Good News
The good news is this round of updates finishes up Chapter 1 of Polterguys and Bree finally gets to meet her new housemates! Well, sort of. It gets even more interesting from here so I do hope you stick around.

I know I have a lot of web-savvy friends and followers who read more webcomics and I just wanted to check in and see how the experience of reading Polterguys has been for you. I’m always interested in improving my methods and if it’s within my capacity to change something for the better, I will totally go for it. Poll will close April 6, 2012.

Let it be known there have been some pretty challenging weeks for Polterguys and this has been one of worst! This week alone, my fingers started acting up again. My internet connection slows to a halt in the evenings and just a few days ago, my scanner/printer stopped receiving the wireless signal from our router. Yesterday, we managed to get it scanning again but it’s refused to print anything until a new replacement cartridge for colors arrive.
On streaks of bad luck like this, one really has two options. You can quit – decide that the universe MUST not want you to be working on whatever it is you’re doing, no matter how badly you want to. “It isn’t meant to be.”
But you can also keep trucking on because these are only temporary setbacks and you’re made of sterner stuff. If you are willing to admit that sometimes there are factors beyond your control that will conspire to delay your work, you can decide how to address them in rational ways.
I will probably get the other blog post up tomorrow. Apologies for the delay!
EDIT: Nope sorry, it’s not happening. My fingers are really messed up and the internet connection is just impossible to work with. I will try to get it up as soon as I can.

On March 7th, a kind user over at the Manga Raiders forums had read Final Track, my Yen Press Talent Search entry, and sent me an email requesting an interview for his high school project. Like other users in that forum, he was interested in creating his own manga. I asked if it was okay to share the interview on my blog and he didn’t mind so you can find the entire text below- slightly edited (because I wrote up my answers just around midnight after working on my pages as usual.) I thought you might find something useful and I guess I also just wanted to mark the occasion of my first “official interview” as a manga artist. (Shhh, I know academia doesn’t count but let’s just pretend it does!)
