NTOO, a novel
The story that I'd started forming about a year or so ago, which I'd made a few test comic pages for, is now a novel in progress. "NTOO", title to be revealed later, is a historical fiction story about a group of young women in 16th century Portugal, unable to stay completely tethered to normal societal roles, each with their own unique reasons.
It's my first time aiming to write and finish a novel. I'll have to write a minimum of 400 words per work day, for many months, in order to reach a word count that will categorize it as a novel. At the very least I'll surpass a minimum word count to make it a novella.
I'm looking forward to typing this up while moving through the seasons here in Portugal, imagining a more optimistic life for villagers from long ago, who might not have fit in with everyone else.
Shaken (2025)
This is a 12 page wordless manga, read from right to left like with Japanese manga, that I drew in a very short amount of time for a contest. It was my first time using digital screentones (which was a bit of a learning curve, let me tell you) and making a comic with a different reading direction.
Here is a snippet. Read pages and panels from right to left!
