Hey everyone.

I'm back from my skiing trip in Colorado! Now its time to finally get Anima out there. I'm currently sending chapter 1 around to friends and family who will be my beta readers but I think the first chapter/issue is now pretty much ready to go.

My editor and I got stuck for a while on chapter 5 due to a few confusing choices and pacing issues that had to be ironed out. Chapter 6 is all that remains to be done now. As soon as the work on chapter 6 is done, I will have the green light to start posting these comics and I think the initial post will include the first 7 pages, then two pages a week after that.

Drawing wise, im currently roughing out pages for chapter 2 and I expect to be done with that this week. We'll have no trouble staying on schedule with page releases because my backlog is getting rather large now. Larger than I thought it would be.

I hope you guys understand why my editor is wanting me to wait instead of just releasing it now. If we come across problems in the story that require changes earlier on the script, we'll be screwed if that material has been released already and we have to make sure that won't happen.

I'm gonna try to hustle this project out at this point because I'm getting impatient.

Enjoy the rest of January everyone.
