I ended my previous update with this caption:
stating that I would see you all very soon with another post. Keeping faithful to Goku’s relative discipline in keeping time, I’m now back a month down the road with another brief update. The last three weeks have wreaked havoc on my brain, positively speaking.
Having completed the rough draft for my comic book script, I would set it aside a few days before initiating my three-phase plan toward publication. Phase 1, which I have just completed, lived up to my expectations as being the most grueling of the three.
With the assistance of my partner (and my ideal reader in residence), we would painfully plod through the details of the script. Frustration was a persistent ally, and criticism was hard to swallow. But after two weeks of wracking my brain over the plot threads and some dubious plot holes, I was finally able to confirm the most self-consistent version of my script as I completed Phase 1 of my overview of the plot.
Phase 2 now begins where the objective is to formally type up the complete script alongside panel and dialogue descriptions. With an imaginary camera, I intend to spin out all the intricate details before I move on to Phase 3 where pencil will be put to paper to get the drawings done in what I expect will be the most time-consuming process of all.
Now that all the brainstorming is over, and the dust has settled a little bit, I expect to post once again on a weekly basis on The Pensive Reverie. While I continue to work from home to the extent that I could, I’ve been able to find some positive outlets in engaging my career goals.
On that front, I will now also be posting weekly updates on my science blog The Procrastinating Scientist as I begin to build what I hope will be the foundations for a career in science writing.
With that being said, I will see you all next week with a focus post on a graphic novelist and comic book artist whose style and fluidity I wish to emulate in my own work (if at all I can match up to it).
HINT: The initials of his name are W. E. E. and there is a pretty big award named after him in the comic book industry.
The Pensive Reverie 
Hi Ajay,
Thanks for the update. Your graphic novel will be the first one I read. I will leave the reading of your science blog to those who would relate to what you are saying. I do look forward to more blogs on the Pensive Reverie. Glad to see your eclectic, interesting efforts and the desire to have a fulfilling life.

Thank you! I’m trying to do my best with what I have. It’s daunting to think how long the journey ahead is, but that very prospect keeps me on my toes and motivated 🙂
