Habits

 I've picked some bad habits on the way. When I send the material to Hans to be scanned it is not really finished. First thing: it's a mess, text added here and there. It is a bit like a manuscript of Joyce, a jungle to push through. Snd I'm not really able to read it myself before the first lay out comes along. And then there will be changes, and I will notice typos, or Hans will. The latest book is now in this process. One more time I will have to read it through and one more time check the timeline. After all this I basically just want to forget it all. And I can't since one more book coming along. At least one. Rest depends on whether I will feel like it or not.

Monday

 On monday the hopefully last adjustments to Ateneum3. 72 pages worth of strange stories from the early 80s. Going to move onwards to book 4 on tuesday. Meanwhile more stuff piling up for book 5. 

Book

 Book 3 is keeping me awake. Everything is taking too much time. The book is not even coming out until November, I think. This particular project has been the most difficult I've ever started. The almost complete lack of interest doesn't help either.

Book 4 I have 25 pages done, but should I even try to finish. For what reason?

Teaching comics

 Teaching comics since 1998. A bit longer actually, but at the Aalto university since that year. I don't know if I've done good, but I've done something. I've seen how things have gone harder for students, pressures piling up, less chances to evolve.  

I had planned I could continue for six more years, but will it happen? 

Waiting

 Ateneum3 still needs some work, not much but some. This is only possible after I see some samples of the colors, so while waiting I have one pictureless short story I can work on. But wait, this means I'm pretty close to finalizing the 3rd short story collection, and 2nd hasn't even come out yet!

According

 Two people have read Ateneum3 and according to them this third book is better than first and second. Now all I have to do is not to ruin anything with the color design. Stressful

Coloring

 Doing coloring, which pretty much means all else is done. Well, not quite not quite, almost, though. Hoping to get the book out by end of October. Nuff said
