Ah reckon

 Ah reckon there is only one really good literary editor of comics in Finland.

Calculating

 Done some calculating and looks like I've been proceeding with the rate of 3 pgs in a month for the last 3 years. However, I'm not counting the other projects I've been preoccupied with, only the Ateneum book. And, yes, three years from when I started the book. I sort of estimate it'll get faster, not much faster, but a bit faster. Whether it does or not I expect to be done with this one in spring 2027.

Sinking Ateneum

 The plan is that there will be 4 books of 64 pages. I have various plotlines, maybe too many. The one that I enjoy the most is the, let's call it love story. Pretty down to earth kinda story of two people meeting etc. Although it's not really a love story. Anyways.

Then there are the bigger two conspiracy kind of stories revolving around the legacy of Akseli Gallen-Kallela. Each with their individual twists and turns. 

What I'm trying to figure out is whether I will reveal  the actual outcomes of these stories, or just leave them hanging. I'm tempted to do just that.

When I was starting the book I knew I would need a secret or secrets that could then be little by little revealed, or left unrevealed. After working on the book like, let's say four years, I certainly have secrets. Most of the secrets will be hinted to already in the first book that will come out Fall 2024. 

I have influences for my Ateneum, certainly. D.F. Wallace's tennis academy for one, but also Hogwarts and why not dr Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. 

Really curious to see how this one will play out.

Excelsior!

Bit

 Started to feel a bit enthusiastic of the Ateneum book so what gives?

Second

 Second collection of small short stories. Looks like it's going to be 192 pages if everything goes as planned. Should be out in 2025, like second book of Ateneum whether you want it or not. Be it as it may, I don't want likes. Keep them in a safe place for further use.

Healthy

 Only healthy stance to media attention and publicity is that of Thomas Pynchon's. Just saying.

Prefer

 I think I'm starting to prefer Erato to Harmonia mundi, but it's a difficult choice.

Plans

 I have plans
