Research

I suppose I better include my research in my journal keeping.
So here's a link to an article on Wage and Price Controls in the Ancient World.

How is this relevant? Wage and labour controls are a key factor in the collapse of the Californian State, which is the major political event in the early stages of the Madman story.

Because I believe in making less work for myself, I've decided to mesh my blogging and writing "career" with my education. The one catch is that I need to keep a journal to prove I'm actually doing work for the Student Directed Inquiry course.

So now I'm going to be further polluting my dumping ground for fantastical-Madman-related nonsense, with the realities of creating the Madman World.

So as my first entry, I'm going to outline exactly how far I've got with creating the world.
I have:
Written a rough draft of part 1 of the Novel.
Written a rough draft of issue one of the comic series... Oh yeah, I haven't announced that to the world yet *SSSSHHHH*
Done all the work on this here blog.
Enlisted an Illustrator; the master Nick Sinnet, otherwise known as THE WARMASTER.
Acquired the contact details of a printer.
Come up with a reasonable plan to fund the printing of the comics.
Sold my soul to Satan, in return for the presence of mind to pull this off.
