Comics are here!
Hey There!
Happy Friday! Apologies for the late email and lack of video. With the holiday chaos, I fell a little behind this week. But everything will be back to normal next week!
I’ve got exciting news…the comics arrived today! And they look amazing! Honestly, it was a little bit of a nail-biter because I’m leaving town for the holiday over the weekend and I was starting to have nightmares about them arriving while I’m gone and coming home to boxes that had been snowed or rained on. But everything worked out! I’ll be back home Tuesday night and I’ll start packing them to ship out to backers after that. In fact, I’ve already got them unboxed and sorted so they’ll be ready to go as soon as I get back.
In other project news, I’ve been talking with a couple of artists this week about shorts I’m planning to write in the New Year. They’ll hopefully appear in a couple of really cool anthologies — I’ll be sure to keep you updated as those projects move along.And I’ve been working on a very rough outline for another project I’d like to get to eventually. It’s a time-travel story that centers around the relationship between a mother and daughter. It’s going to have to go on the back burner for a litte while since I’ve got other stuff to focus on first, but I wanted to at least work out some of the broad strokes.
As far as comics I’ve been reading, I’m up to the fourth voulme of Lore Olympus and absolutely loving it. Last time I said I found it adorable — and I do — but I didn’t realize how heavy it was going to get at times. Rachel Smythe is really masterful at weaving between those difficult moments and the playful, silly ones. I just love it more and more as I go.
Well, that’s it from me for now. As always, you can find me on Instagram, @sarahcookewriter and @nospellcomic, and X/Twitter, @sarahcookewrite.
I hope you have a lovely final 11 days of 2023, and a fantastic start to the New Year!
Best,
Sarah
