I really have no time to be writing this. But as my friend mentioned the other day, "The best writing is done when there is no time." (Okay, so it's not an exact quote, but he should be happy I'm making his message poetic.) But I thought I should check in.
My current dilemma with Heterochromia (it should be noted that I adore being able to link to one page to give a basic explanation) is deletion. I've made it far more developed than I ever wanted, and now, I simply have to get rid of some things. If I keep those things, it simply isn't my original story anymore, it isn't the direction I want to take it. But that also means throwing away material I worked hard on (or, really, saving it for later use in something else). I just need to take a few steps back before I can step forward again, hopefully in the right direction this time :)
On a different note, when I get around to making Heterochromia, I know exactly what the different volumes will be called:

May Will Be Better
Yeah, yeah. A whole month went by, and not one post. I'm a bad person.
In truth, though, I just haven't made any big plot developments, nor any more half-finished concept art to show or anything. At the beginning of the month, I was really rarin' to go... Had the Copics all charged up, ready to color, but then... I just didn't finish anything. And then I kind of went off of Heterochromia because too many plot things weren't working. I didn't get stuck, but I just had to completely overhaul some of the ideas, which I just wasn't ready to do. Especially since I had nothing to replace them with.
I'm over that now, thanks to a combination of lovely HUGE headphones, Death Cab for Cutie (Plans), and sci-fi writing books. Maybe a little Dickens (Oh A Tale of Two Cities, thou art a cruel mistress... "what plate and jewels would tarnish in Tellson's hiding-places, while the depositors rusted in prisons..." Genius.
