. It's a fantasy noir type series and he has a very chiaroscuro style that would look phenomenal in that context. I am slowly working on the art for a 3 page prologue that will appear int he anthology later this year, setting up the series launch for next year, but trying to get ducks in the row with that now. We were also talking about me scripting a story for his character, the Crook, and kibitzing about the plot for that. Next up doing inventory of the prints we have left and seeing about getting more done for the con on June 7 and store appearance June 14th, and getting the 3 page story by Kevin lettered by the weekend. All this on top of working my regular job and trying to get a couple of projects done around the house to get ready for the summer (ah the joys of home ownership). It's a rare time when Monday not being a holiday would have made things easier this week, as a lot of folks I needed to touch base with were not open for business. Somewhere in there I started jotting down thoughts and notes on arcs for Secret Defenders, but haven't gotten much beyond that point yet. The temptation though has been to crack open the Barry Windsor Smith Conan archives that arrived in Saturday's mail and lose myself reading, but I've got too much going on this week and next for that. So yeah, that's how the week's been..and my Sox got off the snide of a 10 game losing streak and have now won 3 in a row... -M

I have had a relatively basic week for me. I volunteer at a youth centre three days a week doing admin stuff, and on the off days I'm doing chores around the house/looking for a job. Although this week my parents have gone away for the week so it's just me and my brother but all that's really meant is we have to cook our own tea and I have to catch a bus to and from volunteering.

I finished school and am now job hunting. I am also a game on the Roll20 site but we are unfortunately full right now so I won't be asking for you guys to join. I will also be looking for stories to write (3 issues in advance because you can never know if I will keep to a schedule) and am doing well. Also, I'm back and let's hope the next time I disappear it will both be a long time from now and I will be back in less than a week.

I haven't done much this week other then working. I did pick up Watch Dogs for PS4 on Tuesday. It's ok, seems like GTA with hacking. I had more fun with Infamous Second Son, but hopefully the story picks up at some point. Got Mario Kart for the Wii U today and so far it plays like every other Mario Kart which is a good thing. I have a wedding to go to tomorrow and then I believe a Viewing on Sunday. So I go from one couples life beginning and another one that has been torn apart. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum.

Getting to finals soon, work just lost three framers so I'm getting all kinds of hours. Still making good progress on writing, thankfully. Took three days to get laundry done and I haven't touched my books for my exam Monday. /sigh But we got grilling supplies, so that will be totally awesome.

So how is everyone doing right now? I just managed to get halfway through Deadpool, sent it to thetrueelc to edit, and am getting interest back up for Ultimate DC. Otherwise, I am currently bored.

So, my computer isn't connecting to the new router we set up even though everything else (phone, Xbox, other computers, etc.) is. I'm hoping I can figure out what the problem is tonight, but for right now this puts a delay on certain things I was planning on doing today, like claiming Manifold and the Purifiers and writing issue #1 of AXM. There's a whole bunch of reasons why I need my laptop to do stuff. This shuts me down considerably.

Made it through last week, and things are looking up again, finally. Work to do, but it's all manageable so far. That's more then I get half the time. Last week almost killed us though.
This time next year things should *knock on wood* be easier, more stable and even moving in a nice direction. Just have to make it through this first.

I've had ideas for another project separate from this site for awhile and I've been spending a lot of my time outlining that. I did start X-Men #2, but apparently my laptop can't handle Spotify and Word at the same time and it overheated.
