Hello, All:
I’d like to remind everyone that Benita and I will be attending the Woodcarver Retreat this weekend, hosted by noted horror writer and supernaturalist Bob Freeman. Many of you might remember Bob as the writer for the “Johnny Saturn: Synns Of The Father” forward, and an old hand in the indie comic world himself. Benita and I will speaking about the differences of writing for comics, as opposed to writing for prose. We won’t be covering many of the fundamentals of storytelling and writing, because those in attendance are skilled prose writers in their own right.
Hi, Folks:
Like most of you, I surround myself with media all the time—podcasts, CDs, books, you name it. (OK, I don’t watch TV, but I don’t really miss it either.) So, for no other reason than for you to compare your personal mediasphere with mine, here’s what I’m into at the moment:
