Previews from the future - Des aperçus du futur : HSK 1 + HSK 4

Very excited with the progress made these last few weeks!  I'm very confident I'll meet my personal deadline (click to see the post on that).  Here are some last previews of my future work, before I pause posting and make the final push to finish the book.  Enjoy!  Feel free to like or comment below. : )

Still can't tell what's going on?  Once all the dust clears in August/September, it'll be clearer when everything comes together.  In context.  With the whole story.

And one final hint:  a few minutes after reading this post, try remembering these pictures. ( :

Personal Deadline: AUGUST - Date limite perso : AOÛT

    I just realized I've been giving a lot of hints as to what the book will be about, but not really giving a date as to when it'll be available for order.  So to let you know when the suspense'll be over, and to give myself a push to prioritize tasks, I'll publicly set a deadline for me to meet:  the book and a link to order it will be made available here by the end of August, at the latest, before September 2013 (before school starts--oh, another hint?).

    Je viens de me rendre compte du fait que je donnais bcp d'indices sur le sujet du livre, mais pas une date qu'il sera disponible à commander. Alors pour que vous puissiez savoir quand la tension dramatique se terminera, et pour me motiver à prioriser les tâches, je vais publiquement annoncer une date limite que je dois satisfaire : le livre puis un lien pour le commander seront disponibles ici à la fin du mois d'août, au plus tard, avant septembre 2013 (avant la rentrée à l'école...oh, un autre indice ?).

Oh boy, that took a little wee bit longer to write. : )
(By the way, all the French has basically nothing to do with the book, but otherwise it'd be a pretty indirect connection--it's just for fun. haha)

Short Break

Here's a cherry and a potato, and another hint:  HSK

Another vague hint

Progress has been good so far in terms of keeping a creative flow of ideas.
I made about 15 pages so far (with unfinished plans for many more), but a little bit of a pause as other priorities came--but only temporarily:  I just got better tools for making drawings.

And here's a bigger version of it.
