So, I’ve been doing this for a year, right? Well, it hasn’t been the best year of my life, but it was better than 2006, I guess. Rather than dwelling on that shit, though, I’m looking forward to 2008. You see, I’ve been taking it easy on the writing for the past couple of weeks, and conducting business. Let me tell you about it.

First off, the ironic bit. I go back home from LA to discover that I’ve got film contacts. Early in this new year I’m going to write something, we’re leaning toward a nasty little horror/black comedy. More on that as it develops.

The novel is still underway. I’ve had time to really discuss it with my co-writer, and it’s big, it’s good, and it actually feels like a real thing that I’m working on. It’s still a lot of work, but once I stop feeling so burnt out and I get back into the swing of writing, it really shouldn’t be too long before it’s written and being shipped to agents.

Comics. I’m starting to rethink A Deeper Shade of Gone, just because I’ve found it nearly impossible to get anyone else to be interested in that. I have, however, found somebody who wants to publish comics but doesn’t really draw or write them, so we’re discussing starting a label. We’ll see how that goes. I’ve got three reasonably large projects in various stages to launch this thing with, so I’ll be working my ass off on those. They’ve even got artists on board! Huzzah! Hopefully before 2009 you’ll all get to hold in your hands the first Peveril brothers’ (all three, not just Shamus and I) joint project. The brother gimmick works, so we figure we should take advantage.

As always, I’m still producing the short fiction and shopping it around. I had a breakthrough today that I think might get a piece that I like, but nobody wants to print, published.

That’s it for now, I guess. The third page of Death’s Children is up too, I’ll probably upload the last on before I leave Halifax. I think I’ll pop up in the next couple of days to tell you all about the webcomics I discovered in the past year too. LOOK FORWARD TO IT!

I’m going back to California soon. I’ll post later tonight with actual news and page 3 of the comic.

So, yeah, it’s late. I blame the slow internet connection. I’ve posted the next page of Death’s Children, though. I’m also in the midst of planning a pile of bigger and more awesome things. We’ll see how that works out.

Okay, so I didn’t get it done yesterday. Here’s the update, though. I’ve decided that Shamus is taking too long to get me the last pages of that story he’s drawing, so I’m just going to go ahead and post the next one.

Death’s Children is written by me and drawn by John Muth. I’ll have regular weekly updates until it’s all posted (four pages means four weeks), and I’ll get the rest of the pages of The Time Traveller posted as I get them.

I’m back in Halifax. Now that I’m near able to connect to the internets properly I’m going to post something relatively major. I’d do it tonight, but I’m dying of the “head full of snot/weak and tired feeling” disease. bleh
