Listen dear children to my story of woe and amazement. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that not just Sorcerer’s Apprentice, but pretty much all my projects run into some major pitfalls, almost like that old game Pitfall. Delays, unexpected hiatuses due to health, projects and contracts falling through. And this time around there’s no exception. Over the weekend I was pit and primed to finish Sorcerer’s Apprentice v.2. Just 25 pages of text and screen separated me from victory and a short vacation. But after I finished screening chapter 11, I went to take a quick break for lunch. When I return my tablet started behaving incorrectly. I tried reinstalling it several times, and then downloaded the new driver only to stop having it work for lefties like myself. I’ve emailed the company and their response time is 1-2 business days and right before New Years. Well, let’s say I have no idea when I’m going to be able to work on the book again. Or pretty much any of my projects again. Since this a software issue and not a hardware problem, it really doesn’t make much sense to buy a new tablet (especially since those suckers ain’t cheap). So pretty much my only option is to sit back and wait and see.
Well, I guess I’ve been whining for a vacation. The good news is that my tablet issues don’t affect the webcomic. Or at least not Sorcerer’s Apprentice. This does mean I’m toast for Midnight Menagerie and Queen of Games (yes, I had actually planned on working on that). But good Ol’ Victoria’s adventures will go uninterrupted for another couple of months. So I guess there really is a bright side to everything.
