I’d really wanted to get the pencils for episode ten of A Coming Out Story finished by Wednesday.  But it was impossible somehow.  I swear I worked on one solitary panel all night Wednesday and that was all I could get done.  I would put down a line and it wasn’t right, erase, redraw, erase, redraw…over and over and fucking over again and it was so frustrating.  Finally I got that panel done and by the time I just had to go to bed for the night I was certain that I wouldn’t finish by Sunday like I wanted to.

Thursday wasn’t much better.  Then…tonight…somehow…I got another head of steam up and I finished the pencils, and then blasted through the inking nearly halfway.  And now I’m actually further along then I’d originally wanted to be.  Go figure.

So…barring some catastrophe, I’ll have episode ten up sometime Sunday after all.  I have no idea how professionals manage to keep to their deadlines.  I just don’t.
