Kibou o (ga?) motteru yo...

I feel a bit better about work today. My very fun afternoon and evening with Yuumei-chan Sun night is half of my current positive outlook, and the other half is: Temp title editor emailed me to say he should have the script to me for my first volume by 4 to 6 weeks before the due date of April 25th. I should finish both the English and Clay v9 by the end of Feb. If Clay editor runs true to form, I'll have 2 to 3 weeks of no new Clay before I am sent the late script for v10. So while I am waiting for Clay, I can work like mad and pull ahead on my three shoujo titles. Shoujo editor is very good about sending me scripts nice and early--particularly Nana. So I can use my Clay break to build a huuuuuuge lead on the Shoujo stuff. Script for Clay v10 and Temp should arrive around mid March. But since I intend have this huuuuuge lead on my other three titles, I'll be able to take a short break from them, perhaps do one or two pages each day, while I concentrate on Clay and Temp. ^^V Yoshaa! We have a plan!!

Work completed Sunday: (series v#.p#) Clay 9.10, Nana 12.123 and 175, New 1.29, Skip 9.18. One orange, three greens, and one yellow. I only worked for about four hours on Sun b/c of my aforementioned outing with Yuumei. ^^ Oh, and I did start a 2nd orange with Clay, but I lost my will to work and crashed. I finished it Monday, so it's included with that day's quota.

Work completed Monday: Clay 9.12, 13, and 54, Nana 12.176 and 177, New 1.35, 37, and 38, Skip 9.12, 19-21. Three pinks, three oranges, six yellows. I had a good day, as mentioned above! Only two pages short of my Clay ideal quota. ^^

And now, some ramblings on Claymore and Nana. Anything spoilerish will need to be highlighted to be read. ^^V

Here's hoping I can accomplish as much--if not more--work today!!
