So I didn’t go to Motor City this year, but I did swing by and visit folks afterwards. All the usual suspects were there: Paul, Sean, JimO, Pam, Michelangelo, Matt Feazell, Katie, Suzanne, and a new guy named Jeff. Man, it’s really good hanging out with the cornwhackers. What great folks. So nice to see everyone, especially because of conversations … Read More

Paul is off to the Motor City Comicon. I’ve lost enough money the last few times I’ve done the show that I’ve elected to stay home and work on the book. I will, however, be leaving tomorrow evening to pick up Jim O and crash the Cornwhacker* dinner party, which is always the best part of the show anyway. Hooray! … Read More

I spent a portion of last night redoing some of the dialogue, and resetting word balloons on several pages. I know, I know, I shouldn’t be working on earlier stuff, shush. You can only redact so much before your’e redoing the whole page. But the new style of balloons is much better — I’ve started using it on the new … Read More

Paul’s out of town again, so I spent the better part of the day alternating between rewarding my muse and bludgeoning it to produce work. I’ve a gnatlike attention span right now, due in large part to the fact that I usually spend several hours a day on the internet, and it’s a pretty hard time staying focussed when I’m … Read More

Dialogued a few pages last night and the night before, and hope to continue with it. Dialogue is really, really hard for me. Fortunately, an old college buddy has lent his editing skills. Hooray for brevity! I hear it’s the soul of…. something.

I recently got a not-so-subtle hint from a rather influential source (no, not you, CatBoy) indicating that I need to get my rear in gear on the new book. So, in an effort to keep me honest, I’m going to be posting weekly updates here. Fear, she is a great motivator. Current Task: Dialogging 39 pages. Next Task: Complete difficult … Read More

Here’s a link to my article in the Kalamazoo Gazette. It’s by the same guy that did my interview in the Ypsi Courier, only with a few things changed. There’s a nice photo in the print version, but I forgot to pick myself up a copy because I’m a giant bonehead. If there are any local Kalamazerds around, could someone … Read More

Are you a prose writer? Do you want to be? If so, go here and read the List of Twenty Worst Literary Agencies and learn how not to get burned.

The Vault of Midnight store is moving from its current home on Liberty to a brand new location on Main street! It’s going to be residing in the old Afterwords shop. There’re plans to use the whole downstairs as an event area, with couches and the whole nine yards. This move is a huge risk for Curtis and Liz and … Read More
