DICE!

I’ve been at the Dublin International Comics Expo (AKA DICE), which is Dublin’s rebooted comics convention. Tell ya what, I’m feeling really enthusiastic about making comics now. :) I mean, that’s not unusual, but I’m ready to press on with “Take A Chance” and see what’s going to happen with it as a graphic novel, and perhaps soon do another chapter of that story. And–I do tend to think in completionist arcs, so when one of the things discussed repeatedly this weekend was short stories, it was something I listened…

things! many things!

I have *finally* gotten the green light on the title for the 9th and final Walker Papers! It will be SHAMAN RISES, and if all goes according to schedule, I believe it’ll be out in December 2013. (Book 8, MOUNTAIN ECHOES, is out in January, I think.) I spent some time this morning talking comics with a friend, and now a part of me desperately wants to run a Kickstarter for the second chapter of “Take A Chance”. This is no more practical than running any other Kickstarters right now…

Crowdfunding: What’s Up Next

I’ve ended up with some FAQs about what I’ll be doing next for crowdfunding/Kickstarter, so I thought to close this series out with a poll, which I’ll post shortly (ETA: I have posted it! It is here!

Surprisingly (or, y’know, not), the most common question is: So will you be doing this again? Um, yes. Yes I will.…

Damn, I’m good.

I’ve just gotten the first pencils for TAKE A CHANCE: CHANCES ARE, which will be the second graphic novel, assuming we manage to sell it. And I gotta say, damn, I’m good. Not because I’m specifically so cool, but because I’ve found some really incredibly talented people to work with, and it’s exciting and amazing. So pre-order the first one so we have a better chance of selling the second! :) Speaking of Chance, it looks fairly probable that we’ve settled on a cover for it. This could still change,…

hey!

Apparently Chance #5 is out today! YAY! That’s the last of this story arc! Holy cow. End of an era, there, at least for me. And of course the graphic novel will be the *real* end of the era, I guess, but wow. Wow. Damn, congratulations to me! And to my team! Go us! Also, because there has apparently been a big fat fail on the acknowledgments in this issue, I’m going to say this here: I would like to extend my deepest thanks to my husband, Ted, for having…
