I’m up at 5am, doing some writing. It’s cold, Canberra cold, and I am rugging up against it. The vent in the floor next to me sparks up with noise and warm air pulses out. I feel like I’m before my teenage years again, grabbing breakfast on a weekend morning and off to watch some [...]

I found the image below through a Google search, which led me to a CBR forum where someone had obviously scanned it. It’s a wicked page, with the Travel Foreman art looking gorgeous, which makes me ask the question: Why aren’t I getting that right now from him as the regular artist on the series?
I [...]

It’s forming, taking shape, asking me questions and begging for answers. All I want to do is nurture it, talk to it, play with it. It sits in my brain like a pulsating light, affecting how everything else looks.
I want to use the wwInterweb to publish some work. I want to take advantage of the [...]

I have to travel out of town. I could take my laptop with me, but I’m not going to. It will only be for three days and I’ll be busy as a lizard drinking the whole time, so there’s no way I’d get any work done anyway. So, that means I’m leaving my work behind [...]

As I have been writing my novel I have slowly found two things. One, the overall story has changed as I have gone along. Things have become more fleshed out, new elements have taken the story in different places. In particular, I introduced a background character and fleshed her out a little bit. So much [...]

Been writing a bit, as usual. Have the novel up to 45k. It’s all rolling downhill now. It’s interesting to see how much I have had to set up and now to make it all fall in precision, like a literary game of dominos. But this is easier because if something doens’t work I can [...]

I’ve been waiting for this series for months now. I didn’t realise there’d be a new episode each day, that’s pretty wicked.
For those who don’t know, Ed Brubaker is the guy who currently writes Daredevil, and is doing a wickedly great job at it, he also writes Criminal, which is currently on hiatus for Incognito, [...]

I have been waking up at 5am most mornings. Not all. Weekends are sacred, and should be treated as such, and Thursday morning is a bit rough because LOST is on until 11:30pm, so I like to get some sleep. But every other morning shows a 5am morningscape to me, dark as it may be.
I [...]

Nick Fury is a very old character. He’s been around since comics were sitting in newsstands and he always seems to be changing with the times, even if just ever so slightly.
He debuted, in his current spy form, in Strange Tales #135, where he took on HYDRA for the first time. He was a former [...]
