Well...

Tue Jun 9, 2009, 1:48 AM
It's been too long since my last update, though I really doubt anyone is reading these. Whatever. It keeps me sane. Or does it keep me the right amount of crazy to function in todays world? That's one to think about.

Well, I'm half way through writing The Nomad. I've got a site up ([link]), though not much going on there. It's still in standard WordPress design, though i've switched to a ComicPress theme. I just really don't have the time or the patience right now to fiddle with code that i didn't write. I'm more of a from scratch kind of guy. So, if anyone can or knows who can do WordPress designs, hit me up!

I'm expecting some work from *Protoculture76 here in the next week, so the art is moving along (I hope). I'll keep you crickets updated on the progress as it comes.

I've reached a pretty cool part of the script that I didn't think would be all that fun. Bar Fighting. So awesome the way you can insert lines of dialogue in a fight, and don't get me started on the linguistic choreography, that's an interesting challenge. It takes skill and a little bit of craziness to describe a fight scene in a paragraph per panel. Now I know why comic writers also take the time to learn to sketch this stuff out.

After this, I think i'll let it marinate on the Intertubez for some time. It's gonna be big! The Different has been calling to me like a lost child searching for it's mother. I gotta write Kameko's story! SO MUCH I WANT TO DO WITH HER!

New Goal: Get The Nomad script done in the next week (doable, just need some motivation), and get some stuff published within the next month on the site (i'm payin 8 bucks a month for space, I need to use it!).

Those sound reasonable. It WILL get done, or my name isn't Sir McPoopy Pants of Sesame Street! You didn't know that? Well, learn something new every day!

The writing... has all but stopped. Work and school have piled up into a massive amalgam worse than any writer's block i've ever experienced. I'm still working on ideas when I can, though that doesn't seem to be happening much at all.

well that sad to hear i hope you do something creative soon man and we can still do a collab or something.

Thanks man. I'll keep you in mind if I ever wanna do anything. I've been thinking about doing some pure art comics (short 5-10 page stuff with no dialog). If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, I'm sure I could find some time to collab on something like that.

Any news on The Nomad?

Yea... The project is pretty much dead. Things came up and such. I've still got the script so I'm not giving up hope that one day it will be made. Let's hope I'm one of the winners of the Viper Comics writing contest. With that, i'll be able to score some freelance work and get my foot in the door. [link] there's a link if you're interested in submitting a piece.

Thank you! Keep a watch for my stuff, as i'm gonna have a comic up soon. Though the art might not be great, what really matters in any story is... well... the story!
