Recording the creative process
The first thing I did for today's cartoon was to write the dialog in the last
panel. Then I drew the figures. Then my office1 scanner, or more
likely its driver or something else in software like the driver
driver2, crapped out on me when I was trying to scan the figures.
Then I typed up this newspost as an aid to calming down (I'd already started
composing it in my head, right before the scanner trouble developed). When
I'd got this far I was resigned to using only my home scanner
indefinitely3 - so official scheduled update time is being changed
from 00:01 GMT to a window of 02:00-06:00 GMT4. Then I went on to
compose the dialog in the first panel.
1 Naturally I drew today's cartoon yesterday, Friday,
during the workday, so as to meet my scheduled update time of 00:01 GMT (I
live in CST).
2 The error message said what had developed a problem and needed
to close was the, I forget exactly, Win32 Host Serializer?
3 Though perhaps the Host Serializer will restart normally Monday
morning.
4 Not that I don't often update in that window anyway.
