Quick note to all faithful Normalinauts – which sounds somewhat cliche from anyone who’s spent a decent amount of time on something like LJ, but it is true, I am still alive! Yep, breathing in and out and everything. I must sincerely apologize for my recent and unplanned absence from the world of very faithful NR.
What you missed (from my side anyway) while I was gone:
-Salem had his first trip to the ER = parents were panicked, fevers were high and hatred for the medical system ensued. Salem is fine of course, the fever ended quite abruptly with minimal testing and trouble.
-Ran into trouble with the publisher for my half decade long GN project, a contract was terminated, the book was finished, and then the details of the termination of the contract were finalized, all in that order. The book, now done, and apparently contains no real ability to cause ocular trauma, is now looking for a new home. The people I have on my side seem exceedingly capable, so hopefully before too long, a home shall be found. The completion of this book has damn near killed me, on and off for the last 5 yrs… now it is slain, like the dragon it is!
-APril, Salem, Wednesday and I have moved yet again, from one part of the city we just moved into to from F-town to another, nicer part of the new city we recently moved to. The “move” is still ongoing and must be completed on Friday, but this biggest parts are done and much heartfelt thanks are in order for Manatol and John Paul for their assistance.
-Day job (vid-games) has been party to some rather dramatic and unforeseen changes, a lot of which seem to be painfully positive. We also had our first company outing in almost a yr… we went bowling, I took home top score. Booya bitches.
-Trying still to figure out attendance for SDCC this yr, especially in terms of a place to stay. Since the new trade collection (as in a graphic novel formatted release) of The Cemeterians is coming out at the end of this month from SLG, I really should get off me arse and attend properly… we’re sorting out the particulars still.
…and that’s the most i can remember off the top of my head. As most of these things are now done, over-with and have run their courses whatever they were, I am hoping to return to NR this week, properly, with artwork and a webcomic. Sorry again for the delay – I miss and love you all.
Cheers,
–Aleister
