 I have 2 books going. Like going for real. Meaning I have pgs I actually am working on and all that. And then there are the other books tha...

 Looks very much like 5 books coming out next year and going unnoticed haha. But besides these I have 3 that are very close of being finishe...

 I should concentrate on teaching, shouldn't I? Because there is at least some progress. 

1. Work on another opera 2. Write 4 film or tv 3. Finish 40 or so books 4. Ballet 5. Text adventure game 6. Have a book out in English

 Left 2 rot. Maybe B.E.M.#28 Would mean: Vajoava Ateneum, book one is #29  Unnamed collection is #30 Nakupelle is #31 Vajoava Ateneum, book ...

 Getting really close to the point where the only conceivable way of publishing is reading the stories out loud by the kitchen table to a se...

 Very little progress this month. 

Could I now get three good things in a row, instead of, well you know...

 I theory I could at this moment try to get my books translated. Some of them, somewhere. But my next book is moving along quite nice, writi...

 50 pages left to do of my Ateneum book part 2. Probably more, but yes 50.

 There's the option of not to publish and it's tempting.

 Weekend will be disgusting

  Was about to loose faith with this one for so many times. I think first ideas for this book date at least 5 years back. Above are the last...

 

 Oh well, two books out and Helsinki festival is drawing near. Looks like I will be around. Will do signings. 

 I wrote a book. 4 some reason it was real hard to do. Had a break from it for 3 months. Now I'm like: "it actually works". Va...

 

 This would be a good time 4 last post ever.

 There's this one book. An US translation has been planned for 10 years soon and still: nothing, pretty much nothing. Imagine! AND befor...

 Although I'm supposed to be at the Helsinki comics festival, I'm not sure if I will. Nothing for me there.

 Two books now at printer. Crossing my fingers.  -Working on a small collection of short stories. Should be done or almost September. 2024 -...

 I've made books. Most of them published in France, some in Sweden. Never had an agent, don't enjoy crowds, can't promote my own...

I lean on Mclean.

 Zero interest

 Something happened. 

 

 The new book is now drawn. It's the first of four. Supposed to be. Part of me really not certain about this one.

 

 Just now I don't have the money, but I can make this list anyways: Books 2 get: 1. Osamu Dazai, ei enää ihminen 2. Georges Perec, häviä...

 I don't know if I want to do any of these books. 

 I will soon have drawn the first part of my Ateneum-book. Starting with part 2 in April. The first book might take 10 years or more to come...

 You have absolutely no idea of what kind of book it's going to be.

 Are u getting curious?

 It's like magic. I just thought of 4 panels that are absolutely needed. Just when the book was almost done. It'll take a lil bit lo...

 Or 4 and half, 5? Less than 10. Less than 6! Pages left. The first album almost done. Will it be 4 color, not sure, that was the plan. Will...

 Proof reading the collection of short stories. This book might be bit of a surprise for my readers. Stories are not funny at all, nor are t...

 Any questions?

 I sort of have a plan to draw a small (one panel/page) book during next summer, 150 pgs or so. If it's possible. But to publish it I wo...

 1. Additional pgs 3, maybe 4  2. Actual pgs undone 3 (Estlander, Finnish comicbooks 80s) 3. Check finalized pgs 4. Finalize the 9 pger not ...

 What I know Läskimooses in French, set to 2025 Suomaan kansan muinaisusko, fall 2023, wsoy 7 vuotta tii petissä, waiting to be scanned... K...

 Pretty much only way I can do this is to try to finish the book and then see how it turned out. Have a hunch that I need a change in style ...

 

 All my coolest projects were made possible by the lack of interest from the general audience. 

 

 All the main elements done for the SUOMAA-book. Prequel to Läskimooses comes out Fall 23. 

 Looks like two books coming out next year, maybe 3. No news on the Läskimooses translation(s).
