Not literally, of course! But between some seriously annoying technology problems (99.9% due to my computer ignorance) causing me to fall behind, and me frying endless brain cells as I try to finish typing up six 22 page comic scripts for my pretend mini-series... I have not done well with "Intro to Comic Book Art." But that is no judgement on the class or the instructor. It's alllll me and my wretched luck lol!
I think what I need to do is back off of art for now and focus on this 6 issue mini-series comic script. This is a continuation of what I have been learning in the "comic book writing" classes at Comics Experience. Since I am a hands-on learner I am writing this as if I had the goal of submitting it to a publisher and for the express purpose of learning by doing.
Soon this beast will be typed up and ready for serious revisions. I am utilizing Comics Experience's brilliant service of hiring one of their various professional comic book creators for a "one-on-one" critique session. They sell these in 3-hour packages for what I believe is a really good price.
There are no free lunches in life! If I am ever going to make it as an artist and a writer then I need to invest blood, sweat, tears, and also money towards learning the actual technique (Minor detail!)
Phhhhpppt I'm so tired I can hardly type. We have a new puppy and she is sound asleep on her cushion - and obviously dreaming of chasing chickens and barncats from the looks of her legs going 100mph lol!
I will share my mini-series script after a few more revisions. And I have not given up on art, I am just going to have to focus on this first, get it finished, actually see it through to the end!

Joined another CE class!!
This Comics Experience place rocks! I've just finished the Advanced Comic Book Writing class (I'm going to re-take both writing classes in the future) and now I've signed up for the Intro To Comic Book Art class. Which starts August 30th so I have a month to do some serious perspective practice before I have to dive in...
My birthday in two countries...
Wow I've never done this before! It has been a very crazy birthday today: starting in France and ending in Scotland, celebrating my birthday in two countries LOL!
On a cool note: I share the same birthday as the Transformers artist Casey Coller. That's rather cool! :-)
Ok, I'm sitting here in a hotel room in Edinburrrah (Edinburg) and starving. Time to go find some food. I sleep the night here and then tomorrow I am finally home with my dear husband and kids. Yay!!
A Typical Day On Our Farm...
Ever wonder what life is like on a farm in Scotland??

A Typical Morning On the Farm...
6:30am
We wake up to the alarm clock and gaze, stupified, at one another through bleary eyes. "The kids only woke us up seven times last night." Erlend declares with a grin. "What an improvement!
We thank God for the minor miracle.
7:30am
We both wake up with a start and realize that we've overslept. Again. The children are awake and screaming for their breakfast. I dress to the mournful strains of Inga repeatedly howling from her room, "I want ouuuuuuuut! I want ouuuuuuut!" Accompanied by Benji wailing and Elspeth screaming. One of my eyeb
Turn your back and look what happens!
So I go away for a mini-vacation on a monastery island where me, my husband, and our three kids can enjoy some solitude and some time unplugged from modern life. (In other words, no phone, no Internet, no TV etc.) Then I return home to find that while I was gone one of my stories ended up as a Daily Deviation. WOW!! That was a surprise! Thank you all so much for reading "Data Crunch" and for leaving lovely comments. (My writing came to a screeching halt when I realized that I needed some training. So I have been busy with some writing classes with Comics Experience. I will soon have an actual 5-page comic to post! And I hope to return to writ

Read an interesting article about a pre Stonehenge discovery on Orkney, a large complex that predates the pyramids. Sounds like your little island has some big secrets buried under the rolling fields.
