Thank heaven! I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if anyone’s kids went hungry just because I’m too scatter-brained and slow to meet my deadlines!

Sadly, I fear this may be, at best, a delay of the inevitable. Lately, as I attempt to peer deeper into the world of Power Ewes, I find myself struggling. The girls and giant robots I can see so clearly in my dreams are obscured by the rays of morning wakefulness, resulting in messy scripts and disastrous storyboards.

I’m not the only one who says so, so it must be true.

This has been a problem since the first rough drawings of manga, as you’ll remember from earlier diary volumes. From dream to drawing, from drawing to script, from script to storyboard, each step creates a copy of a copy of a copy, further removed from pristine reality. The show that gets broadcast to the public is so far removed from my original vision that I can no longer even recognize it.

Relaxing my work schedule, stepping back from hundred-hour workweeks, and being able to put other ideas into my mind for a change should refresh my creativity. The Power Ewes ratings have never been large, but people do watch the show, and I don’t ever want to let anyone down!
