Greetings from Box Hell.

- I’ve been writing The Demon King. Or rather, I’m working on rewriting. I now have five polished chapters. Nice.

- I went ahead and did another Demon King comic panel. I posted the rough draft on Dreamwidth (here) and the finished version on Tumblr (here). At some point I decided that elf ears are silly, but I’m going to keep the sharp teeth because it’s fun to draw.

- I started my fifth Wiztober illustration like a month ago, and I finally went back and finished it. I don’t know when I’m going to get around to posting it, but (here) it is if you’re curious.

- Now that I know how to draw murder forests, I’m working on some Legend of Zelda fan art. (This) is what the rough draft looks like.

- Because I’ve been tied up with moving, I haven’t had any new art to post, so I went ahead and posted my first two Wiztober illustrations (here) and (here). I’m trying to figure out how to draw eyes in a way that isn’t Disney but also isn’t anime. I think I’m okay with the Studio Ghibli eyes in the first illustration, but the Sailor Moon style eyes in the second illustration just don’t look good to me anymore.

- I finished an original short horror story called “The Flower Ritual.” It’s surprisingly decent!

- I submitted a writer application to a horror movie fanzine. I hope they like Japanese horror movies from the 1990s, because I sure do.

- One of my acquaintances on Twitter is organizing an academic symposium in conjunction with the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, so I submitted an abstract along with a nice cover letter. I have thoughts and feelings about “the Zinecourse,” and I figure that maybe it would be worthwhile to organize them into a formal essay.

- Some good news! My review of the indie comics anthology Comrade Himbo was published on the Women Write About Comics website (here). TLDR: This book slaps.

I took a break from Elden Ring to finally finish Furi, and it made me feel like a boss. Unfortunately, this does not change the fact that I’m still stuck in Box Hell. I guess I live here now.

You got so many things done. I cannot do nearly this many things when I'm packing for a move.

People's differing experiences with moving are so interesting, aren't they? Unpacking has always been the soothing part for me: I get to make beautiful order out of chaos and all the things expand into their right spaces, as opposed to making everything shrink down into the Wrong Shapes so they Fit In Boxes and all the walls are wrong and I'm crying because my home feels like a prison now.

It's easier to write every day the more of your like....daily life fatigue can be outsourced, I think. Whether that's in the form of hiring a cleaning service, doing a meal delivery thing, trading off with a partner so each of you only has to Do Stuff on certain days.....but at the end of the day that all boils down to either money or a specific kind of understanding with your partner, and that can apparently be hard to find.
