I am totally tired and totally without brain. It was lovely out this morning, so I took myself on a walk down into Cobh town and took some pictures, then trundled back home, where I proceeded to do none of the things I’d meant to today. Well, no, that’s not true, I did finally make marshmallow creme so I can make fudge for a couple people. And then I cleaned the kitchen and made cornbread to go with the (insanely good) chili Ted made for dinner. And we watched PiratesII,…
squee!
’round about the beginning of the month, I joined , which is an *incredibly* nifty photography community. The idea is to share photos from around the world for each 24 hour period, so the moderator posts at international date line midnight and you have a day to take a picture and add it to the comments on the photo. Then one picture’s selected for the top level posting, letting you scroll through the main page and see a photo a day from around the world, or you can go through…
challenge update
Ok, looks like several people are interested in doing my lil writing challenge thing. I propose using the community to keep track of what we’re doing/milestones we’ve reached in a group environment, since it’s already set up and I’m the moderator there anyway. Official start date will be 22 January, official end date 2 February, since I’m doing this by a standard work-week and only planning to do 10 days, not 2 solid weeks. The rules, such as they are, are to set yourself a goal, be it daily or…
last go-round on Chance
Jimmy was perfectly understanding about me turning them down. No bad blood. I didn’t expect there to be, but it’s good to have it confirmed. He also said if I’m resubmitting to Image Central then for heaven’s sake don’t mention Shadowline (since presumably we don’t want IC feeling like sloppy seconds, even though that would really not be the situation). I have to email him about something else, and then probably tomorrow the comic will go back into the mail to Image Central, and we’ll start all over again. :)
balls of… [chance filter]
I’ve just turned Shadowline down. I spent the weekend thinking, and I went through the issues that we’ve got written/art for, and I think I probably *could* cut it down to 3 issues. But doing so would pretty much strip out all of the character development and interactions and humor: what I’d be left with would be a flavorless Batman-with-boobs ripoff. I think the story is better than that, and although it is not any fun at all to turn down a comic book company offering to publish my story,…
