Faffing

I'm still without even dial-up so I have to nip round the corner to an Internet café to collect my mail - and much to my relief, the first script for Stickleback has arrived at last! Back to the grind once again!
This morning I ar bin mostly occupying myself with the cover for the collection of XTNCT, which is driving me nuts; I'm not a natural cover artist, and coming up with a strong, well composed image that sums up a whole story is always a trial. I must have faffed away about five hours on the bloody thing, and the only thing I have to show for it is a sketchbook full of scribbles coupled with increasing anxiety and self-doubt (hence no images with this post).

I need to go and buy some reference for Stickleback, so my current plan is go do that and let myself cool down, then come home and dash off the first thing that comes to mind, which usually gives much better results than thinking too much.

Fingers crossed.
