I just uploaded pages up to page 104. The scripts keep multiplying! All my page numbers for my scripts turned out to be off, because script 100 turned into two scripts, and then I wrote a new page to go between two of the later ones. They're multiplying like rabbits!

I'm really seeing the benefit of the buffer now. I don't have time pressure for any one comic page, so I can let all the pages I'm working on swirl around in my head. The nature of plot is that situations change and spawn new situations, and that happens in a pretty extreme way in LleuGarnock. The elves don't really have a status quo situation, like they would in a comic with multiple short story arcs. Since it's one large story arc, I have to fit jokes and fun things in wherever they fit. I like to get the essentials of the next stage down on paper, and then as I sort of wander around within that situation I've created, I can add little fun things. I've been able to do a lot of that in the section that I'm writing, and it's been incredibly fun.

I'm thinking again about which size of Cintiq to get. I was thinking that if I got the smaller one, I'd regret it and wish I had gotten the larger one. On the other hand, I might find the larger size too clumsy to work with, and it wouldn't fit in my laptop case. I just got the case, and it would be kind of nice to be able to bring all my supplies with me when I travel; although I can only think of a few places I'd be comfortable bringing a Cintiq. Of course it wouldn't worry me so much if it was a model worth a thousand less.

So I'm trying out the Shangri-La Diet, as it's called in the book. It seemed like something that would work for me because it's a simple change, so it works with my GFCF requirements, and it doesn't require a lot of scheduling or recording. I only sometimes have to remember not to eat for the next hour and I've only forgotten once. It's also a good plan for people with low metabolisms, and doesn't require any exercise, which is cool.

It seems to be working, in that my appetite has been greatly reduced. So I'm enthusiastic and we'll see how it goes. I'm taking the canola oil route, but I want to try adding fructose, since the book recommends a combination of the two. It should be easier to arrange my schedule once I get used to how hungry I get and when.

Well, I ran out of cop shows to watch, so I'll probably go to bed soon.
