Eliza & the Focused Writing Session

Apologies for the hiatus. A lot has happened in my life since I last posted. One of the most significant: I got a book deal. I'm illustrating Michael Ian Black's new picture book, I'M BORED, which is coming out from Simon & Schuster next year. HOW COOL IS THAT?

I've also been taking my illustrating and cartooning far more seriously, and have been drawing a lot more. I've been posting daily doodles on my revamped DebbieOhi.com page, and settling into an illustration style. I used to draw in a ton of styles -- all fun, but it meant that I wasn't really improving in any of them. So I've decided to focus on the loose sketchy style that publishers and art directors seem to like (and frankly, is easiest for me).

One of the reasons I've taken so long to get back to Will Write For Chocolate is because I've never really been happy with that old, tighter style. I -know- it's a big no-no to change illustration styles in the middle of a comic strip but I figure hey, I'd rather change than shut down the comic strip altogether. So welcome to the revamped Will Write For Chocolate! This looser, sloppier style feels much  more natural to me, which means I'm more likely to post more often. :-)

Eliza's Panic Attack

Inspired by this post by @moonrat:

Tip for writers: try VERY HARD to let go of the fear of failure; it doesn't gain you anything.

Excellent advice! I'm going to do my best to take this to heart.

What Would Dumbledore Do?

Thanks to the What Would Dumble Do site for inspiring the title of this strip (and Michael's t-shirt). :-)

Speaking of Lisa Yee (one of the people who inspired this strip), I'm in the midst of enjoying her newest book for young people, Absolutely Maybe.
