I took Creative Nonfiction again this year and ended up writing about comics. My class and teacher really liked it, enough that I made it my project for final revision. So here's the final version for you all, if you're interested- my cynical and totes biased chronicle of being a fan of comics. A lot of you will probably remember this stuff ( Read more... )

but I am the important one.

Yeah, we had Fanaticon, and I pretty much stayed there all day. Gail was our sole big event. We talked for a bit and she signed all my trades. Also a picture! I will post pictures later, there were a lot of costumes because Asheville is where normal is weird. I saw most of my friends ( Read more... )

I was all set to do the Super Steph review actually before the next comic came out but then I realized I left  the comic at the apartment.

Maybe I can get it tomorrow or Monday.

In fact, if it weren't for the in depth analysis and reviews he does, I wouldn't be able to keep up with the nonsense that goes on in the Superman Universe half the ( Read more... )

So,a casual observer might be inclined to think-- what does DC have against Asians?

Poetry for Creative Writing I Wrote- this went through a lot of editing- the fact I found out I had to do a "theme" for all six of my poems- and I chose the World- really helped the poem. I turned one line into a motif, and I changed the ending. You don't want to know how much worse it sucked before.

I chuckled from the first few pages, where Tim admits there are ( Read more... )
