Yes!! As of tonight, four of twelve pages of the book are largely finished and I'm no longer fretting over deadlines. Just a psychological trick, really - I picked the four pages that would go by far the fastest. But my brain is easily fooled and it finally feels like I made some good progress. Anything to get the ball rolling. I want to have it finished in four weeks at the latest and I now think that's very doable.

I may have even finished the final five pages of "Synth", the Fray comic, by that time. This weekend I visited my Dad for our family Christmas (we always celebrate a week early, it's a thing) and used the train ride for scribbling the final missing scenes. Maybe I'll start pencilling tonight, it's still early and work for today being finished and all...

I also procrastinated a little by reading, ahem, NCIS fic. I know. I have no idea how that happened, two weeks ago I had no idea what that show is about, but FX is showing two eps a night, and I like to have some sort of background entertainment when I'm working, and somehow this show may have managed to suck me in. Never thought I'd enjoy a Jag-spinoff of all things... I never cared much for anything but genre shows. Somehow I developed a taste for procedurals, and with 'Bones' on hiatus it's a nice substitute. It bears some similarities to 'Bones', actually, in that the characterizations are strong and the characters quirky.

Oh, also, the final pages of Chrome-Magnon are already scanned, I located the missing page as well. I just have to change the text in one balloon, then I can upload the whole bunch. I'll post them sometime tomorrow.
