I did a rather good sketch this evening, as I was wondering what to do next with the Toby/Orphanage tale. It was pretty interesting. Unfortunately, I buggered it up, due to someone being "funny" and creeping up on me, scaring me shitless, and smudging the thing.
Oh well. By the way. Ta for the comments. Yes, Gaiman is great, I own most of The Sandman series, and the majority of his backlist. I am eagerly awaiting the new release later this year called The Graveyard Book. Over on his blog you can see the finished adult cover art, which is very nice.
I will be continuing to post up the Toby/Orphanage tale as I continue to write it. The bit already up has went through a few revisions before its posting, and I am still not happy with it. It sounds good, but the overall thing fails in the details. The children are going to be forced to work in a small cloth-making factory in one of the wings of the orphange. The sisters sell this off and make extra money on the side. Toby will get his education solely from sneaking into the sisters' private library after hours, and I think that its in one of these late night outings that the tale will move onwards.
Night. Blake.
