Manga Journey update: I am recommended for a job!
from Creekside Artists
I was just offered a proposal by http://digitalstrips.com/ to be one of their Manga bloggers for their website!
And they are going to give me some money as an incentive or appreciation when I blog for them! However, nothing is decided by both parties yet so I can’t comment any more than this.
Yet I am truly overjoyed when my manga-journey blog is recognized!
What does this mean?
What is important is not the amount of money that I can get out of blogging, but what it truly important is that when you put your heart and soul onto your dreams, be in your own manga or webcomic journey, there will be others that will recognize you!
I hope this will encourage all those who are daring to do webcomics or manga as part of their vision.
You see, we start small, and then end it big. Too many of us are discouraged because the road seems tough and everything looks like chaos.
Like one of my beginning stickman art to practice the art of illustration, road are full of hurdles.
So it gets really tiring fast when noone is walking alongside with you in your journey.
However as long as you continue, even in the smallest steps, you are still progressing. Just don’t stop at any point!
A cord of three strands is not easily broken.
I am also going for Japanese lesson to learn how to speak and write Japanese, while going for manga classes.
However, there was once that I nearly gave up Japanese altogether, because I had to skip Japanese class to complete my university assignments.
And I held up the whole class because I couldn’t translate some English into Japanese. It was an embarrassing situation.
A classmate came up to me, encouraged me, and asked me to start a study group for Japanese together!
That really encouraged me altogether, and after awhile, during my holidays I was able to pick up again and continue my journey!
Now I wished I have someone to walk with me in my manga journey too.
And all that is hanging on with me is my manga teacher.
So if you have like minded friends who are into manga drawing, do form a “study group” together if possible. Otherwise, it’s easy to give up, as the lack of practice will dull our abilities.
Final words for this post.
I am still not due with my next assignment with my manga teacher, and hopefully I will be able to produce some drawing first before going through my inking lesson.
And I will let you know about the progress of this manga blogging job. I’m keeping my hopes up and I hope you are encouraged too!
That’s it for this post. Stay tuned for more updates on my manga journey!

Nice writing style. I look forward to reading more in the future.
Where did you get your blog layout from? I’d like to get one like it for my blog.
I must say this is a great article i enjoyed reading it keep the good work 
I suggest not to get it because it has discontinued its support, and I had to tweak some css and html to make it look the way it is.
I am actually looking for a better blog design btw.
If you still want it, you can search for “Revolution Code Blue” under wordpress themes in the official wordpress site.
As the author of this theme has discontinued his support, you won’t be able to find it in his own website.
