Progress

I've still only completely finished page 15. But I've got 16-19 pencilled and scripted now. 5 more pages to script. Feeling a little blocked on them. Should be easy, though. I know the first few panels of page 20 and I know pretty much what 23 and 24 will be. And 22, probably. So I just need to know 21. OK, I think if I go do 20 I can get through 21.

I don't know who I'm writing this for. Oh. Myself. Yeah.

I babble at myself all the time when I'm trying to figure out what I'm supposed to write. Even when I haven't been up for 19 hours and am planning to stay up another seven.

Wow, I got seven whole hours left.

Plenty of time.

If I can just stay conscious.

24 and 9

24 is how many pages I have scripted and roughly penciled. 9 is how many I still need to ink. ("Roughly penciled" means anywhere from "I drew detailed figures" to "there's a blob where a person is supposed to be".)

Still, I've got almost four hours left; I think I can do it. There's virtually no chance of me abandoning the project before the deadline any more, although there's still a small one that I might not get everything inked before the deadline.

I'm feeling good about it, though. I think I'll make it.

In 24 Hours

I.

Did.

It.

Howl's Moving Castle

It's actually playing in my area! YES! So psyched! Diana Wynne Jones is one of my favorite authors, Howl's Moving Castle is one of my favorite books, Miyazaki is one of my favorite directors, and I love anime.

Wait, it can't possibly live up to all those expectations. Oh well, gonna go see it this afternoon anyway. :)

Assuming I don't abruptly crash in the next hour and a half. I slept for three and a half hours this morning, from 7:30 to 11:00. I would've slept longer but ... uh ... my body doesn't want to. O_o We'll see how this goes. I haven't been up for 24 hours straight in at least ten years. To be precise, I was up for 26.5 consecutive hours yesterday/this morning. In fact, the last time I remember being awake for that many hours straight was my 16th birthday. Presumably I had some all-nighters in college, though, that just didn't stick with me as memorable.

But however you look at it, I don't have a model for my sleep pattern from here on. Could be interesting.

More about the challenge soon. If you were hoping I'd shut up about it now that it's over, sorry -- you're out of luck. ;)
