Late merry christmas...

Why is it that everytime I make a post there's an error that makes me have to go back and retype the everything that I already had! DX I'll probably write more later... provided this gets through.

Important Stuff First:

EDIT: It's wednesday... so close... Soooooo close. Finished my exams today, but I likely won't get much work done til sunday, as my little brother's graduation is saturday. END EDIT

So, Nora's third page is half done... but won't be out today... or tomorrow... or at all next week. Some of you who care might ask why. Well, long story short... school. I got weeks worth of make up work to do, finals and other various tests. This will likely take me the next week or so to do. I didn't forget Nora, trust me, I'm just... working.

I've been thinking about things I would do... if Nora got popular. A bit premature, I know, but it makes me curious. What am I supposed to make if/when NFS becomes big enough to justify merchandise? |D I guess I shouldn't think about it too much, as it really isn't a huge concern right now.

Ah. Also, looking for freelance work... small jobs, preferably. Maybe making cards or something. I just dunno where to look or where to start. (Need some way to finance Nora after all. D:) Anyone got suggestions? Creig's list and EBay have been suggesed. Mind you, I still have some past commissions to finish so it's not a huge issue til I'm done with those first.

Not-so Important Stuff:

|D I'm trying to take better care of myself... more controlled eating, do myself up, and finding a sense of style that makes me feel comfortable. I figured I'd try this ... Lolita style. (*blush* It's embarassing, but I like some of the styles) It's nice looking, modest and not always absolutely ridiculous looking. I might even think about designing dresses more specifically to my taste! ... You know. If I could sew. I-I'll have to look into that...

So! On a diet. Wanting to try new clothes! There's one site called Minoo.com that has nice dresses for a good price compaired to some others I found, but the shipping kills. Anyone know other sites that have Lolita-esq dresses and blouses? http://www.lolitafashion.org/styles_list.html <--- This site helps explain some of the styles, for those who are confused. Me? Leaning towards a more mature style. Aristocrat, gothic, maybe casual... XD I don't like pink, let's put it that way. Or short shirts... or showing a lot of skin.. or... Yeah...

What else? ... Ah... KORRA. MY GOODNESS YES. It makes me ... so happy... Ridiculously so. Sad the fire Ferrets didn't win, but they totally would've if the ref wasn't a cheap ass. D< I think this is the only time I was happy the bad guy showed up, because he put the Wolfbats back in their place. |D

Think that's it for me... DX Wish me luck, guys. See ya in a week or so. Sooner if things go well.

For those of you still sticking around, I changed the chapter cover and uploaded the completed first page of Nora and the Fallen Stars. Hurray? I'll try and keep a weekly updating schedual until chapter one is up and complete. After that, I have a vaaague idea of what I'll be doing schedual wise.

Firstly, probably gonna stick to a schedual of writing for five or six chapters, drafting for three and finishing two so I have one to show at least once a month... for a while. That's the idea, so ya'll will likely have to deal with another long period of nothingness. Sorry in advance, I'm still trying to get myself organized and get the guts to do this.

SO! Ideally, page two will be out tomorrow, followed by page three either this time next week or sooner. Gotta figure out how to comfortably use Sai and Manga Studio together... but MS is so confusing and stubborn. It won't take PSDs and I'd rather keep my layers between programs. Blaaaaah. Ah, should also look for a more suited text for later pages where 'people' start to talk.

So, that's now... right now... Yup!

Thanks again for your patience! Page two's coming your way!

PS: Anyone got some icon/logo/title design advice for me? I really need it as I have nearly no idea what I'm doing.
