 I've probably done my share of teaching. Promised myself 7 more years, but will it happen? Is it good for anyone? There are moments when I feel that it is for a purpose.

One or more

 One thing remaining to do of Sirkusprinsessa book. Also covers and title pages. I'd say I'll manage to do the one thing tomorrow, although not necessarily. Next stage is scanning, lay out. Monday I will maybe start the third collection of short stories, or at least cut the pages. Third one should be totally pictureless, that is the plan. Plans do change, so we'll see, we'll see unless we go blind.

Finalizing

 Started to finalize a book called Sirkusprinsessa. Should be out sometime next year. Otherwise struggling to find funding for all the other books.

Maybe

 Sirkusprinsessa maybe coming out next year. Around 200 pages, short stories, Asema.

Times are...

Know

 Don't know, but started to feel that it is a bit too hard getting a book out. Ateneum3 is being scanned and cleaned, but still I'm lacking funding. One year to go to conclude the series or sort of conclude. After that need to figure out some new way of working. Maybe. 

Slow

 Things moving slow. I have 17 finished pages for Ateneum4, aim to have 24 before summer. All and all the whole book should be done year from now. Book 5 is in plans but not absolutely necessary. 

Meanwhile I have 4 other books ready and waiting for funding, one very small book that I plan go do during the summer and third book of almost pictureless short stories. 

But things are in a bit of a standstill. 

The English translation of Läskimooses is done, Lola Rogers did an excellent job. Plans to publish exist but no timeline.

Un

 Unlikely

A3

 

Going

 Going to make some additions to Ateneum3, going to continue Ateneum4. Four needs writing, don't have any finished scripts, needs to be done. Three will probably be 72 pages although it was supposed to be 64. At this moment I prefer to draw, so I will. Will draw the back cover and will draw an additional page. 

Something happened

 

Glanced

 Glanced through Ateneum3, many thing seemed to function quite good, some spots might require SOLUTIONS, or maybe not. When there's a lay-out I'll be wiser. This book will be quite quite different from book 2, as book 2 was different from book 1. 

Am I more confident with this than I was with 2? I don't know. The book was done during a really stressful period of my life and the reviews of book 2 were short, few, and not so sweet. So, we'll see, we'll see...

Lately

 

Good

 Didn't do much good. It was what it was.

Recently

 

Well

 Well, there's really no way A2 could win so called SF award. Easy enough to figure it out. LÄskimooses could've, SR could've, A1 or 4 just barely could've/could. Two reasons I wouldnt mind seeing some my book win: a. I like the cash b. Would be interesting to see whether I really would not accept the price, which has been my general FEEL all these years. Well, we'll never know, will we?

One page

 Theoretically I should be able to do 2, even 3 pages in a week. But with classes and everything else going on one page in a week is realistic. Maybe when the book gets going, but it hasn't. I would prefer to be a bit faster, but apparently not. Thursday I got slowed down with the text, today I just ended up struggling with a doomed panel. Monday I will be able to continue.

Enough

 Haven't done enough

Late

 Is it too late

Progress

 Some mistakes were made, but got the first page of Ateneum4 started. If very lucky, I will finish it today.

Teaching

 Just one of the things I need to stop doing
