October is always a pretty productive time for me, mainly because Inktober gets me back into daily drawing and project creation. So I've been doing a lot of drawing but also getting into a lot of writing! Because I'm drawing more, I'm also more inspired to work on projects even on weekday nights and I've had a lot more time on weekends to work on projects too because I've been socializing a little less this month (other than the week that I was out of town).
So this was something I actually did for the last CUPdate but now that it's publicly out there, I can talk about it here! I made a drawstring bag design for my brother's birthday gift this year. You can find the design here on RedBubble.
And then I've been keeping up on doing Inktober every day! I'll post all of them next time, but for now, here are a few for now:
I decided it would be fun to make mini Notion project pages for all of the projects I've ever worked on! That'll be a big project to go back and document everything, but I figured this could be a fun way to look back on projects I've done and document all of the aspects of each project. I want to even include very small test projects in there so I can remember everything I've done. I started with a few projects.
I've also been doing a bunch of Eventure rewrites while I'm reading through them. I rewrote the Rovi Eventure first to make some of the parts more impactful and overall remove some of the generic parts that I wrote over 10 years ago in there.
Then I updated some of the Neo Obelisque Delivery Eventure, mostly doing a copy edit pass to update some things. But I also removed one part that was pretty unnecessary and replaced it with a shorter scene that connected better to the end of the Rovi Eventure.
And then I rewrote the Welcome "Home" Party Eventure, which I revamped entirely. It's now called the Tag World Ceremony Eventure and fits a lot better into the story. The previous iteration was basically a filler, so now it feels a lot more integrated and leads up to the next Eventure (which we still haven't written or fully thought of ideas for).
And then I decided to make up a new Eventure and do a little bit of re-ordering. The War on Tag World is now just going to be combined with the You-Know-Who's Reign Eventure, so instead of just pushing every Eventure number up, I decided to add a new Eventure to fill a gap after the Return to Sir Dude World Eventure. It's called Kali's Motives and goes into more depth about Kali's past.
So that's about 60 pages worth of new Eventures I've written! So this time was pretty productive, even though one of those weeks I wasn't working on any projects, and I did have some health-related issues in the middle of that. But I got a lot of writing done and have been keeping up with Inktober for the most part.
