My parents aren't terribly fond over the idea of me quitting Timmy's without going to another job first. However, I can't seem to explain to them as a calm, rational human being why I want to do so; and when I try the reasons sound lame and petty. Stupid overemotional tendencies. I can certainly understand where they're coming from, and I've been ( Read more... )

Happy (belated) birthday to katzztak! Sorry for being a day late ( Read more... )

Still writing Flurry #1. Going well so far, although I am worried that what I'm writing won't fit the standard size for most comic books. (For those of you who don't know, normally that's 22-23 pages, and sometimes a bit more depending on who is doing the writing. I think independent comic book writers have more leeway in that respect.) I guess if ( Read more... )

I had an incredible brainstorm for my comic last night. It was sweet. I now know what's going to happen in the first issue. All I have left to do is write the damn thing, which should be interesting since I only have the vaguest idea how to write a comic script. Sample books on comic strips can only teach you so much, and even the authors ( Read more... )

My aunt and uncle came back after staying in their condo in Penticton, BC for a few weeks. Both kitties are back as well. They still like hiding underneath my bed. In fact, one of them decided to crawl into the pull-out storage drawer under my bed. It was very cute and made me wish I owned a digital camera. Funny thing is I opened the drawer so she ( Read more... )

Here it is. A Christmas list posted without any last minute prodding by other parties. The only difficulty anyone may have is if you're looking for Flight Volume 1 & 2. They are an anthology of comics written and drawn by a variety of people, and (as far as I can tell) can only be found through Amazon.ca or Amazon.com. Everything else can easily be ( Read more... )

I think my whole nanowrimo novel is going to be written via notebook instead of computer. Its so much easier to sit and write and get lost in what you're writing compared to staring silently at a screen when you know you could be doing other things on the computer. Plus it gives me a chance to turn my computer off once in a while (the new fan is ( Read more... )

Musicnotes.com lets you print off a sample sheet of paper, and will play the sheet for you with their player. It's rather nice to see and hear how the notes are played. There's even an option for browsers to transpose (for those who don't know music terminology it means shifting the original key signature of the song to a different key) the song ( Read more... )

Attempted to write for my Nanowrimo novel, and something entirely different came out instead:

( Your guess as to what this is about is as good as mine. )

On impules, I'm trying out Nanowrimo again. I've had a story idea lurking around in my brain for the past year or too. Now I've been inspired, and what better way to start writing again than by trying to write a whole book in a month? I work better with deadlines anyway.
