Time Ain’t Always On Your Side

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 don’t [...]

Gestalt Mash - Comic News

There’s another link you’ll all have to add to your blog roll, guys. It’s another comic news site and it’s also another place to find my writing.

Gestalt Mash
It’s a new comic news and views website. It was a while back that the site creator emailled me and asked if I’d like to be involved with [...]

Toe The Company Line or #>*$ The Man?

I’ve been doing some reading lately (I know, what a shock) and some stuff has come to mind. Hear me out, it’s about writing and comics.
I Am A Writer Of Comics
I want to write comics. Hell, screw that, I do write comics, they just haven’t seen any publication yet, but I still write them. I [...]

thoughtballoons - Mephisto B-Sides - Track 2

Here’s another lurid tale of the red man downstairs that I did up for thoughtballoons but didn’t feel quite made muster. I like the script but it felt like more of an Emma Frost piece than it did for Mephisto. A man of his stature should stand a little taller in his saddle so I [...]

thoughtballoons - Mephisto B-Sides - Track 1

Last week’s thoughtballoons character was Mephisto. He was a character where it took me a few goes to just get it right. I actually penned two scripts before my final piece came to me and I set it up, here, you can go read it here! Or click the image below to go to the [...]

Ideas For A New Age

I’m at that stage of a project where I’m damn excited. It’s about all I can think about and I just want to make sure I have everything in place before I rush blindly over the top and into the gunfire. I’m thinking about all the different aspects of the project as I go to [...]

Manageable Lifestyle

I’ve spoken previously about what I expect of myself, and what is reasonable to expect of myself. I tend to, it would appear, expect quite a bit from myself; short nights, early mornings, dedication, diligence, a functioning brain. It’s a lot, but I try to only ask for what I know I already have.
Recently, I [...]

Writing Everything Leading Up To The End

It must have been at least two months ago when I wrote the end of my novel. It was only two paragraphs but it was perfect, this was where I wanted to leave the scene and float away. I penned it down in the notepad next to my bed and all was right in the [...]

Fade Down The Lights On The Holidays

My two weeks of glorious vacation is over. And what have I done?
It’s been a pretty productive one, I must say, though not as productive as some have been in the past. I spent the first few days vacationing out of town with the wife on a ‘babymoon’. A mate asked me if this was [...]

Monday Mornings For All You Sports Fans

Man, I love starting the week. It’s hectic but it’s also a great time to get stuff done. Especially when you don’t have to go to work. I could get so much done with my days if I just didn’t need to attend that pesky place that pays me so I can pay my bills. [...]
