Here’s an overview of the works in progress and deadlines, for the edification of my fantastic fans.
Running towards new adventures and deadlines!
New SF short-stories completed in March (written on the laptop inherited from my dad, a SF lover):
– 2 in French
– 2 English
News in submission:
– 4 submissions to contests and magazines in the last two weeks. Includes three completed mentioned above, and an English translation of a new previously published.
New texts in progress:
– 3 English (end of March). I really enjoyed a 6-week workshop hosted online by Dean Wesley Smith. His writing philosophy was bang on my weaknesses. Down with procrastination!

Comics

Caricatures
– this one illustrating this column, the first done since the departure of my father. Note that the nature of the land on which the artist threads changes fast. Hence the slope in the title, as in a learning slope.
-One caricature done at the beginning of 2015, in support of Charlie Hebdo.
The promised project that drags its feet:
The trees – which has not gone too far! since the 24-24 when I began it! It will be 22 pages… Tsssk, tsssk, tsssk!
