60 mph gusts made the drive to work wild like playing a video game.

I had to dodge a shovel in the road this morning. The wind isn't that bad, but it's definitely noticeable. I'm hoping we don't lose power or anything, that always sucks :P

I'm planning on doing that once I finish this set of rewrites. For now, Mark is my beta reader and he's telling me things that need to be fixed in each book. He's done the first two so far and is working on the third now. I'm still editing the second so once I get the rewrites done for the second and third bookI'm probably going to look into the beta reader thing, or at least getting some people in a writing group I'm a part of to read a chapter or two and get feedback from them that way.
I've been having Alli read everything so far, and she's really only had one criticism.

Seth/Crazy Ralph has been doing some too, but he's not up to speed, kinda runs on his own schedule.

Two other people that offered haven't really gotten back to me in almost 2 months :/

It took Mark a year to read through my first two because I kept editing it while he was reading it and he had to start over with each new draft to see what I changed :P

Since I stopped editing he finished reading the first two and the only complaint he had was some inconsistencies with one character, which I've mostly fixed I think. I haven't really had anyone else read the most recent versions and probably won't until I have the "final" draft ready (which is a nice way of saying, my draft before I give it to people to rip apart :P) I know one change I'm going to make in a major way to the second and third books though. It's a part I'm not happy with, it works, I just think I can do it better. I also want to completely redo the fourth book cause I'm just not happy with it.

I'm already wanting to tweak the first few issues just so I can have my main character be more consistent. I joked about it on FB already, but I stumbled into a phrase she says in issues 5 and 6 that I like, so I want to put it in at least issues 3 and 4, where she interacts with her mentor/guardian character.

My biggest concerns is dialogue and "does shit make sense?" lol. I don't care about the grammar in my panel descriptions, since they are mainly notes for myself to draw.

For those HMF members with limited or no experience do not despair you are in the 97% group of people that fill out brackets each year so not to worry. When the selection committee picks the participants of the tournament they give each team a numeric rating with 1 being the best and most likely to win and so forth so there is no need for knowledge. A free tip is a number one seed has never lost in the first round. There is literally no reason not to participate in the first annual Tiggnutz Bracket Challenge that you will find in the sports topic section of this forum!

Been better - going through a moderately rough period at the time.

Still, thought it might be worth it to check in with you all.

Been doing well, Tigg?
