Writing...
I wrote the first couple of pages of a new book today. Tentatively to be called Still, Life With Boobs; A Sapphic Memoir. Various people of my acquaintance have expressed interest in stories I've told, mostly on the late, lamented G+ site, about how I became who I am. So... I thought maybe I should mine that.
In the vein of My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness , I'm writing it as the script for a graphic novel / manga. Of course, I can barely doodle a stick figure, so I'll need to find someone who's at all interested in drawing the pretty, pretty pictures.
Or, you know... not.
Anyway. The point here? I wrote some words. Yay!

I know that I'll read it when it's done! Unfortunately most of the comic artists I know are busy with their own work or I'd toss out a suggestion for a collaborator, but I've explored the concept with a couple of them in the past and found out that they have too many of their own stories backlogged in their brains right now to do collab work, which ended my brief flirtation with turning my book series into either graphic novels or "light novel" style works with several illustrations. From what I understand though there are sites where you can advertise and see if anybody is interested...

Illustrators, even in Dojin circles, are more highly valued than authors. According to the prevailing theory, anyone can toss a few words on a page, but skilled artists are gold.
