Spring Check-In!
Here comes the sun do do do do
Hey peeps! I’m back. It’s been a bit of an unplanned hiatus yet again. College has made making time to write these much more difficult. Although, I think I might’ve gotten a bit burnt out as well.
A couple updates:
I’ve upped my game in learning Japanese. I took a long beginners course over a year ago, but this last quarter of college I finally continued my learning. And I’ll be continuing this quarter as well! It’s been a blast. 私は日本語をべんきょうするのがすきです。^-^
As you know, and for those who might be new, I’ve been working on a manga-style webcomic for the last 3 ish years. My last goal of finishing the outlines for volume 2 by winter break (see Winter Check-In!) didn’t exactly happen, however I think I’m very close! I’ve been focusing more on the scripting process, and I ended up writing about two chapters! In total that means I currently have 12 chapters in the can. I’m also trying to rework some early plots as new lore (which seems to do this a lot) has made some of the scenes make less and less sense.
While working on my project has been slow, I feel like after the burst of work I did during my spring break I might be able to try for a schedule that’s maybe more consistent. I’ve been more inspired to work on it than I have in a while.
Since another one of my passions is music, I’m gonna drop some music recommendations that I’ve been listening to here:
The album “Penguin” by Fleetwood Mac. I found this at a thrift store on vinyl and it sounds pretty great! I also find it unique from other bands in that many songs on the album are sung by a different member of the band.
“There is a Light That Never Goes Out” by The Smiths. This song, which my friend showed me, seems to fit well with melancholy vibes of early spring, but that’s probably just because of when I started listening to it. It has a sort of evening mood.
“For Your Sins” album by Dea Matrona. I honestly don’t know what else to say about it other than it has good vibes. A mix of chill and whimsical sounding rock.
That’s all for now! Thanks for reading and tune in for next time!
