I like making New Years resolutions. I’m not sure I always stick to them but they’re fun to think of because it’s a time to truly put yourself before the microscope and be honest in what you want to succeed in the coming year. Which is often tantamount to admitting what you felt failed in [...]

Here’s a brief look over the year that was. Best Book Fun & Games – Duane Swierczynski I read this book within days of buying it. It helped I was on holiday, with a bit more time on my hands, but be damned if this thing didn’t rock my socks off. Swierczynski is a household [...]

A package was sent to my house this week. This was my wife’s response. The package was addressed to our son. It’s his first birthday in a few days, it makes sense he’d be getting something in the mail. The sender’s name was my wife’s name, or so it would appear. Upon seeing what she [...]

I am a writer. I take that role seriously. I write every day, I think about it constantly, and I am determined to make something of my words. Hell, I kind of already am as I write for a grand total of 5 websites, with another gig slowly getting worked up behind the scenes right [...]

A Book Fair the size of an aeroplane hanger. That’s how it should be. Except, like a rookie, I organised to meet mates there. I felt like a fool riffling through boxes of comics and tables of books while trying to chat and catch up. This is a solo exercise, or only for the most [...]

This one’s a little weird, so hold on. I had a dream last night. Or rather, it was more this morning. Anyway – Frank Miller was in town for a screening of something (not The Spirit) and afterwards I found out he was staying with the people next door. I ‘accidentally’ bumped into him out [...]

I consider myself a writer. I write damn near every day. I think about it a lot, I do it even more. And I produce work. I do not doubt myself as a writer – though at times may doubt my quality. I am constantly trying to better myself as a writer and I found [...]

I’ve been away for a while, I apologise. I’m sure you’ve all been distraught. Here’s the excuse. The site got hacked; or something. My mate actually hosts all this here and suddenly I was flagged as a site that could attack your computer and explode it, or something. I don’t exactly know the ins and [...]

I have been defeated, it’s true. Time has elapsed and I can only get so much done. I have to stop and admit I am human, and I am fallible. And I’m certainly both of those things. I busted my ass over the weekend to end up with 5 scripts of 5 pages in length. [...]

I’m not always a massive one for blog meme’s or anything. I find some of them interesting but usually they just hash out the usual stuff. I created a comic book meme and watched a few run with it, and I’m still waiting for a XXX meme to rear its ugly lubricated head (and I [...]
