Okay, you should begin to see now that I am actually capable of finishing a project step by step. Take no note of the fact that I have done a number of creative and wacky things in a scheduled order that looks like I put my to-do list in the mixing bowl and beat it to pieces with a wire Whisk. (It is tricky to type this now, because my “o” key is giving out and I have to either punch it repeatedly, chews tu intentiunally misspell werds, or use verbiage sans that particular letter.)
I have been working on my novel projects at the same time as I have been coloring this beauty. One would assume that it was the novel When The Captain Came Calling (Thank Gawd that title has no letter “O’s” in it), but naturally, it is naught. I have been putting way more wit and words into my Sci-fi novel, Star Dusters and Lizard People, a sequel to Catch a Falling Star. The Telleron crew of Xiar’s base ship have reached the planet Galtorr Prime, in the Delta Pavonis star system, and they are beginning to explore and find out what a miserable world it is.
I also added about half a chapter to the Captain novel, but I am still introducing the little people and the Pirates. I have not even gotten to the sinister cloaked figure lurking in the shadows. (This book is actually a re-write, so I am not creating from thin air like I am with the Stardusters.)
I also spent time drawing a portrait of Sizzahl, a new character for Stardusters. She is a little girl who is a biogeneticist and a genius who also happens to be a lizard person. I will show you and tell you more about her in an upcoming post.
So, I drew this project in a step by step order that was really more of a step here, then back-track over there for a bit, then do another small step, then go over here sort of order. I can’t help it. I am what educators call a “non-linear” thinker… also known as right-brained, global thinker, or total creative nut-job.
So, since I am not following a straight path anyway, let me finish this post by plugging a friend’s book. My friend Stuart R. West is a blogger and novelist from Kansas. His humorous blog is called Twisted Tales from Tornado Alley and can be found here http://stuartrwest.blogspot.com/. I am recommending his new book that can be pre-ordered from Amazon.com. I haven’t read it yet, but the book is called The Secret Society of Like-Minded Individuals : Book I
I honestly think you will like it. If you can stand or understand my writing, you will find Stuart to 
be very much the same kind of wacko bird. I have to admit though, he does scary way better than me. He knows his way around a thriller. (And thank Gawd his name is not Stooart. Dang “o” key!)
