So, yeah, I'm now scheduled to get my gallbladder removed next Tuesday. The Cholecystectomy procedure is in response to the intermittent, severe abdominal pains that I've been getting seemingly at random for a while now. So, yeah, that's a thing that is going to happen.
Huh.
Huh.
April 2024 Status Update
Well, the manuscript for the second Power Penguin novel, "The Battle for Quotherox," has been checked over with a fine-toothed comb. I upgraded my old copy of Microsoft Word, and was able to use a feature that spoke the words out loud. I found and fixed a crap-ton more grammatical errors that I never would have found otherwise. The manuscript is, as of now, 99.9% complete and ready to go. I was able to find an artist to commission an illustration for the book's cover art. Hopefully they will be done in a couple of weeks or so. As soon as I get the completed cover art I will add the title and everything to it. Once I review the final book proof copy, I will set it for release through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. Hopefully, hopefully it should all be done in a few weeks. Also, since my novel is virtually completed, I shall then return to The Humanthro Condition with gusto. I will begin writing and drawing comics again within the coming days. I might start a bit slow so as to get
February 2024 status update
At long last, after seven years of meandering about with very little to show for it, the manuscript for Power Penguin book 2, "The Battle for Quotherox," has finally been completed. The story has been written in full and all of the necessary scenes have been placed and typed out. The manuscript is now 99% completed. The next step will be endless rounds of proofreading and editing. I've surprised myself. I set out around New Year's to try and complete my long overdue sequel novel. In almost two months I've gone from around 50,000 words and many incomplete sequences to the fully-fleshed out story at over 90,000 words. It has been a marathon of sorts trying to get this beast finished. Now I'm closer to the finish line than any time in the past seven years. To any furry art connoisseurs out there, I will now be looking toward one of the next steps: finding an artist to commission the cover artwork. If any of you have any suggestions, that would be appreciated. I'd prefer someone who has a
January 2024 status update
I'm pretty sure by now you've noticed that The Humanthro Condition has not been updated in a while. Well, the fact is it is currently undergoing a prolonged, apathy-induced hiatus. It is not cancelled, just on pause for the time being. However, in the meantime, I have, inexplicably, been recently galvanized into trying to finish my long awaited Power Penguin sequel novel, "The Battle for Quotherox." For whatever diddly-dang reason, I have finally been able to write again! So, for the time being, I'll be working like a Muppet on Pervitin trying to finish up the manuscript with what little available time I can scrounge. This is my current obsession. My apologies to my loyal comic followers. The Humanthro Condition will return someday, but for now my focus has been turned to getting this gosh darn book finished so I can move on with my life! Wish me luck!
Severe Apathy
For the past few weeks I've been experiencing a new form of depression that resembles nothing less than severe apathy. The "I don't give a damn" attitude about life in general. In many ways it borders on nihilism and it is shocking to me. This is why I haven't posted any comics or other artwork in the past few weeks. I've both been lacking in inspiration to draw and desire to come up with new storylines for my comics. I simply don't know how to get out of this hole. I can't make any promises. I want to get better, but it's not as simple as flicking off the depression switch. I'll be a hard road ahead, and I don't know when the going will get any easier...
