Well, the next month will be relatively busy for me. Don’t worry to those who actually care, there are honestly good reasons for this.

1.) Academics
College is the most important thing right now that’s secular in my life, and that means that I will have to spend a lot of time catching up. I am almost caught up in physics, which is good because then I will I have to catch up in chemistry and stay ahead in government and English.

On top of that I will have to make sure that I keep my Calculus up to date. I am slowly but surely making progress, and am almost completed with the first section of the book that I am studying. (Stewarts’ Calculus with Early Vectors) I only have 13 more problems to go before moving on to Section 1.2, and since I am studying this in my free time I want to make sure that yes, in fact, I can do this.

2.) NaNoWriMo
I am present with an opportunity to write out the first of draft of my web comic’s script with NaNoWriMo. The goal of the month that author’s generally take is to write 100,000 words. While I am not sure that that is possible with my life at present, it does give me the incentive to plan out the first three story arcs and to flesh out my characters. With any luck I will have a year’s worth of scripts at three pages a day and take one less thing off my back.

3.) Improving my drawing
This month I am also studying human anatomy in order to better draw the human body. So far I have studied the general proportions of the face, and am currently studying the eyes. There is so much potential for utilization in there that I can see.

The book I am using to study is Drawing the Head and Figure by Jack Hamm. He is very good at explaining things, breaking tasks down into simpler steps. I will probably never be able to have any success as a commercial artist, but I am sure that if I manage to get in a few attempts each day I will be able to improve my technical ability. (After all, that brings the total number of drawings in my sketchbook to +90, and that's not too bad all considering.)

I am also trying to find his Drawing Scenery: Landscapes and Seascapes as well as Still-Life Drawing and Painting. I like his method of instruction, quite obviously, and I think by studying the three and combining them I can make some really great comics for the masses.

4.) Role playing

Not in that way.

I am currently reading through the GURPS manuals. My hope is to gather a role playing troupe and play out a setting based upon the Hugo Award Winning Webcomic Girl Genius. I’m not hoping to make any money off it, just try to make something enjoyable for some of the people that I know since RP groups are kinda sparse in my area at the moment and I want to try my hand at GMing/playing GURPS.

Between these three things I am sure that a lot of you can see why I am neglecting this account.
