I was hoping I'd be vaguely coherent enough to write a decent post tonight but it's been a particularly hellish day. There are certain sensibilities that people either have, or do not. I wholly respect that. Mathematics, art, storytelling... these are skills half learned and half innate. But there are always those things which seem so blatantly, glaringly obvious that they should be common sense to anyone. These are the things that apply equally to all people, or so I assume. And that is how you should treat others based on how you would like to be treated. At least if you want something from them. So why do 90% of employers do everything in their power to derail and demotivate productivity when they should be after the opposite? And could accomplish it with just the barest of gestures. Clearly a boss is a creature which has no recollection of having ever been human. As too many adults were apparently never children.

But that is hardly on-topic, save for the fact that these miserable trivialities inhibit production of my astronomically more important work in amateur webcomics.

My delinquency in that arena is due in large part to the daily grind, but that couldn't stop me altogether on it's own. It's the fact that my weekends have likewise been dominated of late. And the one and only weekend I've had at my disposal was dedicated entirely to story development rather than art. I've not concentrated exclusively on the story side since april of last year when I had a whole week to myself to do as I pleased, and I feel much better about the solidity of the tale each time I have opportunity to do so.

Right now I feel more eager about it than ever. I just wish I had the time to give equal consideration to the arrangement and pacing so that I could proceed without such halting progression. Next month, I am scheduled for fewer hours, which will hurt my wallet and standard of living considerably, but will hopefully give me the chance to finish fleshing out the finer details.

I resent succumbing to the webcomiker's curse of inconsistency. But bear with me during these rocky beginnings. I know I've said this, but we've yet to touch the surface of the actual story. We're still milling about in the fog looming above.

As I get it together should I regroup and make a fresh start or allow for the awkward progression? The site will at least get a revamp. And the title is under tentative debate, though eldritch will not go altogether out of use, either way.
