Just add water and watch it grow...

It is early, Saturday morning and I sit here listening to the "International Creators Panel" at DigiCon and the endeavors that these artist face to see their ideas into being. Somehow I draw some measure of comfort in hearing that I am not delusional in my perception of how much work goes into getting a book off the ground. One of the reasons why the blog suffers from chronic "writer's scatter-shot" (the irregular updating of something that should be done on a consistent basis). Since the last update, much progress has been made. Plans to shoot the kickstarter fund raising video have begun to gel (will occur in the upcoming week), the prologue script (and some initial thumbnail sketches) are complete, a temporary webpage for the site has been put in place as well as a FB fan page, and lastly the incomparable John V McCauley, composer extraordinaire, has created an epic musical theme for Sea Wulfe called "Prelude To Adventure" (stay tuned to hear this awesome piece for our title) Is it moving as quickly as I would like....well, on some days the answer would be "no", but it is moving. So, it is a lot like one of those spongy dinosaur knick knacks that kids get out of gumball machines. You know, the ones that are small and insignificant until you add water and then they grow...swell to a size that boggles the mind. The team that I have begun to pull together continue to pour copious amounts of water on our spongy project, given time we shall see how big this beast can get.
