The Lowdown

A few people have told me that they miss the comics I used to post here at Dawn of the Dad. They ask me why I haven't made any recently and I generally don't have an answer for them. But I think it might have something to do with all the other stuff going on at the moment. So here's a list of what I'm up against each and every day in part to account for the absence of comics and in part just so I can look back on this someday and say, "Wow! I was a busy dad."

1. Baby J's changing Behavior - She's growing and does not like it when I do anything except play with her or follow her around. I get what I need to get done during naptime.
2. Grad School - I am a full time graduate student and take classes at night. I have to do all kinds of projects and reports. I just completed a few midterm exams. I'm being taught how to be a better teacher. And just by reading this, you are being taught that I am being taught to be a better teacher. Go tell someone else and continue the chain ad infinitum
3. YA Novel - A lightning bolt of inspiration struck me about a month back and I began work on a young adult novel. I work furiously on it when I can at the exclusion of all other creative projects I have going at the moment. Usually I try to bang out about 1,000 words a day. Things have been going well so I usually do better than my goal.
4. Regular Blogging Duties - I'm not sure when or why I decided I would write each and every day about Baby J related happenings but that's what I do and I can't stop now. I've kept up with it really well so far and oddly enough my readership has been growing. I owe it to my devoted fan base which at its core is pretty much just my mom and dad.
5. Dishes - I do a lot of dishes

So there you have it. No time for comics. In the words of the great Uli Kunkel, "no funny stuff."
