Time for a quick update on V3 progress!
All but ten pages of story are finished. I’m pulling an average shading rate of 6 pages per week. Factor in an extra couple of weeks for cover art, polishing, tweaks, and the book will be with the printers before Halloween.
Volume 3 is on the verge of being print-ready. …I can already feel the my sanity levels rising.
Usually we grab shipping supplies from Staples, but not for Volume 3. Today we received beautiful, hulking boxes of bulk-ordered shipping supplies. Combining our living quarters with a warehouse is kind of a fun experiment - and just in time to have company over!
Fortunately, everyone loves cardboard boxes. We’ll make a maze or a fort to play in. That’s business done right.
Once again, my reply rate with e-mails and art accounts has been sacrificed on the altar of Production. Churning out V3, filling orders, restocking merchandise, and keeping a job nailed down doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room, and my slave-clone is turning out wrong in every way imaginable.
But despite that, I believe Volume 4 will be going *much* faster than Volume 3. I’ll speculate more on that later- but for now, the end is finally in sight for the next installment of Dreamkeepers.
I think it’s going to be a fantastic holiday season.
