I can’t force myself to write. It would just never work. And, I’ll even admit, not every single word I pump out is solid gold. It’s true.
When something is kicking well inside me I just have to sit down and write it. It has to come out of me. It’s a feeling I get and [...]

I love a good story that you can read in a few minutes. Sure, novels are great, novellas are awesome and long short stories can be really gripping, but sometimes that’s not what I want. Not at all. I want a quickie. I think the quickie has as much a place in our hearts and [...]

No, it’s not to a girl, ha.
I’m writing up my proposal for Ego, the ongoing series that I started scripting last October. I cannot believe it has been that long since I began on it. I cannot believe that nearly a year later I am still passionate about this series and really want to see [...]

Like many a fanboy I just watched the new Watchmen trailer, see it here folks!
I’m pretty pumped for it. I don’t think it will be a perfect movie, and I think the fanboy community will give it a drubbing for that, but I think it will be a very stand alone flick. The comic [...]

I’ve been gone for two weeks. I’ve travelled many a click to go right up the Australian coast, right back down it, got over 2000 clicks done in one day between planes and automobiles, no trains though, and caught up with many people. Drank a few litres of gin, some port and ate a lot [...]

I went to Supanova on the weekend in Sydney. It was an interesting affair, my first con since one in the mid/late 90’s. The thing that really hit me was the smells. It was like an International House of Food, that has gone off five months after a zombie apocalypse. I have no idea why [...]

I was just listening to some old Ed Norton interviews about the Hulk and I was amazed at how he talks about it all. I knew that he had written the screenplay to the latest movie, in which he stars, even if he didn’t end up getting the WGA credit for it. So I knew [...]

I have holidays coming up and I’m kind of stockpiling jobs that I want to do during them. I have two weeks and I’ll be spending the first week in one town and the second week in another, so planning is essential. I will not be at home with my usual array of toys. I [...]

Just finished the third issue of my purloined idea. The final scene, a big fight involving demons, flying, barbed tails, a bit of self-referentialism and a cliffhanger has been hanging over me for what feels like the better part of a week. I just didn’t know exactly what would happen.
I finally got it down today, [...]

It’s a good birthday when you get to kick back, feet on the bed, and read Matt Fraction’s Thor: Ages of Thunder. I’ve been waiting all month to get to it, and it was completely worth the wait. I can only imagine that it has already gotten better with age, the awesomeness fermenting between the [...]
