Hmm, I’m writing this in a car on a laptop without a backlit keyboard and it’s in times like this where you realize just how helpful those kinda things are. It’s like wifi. I still remember plugging a USB/Ethernet adapter into my Latitude CpT because it neither had wifi or an ethernet port… and it only had one USB port.
So here’s 481. I’m working on 499 right now… just one page away from that magical 500! Of couse, like J said, the number don’t really mean anything anymore, other than just a “name” with which I can address each comic page (since I don’t bother actually naming the pages like J does). I’ve actually drawn quite a few more pages than 500 already; while there are no gaps between page numbers 1 and 500, there’s also that axx series that I used for the part two redraw (I feel like I’m mentioned all this before but I think it was to J…).
I’m surprised as to how strong muscle memory can actually be. It always surprises me as to how I’m able to touch-type (albeit not amazingly fast); I played piano for 6 years and I actually can’t play a note. Not even something like “Twinkle Twinkly Little Star”. I can’t actually tell you where any of the keys on the keyboard are just out of the blue, so it always surprises me that I can type without seeing or looking at the keyboard. And with reasonable speed and accuracy too.
I’d like to thank AIM for teaching me how to type. Back in junior high we had mandatory typing classes and to say the least, I did very poorly. We didn’t need to do a lot of stuff on computer, so it’s like language – there wasn’t any real pressing reason for me to learn how to type fast, so I sucked at it. It was only after joining like Militate and talking to these people online that I had a use to type fast(er) and I’d say it was only then that I actually got enough practice to be effective. I wonder if typing is one of those things that you can’t unlearn… like biking?
Main point number one for this update: The plot summary is finally updated. I actually rewrote the entire thing. It’s almost funny to read if you ask me, but the big point is that it’s now current through the end of part 5. Now if I could just keep consistently updating it…
Point two is gonna get delayed cuz I don’t feel like writing anymore. That’s all for this week.
