The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

If you follow me on social media, specifically Instagram, you might have noticed a big uptick in activity on my account there. There's a few reasons for this, 1) now that my new book is largely done, I've got more energy to make diary comics again, 2) I'm re-drawing some older cartoons (like this one) to warm myself up in the mornings, and to get myself back into the mindset of quickly writing short pieces, and 3) I have loose, unformed, embryonic, nascent thoughts bubbling and circulating about possibly launching a Kickstarter either later this Summer or in the Fall, somehow collecting a lot of my diary comic and cartoon essay material into some kind of a book, and, frankly, posting to Instagram and getting new followers from being more active on there, will hopefully pay off if and when I do that.

Part of what's holding me back from pulling the trigger on a Kickstarter is just that I'm unsure about what would work best in a collection. I don't know if I want to just gather a Best Of into a book, I think I'd like to put together something more coherent than that, and also I am thinking I'd want to make a good amount of original material to go into it also. So, it's percolating...

For what my 2 cents are worth, re: diary collection… Unless you have work that leans hard onto the date it was made, it might be best to group them by subject (family stuff/ political stuff/ life musings/etc) and separate by chapter. I love BotW. And I still enjoy this comic.❤️

Hey Christine, thanks for the feedback! I think I agree with what you're saying, a better book would be one that held together somehow thematically, even just by breaking things up into chapters.

For what it's worth, those of us who value our privacy, and therefore won't touch Facebook with a barge pole, can't follow you on Instagram. It would be great if you had another platform, or posted everything on Patreon, maybe at a higher subscription level? (Different from the hardcopy level; my house is already drowning in paper.) (Having said that, I'm delighted to own a copy of "Rules for Dating My Daughter.")
