Earthquake of the Hands

There may be to much sugar in my system. Writing is one thing, but trying to draw during a sugar fit is like using an Etch-a-Sketch on a bungee jump. Might turn out to be a tribute to the '90s phenom "Science Court". If only...

Move To the Left, Move To the Left, Move To the Right..., Oops, Too Far

Sub another story.

http://www.24hourcomicsday.com has come and gone, but I, in my folly, am still working on it. Having only heard about it a few days before the event, I halfheartedly decided to do it. Then forgot. I didn't even prep. So, a few hours behind, I began, and am still going, hours and hours past deadline. But, I am jazzed about it. 24 pages. Hm.

Erase This

Well, I received a rejection letter for a short story. That means, that story will be published by another means, assuredly in the book I want to put together.

Happy birthday, Robert Benchley.

Division Incision

I was watching "Ladies and Gentlemen...Mr. Leonard Cohen", and suddenly, I had a poem come to me.

"My Body Will Shake"

My body will shake.
My body will shake.
My body will shake.
My body will shake.
My body will shake.
My body will shake.
My body will shake,
'til it shakes no more.

Other than doing that, I'm editing a short sci-fi story for submission. Yee-haw.

Anywhere You Can Vision

I pulled out a short story, a short-short, one that still beguiles me, and put it through edit again for the umpteenth time. After that, I hit the submit button. So, if everything works out, that one will be published somewhere. More details later, about that. Staying with that subject, I've reached back further into the crate, and pulled out another story, much longer, concerning my Tyren Universe--and little sci-fi adventure. I love taking the red pen to the white page and doodle notes all over it. The typing of it, of course, is less than desirable, but it is a wonderful step closer to nirvana. Once I finish that edit, I'll submit it to a different place that needs that genre, so stay tuned for that.

Finished the Old Year on a Good Note

The small idea of writing an essay on the Black and White Comics Boon during the Eighties turned into a real piece of work, but I finally finished on the last day of the year. It's posted over at Squidoo: http://www.squidoo.com/boon-to-bust-bw-comics-1980-1990

I will put up a shorter one, too. This one was way longer than I thought it would get to. It was essential to put it all down. 

Happy New Year!

Writing On, and On, and

Published my first Squidoo about England's Influential Punk History, 1971-1980. Enjoy!

As for NaNoWriMo last month, it was a bust, but I'm still writing on it.
