I start feeling full of interesting ideas when I'm avoiding something. In this case I'm avoiding contacting my library-related contacts, but the side benefits are very interesting.

I want to write a 24 Hour Comic. Can anyone recommend a good instructional book on cartooning/semi-representational sketching? I don't want to draw photorealistic Wonder Woman. I just want to be able to draw a dog, or a man facing in a couple different directions, without having to reinvent the wheel.

I'm still working on the guitar thing, though I've taken a few days off from it. I've been listening to a CD of belly dancing rhythms until I hear them in my sleep, so the next time I pick up my dumbek I should have a better feel for it.

I sorted all my art supplies and all my office supplies, reducing the space they take in my room. Next targets are the toy box, the giant bin of unsorted VHS tapes, and *shudder* the book shelves. I will reduce the quantity of crap I'm lugging around, no matter how much it hurts.

I'm gearing up to put the game transcripts from my Buffy campaign on the web. I've put it off due to group editing concerns, but at this point I'll just take those as they come.

Most entertaining (a couple hours work yesterday), I've started developing a Geek Hanky Code. It's ... significantly more information dense than the usual hanky codes, and probably should be in PDA format. Details coming soon, but in the short term, anyone who really likes data structures want to help me with how to handle multiply-inclusive categories? I have no idea what kind of structure works best for this foolishness.

I've browsed it. I feel pretty confident in my grasp of comics dynamics, it's just the basic Pictionary "what the hell is that" level of drawing that I need. I know a lot of it's practice, but I'm sure there are some basic pointers that make that practice a lot more useful.

Can't help you with that. My drawing skills are pretty limited. Like, uh, I can draw a pretty good cat!
