#153 Riz-mas Surprise

Happy Blog Day Everyone

Today is a quick one, as is always the case between two chapters of Phantom Dawn. I do have some good news to share though, following my woes about writing last week.

That news? I've actually started a new draft for a story. I think I'm doing what's called a skeleton draft with this one (correct me if I'm wrong) in that I'm writing short un-descriptive paragraphs that outline what I want from each chapter. Doing this, I've been able to complete an outline that can be filled in when I actually start writing it properly. I'm approaching this story differently from others as there's essentially two threads wrapped around each other, being told alternatively. At the moment, I'm using the term Interlude a (followed by Interlude b etc etc) to differentiate it from the more prominent storyline. I've yet to properly work on it but then again, I've got Phantom Dawn craving my attention.

Hopefully I can get meat on those bones soon.

Let's see how our favourite duo are getting on...

The Comic Tales of Brennan and Riz



Riz-mas chaos has begun! Some good things with this one, though I do think I should have gone with one of my earlier ideas rather than what I did draw. Still, got another two Riz-mas strips to go, with the last one dropping on Christmas Eve.

I'm sure I can have some fun with that one!

That's all for this week.

Next time we'll have chapter 21 of Phantom Dawn which may be the penultimate chapter (not counting epilogue) but it also may not? All depends what I write and if it works. We are close to the end, and I'll probably say it several times, but thank you to everyone who has spared the time to read it. I know it hasn't been the most consistent quality of releases.

Till next time...

Keep on writing
