# Getting Started
    
I am doing the preparation for Puercito Fiction: setting up the website(s), signing up for accounts,
figuring out a publishing workflow, etc. 

Once all that is settled, I will focus on sharing what I am working on. By that, I mean more word-of-mouth stuff (e.g. family/friends, group chats, small
communities).

# Comics

I am publishing [She's Perfect, Actually!](https://shes-perfect-actually.puercito.net), a gag web comic about
a couple of silly ladies in a relationship. 

This is moreso practice for getting into the regular habit of planning, drawing, and sharing entries on a regular basis. That said,
I do like the idea of the strip morphing into something a little more narrative driven and even experimental
at some point. For now, I am keeping things focused by making one strip per week. This is the easiest way to 
manage with a day job consisting of weird hours and other hobbies I have outside this site.

## Eventually

I will be putting out a proper, narrative web comic. The current conundrum is figuring out which one. I am caught
between two ideas:

* A dramedy about a college freshmen who finds herself navigating life after they inexplicably being turned into a boy.
* A parable about a widow being banished from her village in post-Crusades Greece and being tormented by an unseen pursuer.

This being the internet, I wager which one of these would be more interesting to folks. Neither premise is intended to be 
particularly long-lasting. Though, I am aware how infamous such intentions are for webcomics. That is why I am carefully
planning ahead. 

These stories will be told vignette style, I reckon. Time is a precious thing and I want to tell the parts I care about.

This is all to say that both stories will be told! It is just a matter of which order and when. Watch this space.

# Planning

As you may have guessed, I have a lot on my mind for what to deliver. Write now I'm creating outlines and schedules. 
Pretty soon I will be executing!

# Philosophy

I, like many people, am completely over platforms. Thus, I am striving to use smaller alternatives, ideally local.
Where I can, I am self-hosting solutions. For everything else, I am producing it myself. 

More than anything, I am harkening back to a time where the internet was more informal, less important, and less 
disruptive. A tad naive, but its a nice thought.
