Independence Daze
Anatomy of a Self-Publisher Summer
Alright, so the past two months have been crazy bananas with travel and events, starting with Free Comic Book Day in May and closing out June with the ALA Annual Conference...
Being that busy has been very interesting real-world proof that promoting an existing book on one's own makes it nearly impossible to work on the next book on one's own.
But I'm happy to say the ridiculous travel schedule has eased...and a story element I was wrestling with has been sorted, so it's looking like I'll be able to make some nice progress on PIX book two - aka get some real work done - while you all enjoy the summer.* At least that's the plan, and I'd like to think saying it out loud will make me accountable not just to myself, but to any of you waiting for more Pix. Just as soon as I recover from ALA, from which I've only just returned less than eight hours or so ago when you get this.
As a special treat, and again, a way to put myself in the hot seat, the image above are my initial notes and some sketches for the next Pix book...or what will be the next Pix book.
*It won't be an all-work summer, though, as I'm looking to embark on my "Summer of Salsas" as well, taking advantage of the tomatoes and stone fruit and melon whatever else, and making salsas that might make for good chip dippin' or seafood accompanyin'. Anyone have ideas or suggestions, feel free to share.
