Oh me, oh my, how quickly I abandoned my (earnest at the time) resolution to blog more frequently. I've noticed several writers who have dropped off the blog radar in favor of having more active twitter accounts. Not so here -- I just tend to drop off the Internet circuit and have trouble catching back up ( Read more... )

As the first Sunday of the month, today was Mythic Greece day, and I had a lovely time in the company of heroes. This was my first attempt at presenting one of the well known heroes of the Trojan War as a child (we're just enough before the Trojan war that these characters are all around, but are youths and young teens). I'm finding myself fonder ( Read more... )

I think I mentioned awhile ago that I did a number of short pieces, alongside Andrew Schneider, for the Empty Room Studios Art Book. These pieces are now filtering about the web, from the Digital Webbing forums to EnWorld to DrunkDuck as the artists tackle each description and make it their own. It's great fun watching it happen over on the ERS ( Read more... )

Yesterday I received an e-mail from my friend and coworker at Empty Room Studios, Andrew Schneider. (Andrew is also one of the new Living Forgotten Realms team for the RPGA.) Back when Amazon first publicized it's Breakthrough Author contest, I pointed it out to Andrew, because I knew he was shopping around a novel. Recently, a small group of the ( Read more... )

Wednesday I finally got around to stopping by my new local comic shop, Curt's Comics and Collectables. This was in part because I'd gotten e-mail from Things from another World, the official Dark Horse store, about the new Serenity comic. (As it turns out, that doesn't release until March, but I'm an e-mail scan-reader, and so I missed this vital ( Read more... )

I'd love to say that the reason I've not been posting here this week is because I'm getting such a tremendous amount of writing done on that novel I said I was starting. Unfortunately, no. I'm getting other exciting work done, though! I've just finished ten short scenes for an upcoming art book that Empty Room Studios is putting together. Andrew ( Read more... )

I got my contract in the mail today, so it's official: I'm the new writer for Cowboys and Aliens: Worlds at War, the sequel to the original Cowboys and Aliens graphic novel by Platinum Studios. The first volume is still available online, and though we'll be departing from the style of storytelling in the original, we are drawing on the first volume ( Read more... )

I just thought I'd share the remaining to-do list (and hint at the secret project I've been talking about--I should have a contract soon, so I can make it official ( Read more... )

While making progress on Regaining Home, I managed to completely neglect other assignments with rather firmer due dates. Which means that this weekend is devoted to those pieces (short articles about authors), and hopefully I'll be back to work on the novel by Tuesday ( Read more... )
