I’ve decided to start calling these “weeknotes”, since the term makes a lot more sense, especially if I want to do shorter daily updates.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 16: Live and Learn
It’s been a while since I sent one of these. Two months, to be precise, but I needed the break.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 07: Minor Breakages
I haven’t sent out a status update for the last couple of weeks, and I haven’t posted on my blog in that time either (as I had intended).
There’s a simple reason for that – I’ve been going through stuff. For three weeks, I was busier than I’ve been in a good while, partly because work just lined up that way, partly because back pain slowed me down, and because sometimes you just have more work to do.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 02: Along We Rumble
I toyed with not writing this one at all – the back pain has returned, and I have to push through it and work, so spending time writing doesn’t feel like the best idea. But I decided I’d go back to writing on the phone in bed to give my back a rest, and honestly, this makes for a good distraction.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 01: Part 2 – Reviews for the Week
(This one’s coming to you late because someone – probably accidentally – reported my newsletter as malicious content or something, so I was locked out of sending new ones. Buttondown had to audit and then clear it. We’re back in business!)
As mentioned in Part 1, here’s my reviews for the week. If you prefer my personal rambles to these, you can just skip this one.

Weeknotes / 2024 / Week 01: Part 1 – Best of 2023
First newsletter of 2024! I’m back home in Pune, settling in. We got back home early on the 5th, which turned out to be Friday, so I don’t have to officially start the year till Monday.
Since I have that breathing space, I wanted to reflect on the coming year before it properly begins.

Weeknotes / 2023 / Week 52
We skipped a few weeks here because, well, I’m on holiday. But even before I was travelling (I’m in Vietnam at the moment, sitting cosy in our hotel room in Hanoi while K reads a book), I had a couple of weeks of mild back pain, and this time, I decided, for once, not to prioritise my writing over my health.
I also had to finish up my remaining work for the year before my vacation (December usually has early closing in comics, so you end up with a month’s worth of work to finish up in two weeks), but I wrapped this up in the first week, and decided to rest before travelling.
I did entertain the idea to finish up my big series outline/beat sheet on vacation, but once we got here, I figured it’s a vacation, and I’d rather be out and about in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi than sit in a café and write (though there are some wonderful cafés here and we’ve done some champion sitting around in them, usually with a book each).
I did, however, want to post a final blog/newsletter to close out the year before we start fully anew next year.
