I haven't been in a drawing mood, so I haven't done much on page 100 yet (I'm also convinced the script could be better, but I'm not sure how). I'm definitely not worried about getting stuck on scriptwriting, though. 101 to 103 have good scripts already and for 104 and 105 I have something I can work with.

I forced myself to do some drawing for page 101 and I got some decent work done before I got bored and had to do something else. I think the pressure of moving into the third digit is affecting me. I'm not consciously trying to do something special with the 100th page, but my subconscious is totally all over that. I'm not trying too hard to suppress it, since I want every page to be quality, and I'll take any motivation I can get. It's not like I've been unproductive.

Besides the scripts I've done for the near future, I've also come up with a few great lines for later in the chapter, and even some material for theoretically near the end of book one. I've also been writing outlines for the next couple of chapters and making some decisions I'd sort of been putting off.

At my current update rate and chapter length, there will be a little more than two chapters a year. I think at this point I have a pretty good idea of what will be covered through the fourth chapter, or roughly the first two years of the comic. There will be at the very least three chapters after that, bringing the comic to a length of three and a half years. However, it's quite possible I'll actually have ten or more chapters, bringing it up to five or more years.

Wow.

I've been doing this for eight and a half, nine months? I knew the scale would start to inspire awe, but not this soon. Maybe because I'm beginning to see that I was right about the scale, and maybe because I'm surprised to see that I've gotten this far. I'm surprised to see myself potentially on the professional level when I finish this project, confident in my art and my ability to complete other projects. I'm getting to where I want to be.

Wow again.

And wow, all you readers really can't see the scale of this yet. You've got until the middle of next February till you can even read all the stuff I've scripted, see the art I've learned.

I have to get all this done so you can see how cool it is!

I'm excited and I have a swelled head. But I think that's the best place for an artist to be, as long as they occasionally suffer periods of doubt and humiliation also, that cause them to work harder. I like this part best, though!
