    Temporary hiatus due to intense course

    I have tried taking it with a positive view, but considering the circumstances, I might have to put writing and drawing away for a few weeks. I didn't think it was going to be so time consuming, but the course is an intense 12-weeks course compressed into 6, and the physical training I haven't done in probably years. My classic "I will run when they come lookin' for me"ideology is taking its

    As if I needed more reasons to be a slow writer

    I've always had reasons to not write/draw while following a specific schedule. Most of them being:

    -Gaming like a mofo.
    -Exhausted from house chores.
    -Simply not feeling like it.
    -Lack of inspiration.
    -Friends come to visit (extremely rare)

    Why I seem to be dead around here these days

    I've seen a lot of blogs these days commenting about fake suicide notes and stuff like that. Not a pretty sight. I was going through a bit of an ordeal myself, but I didn't feel like bothering anyone around here with it, so I moved forward. Anyway, that's not the point of all this, but it's true that the idea of being called out because of all the ones posting lies for attention really didn't

    I draw (horribly) too!

    So, after almost a month full of delays and mishaps, I was able to get my tablet. Suffice to say, I wasn't an outstanding artist before I got this thing, and getting used to it (and learning how to use it) takes time. Ever new drawing shows that I'm slowly adapting to it, but I still was a mediocre artist when I started. For any of you interested, there's actually a comic I'm working on that

My Little Viking, Chapter 6 · 1:10pm May 17th, 2013

This keeps going.

Despite the events that took place between the author of this story and me, I'm still riffing this, firstly because I've sworn to finish it. Secondly, I still consider that I'm doing a good job with this. Riffing is a way of criticizing a story, maybe different from the usual review, but as you read through it and have a good laugh, you still see a grasp of truth in a riffer's words, a good one at least. Riffing is NOT laughing at the author's face; it's mocking the story's mistakes, but in a satirical or sarcastic way. However, behind the mockeries of a riffer, there's also a gate for fixing said mistakes.

I am aware that the author is not going to change anything from the story, he said it specifically when we agreed to pretend to ignore each other's existence. But even if he considers the riff morally shattering, I'd recommend him to take a look at it. At least so the issues he has in the story get fixed in future chapters or different stories.

With that said, I'll let the link of the riff of the new chapter here.
