Sequential Tart Review of Courtney
Courtney Crumrin and the Prince of Nowhere may be old news to some, but as with the other Courtney books, it’s still being discovered a year after its release. Here’s a brand new review by Wolfen Moondaughter of Sequential Tart. This is one of those reviews that makes me think I may not be all that bad a writer after all.

Things learned and Dragon*Con 2009
1) Dressing up and acting like a dork is more fun than I could possibly have imagined. 2) My con sketches are getting better. 3) Jim Mafood is the Dude! 4) I need a new banner.

Yes, My friends, Dragon*Con is coming up fast. It’s time for mayhem in stormtrooper drag and chance encounters with TV celebrities of yesteryear.

Polly Vol 2
I’m currently beavering away at Polly volume 2. It hasn’t been decided whether it shall be a six-issue miniseries, a GN, or three “prestige format” issues, as I’ve been doing with Courtney. Interestingly, as a writer artist, I understand why artists get the big bucks and writers get the big recognition. Writing is 80% inspiration; art, 80% perspiration. With Polly, once I get a good head of steam going, I can knock out an issue script in a day. But it takes weeks of outlining, thinking and rethinking, doubting, worrying about the gun on the wall in Act 1 and whether I can work its discharge into Act 3. Still,…
