It's not just the comic strip which I have re: images. I have my series of stills too: https://www.pinterest.nz/amandamichelina1994/encounters-adventures-in-wellington/ Plus the 50 shades of me thing, which I think should go at the halfway point of the comic. Rough sketch: 1. Intro/foreword. 2. Parables and Perception. 3. The first panel of stills.

4. Dream O'Clock: introductory essay + the first 10 issues. 5. The Day The Flat Burned Down. 6. Why Aren't Old Broadway musicals more popular? 7. Issues 10-20. 8. More stills. 8. The Plaything. 9. One of my best rants from the old blog (that still exists...).

10. Issues 20-30. 11. The Daktory Wellington saga: part 1. Either a transcript of my tape, or a fresh interview with a journo. 12. Issues 30-40. 13. Another rant, or my short story from high school. 14. More stills. 15. Issues 40-50. 16. 50 shades of me, with a brief explanation. 18. Weeded Out: episode 1 19. Issues 50-60. 20. More stills. 21. Weeded Out: episode 2. 22. Issues 60-70. 19. .... (Daktory Wellington saga: part 2 ?? ) - So, that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of for the book, and I'd like the comic strip and the stills to be on glossy pages (like a magazine). I'm pretty confident I own the Deep Dreams, so there shouldn't be any IP issues with publishing Dream O'Clock, plus it's totally fair use. That's the title of the comic strip, but I'm open to suggestions about the book title.

No, that was 2024 at the wānanga. Now I'm pretty much done. It's blindingly obvious that my level 2 certificate is better than a VUW level 4 one. To be fair, that was my main thing for the year, and

Well, aside from the fact that I'd be arrested in most other countries, it's also a great place to be during the climate change era that we find ourselves in. I'm pretty confident I'll be able to liv
