Chatting it up with no one in particular old school, because I’m not cool enough for Twitter.
[23:57] [brendan] Sometimes I feel like the last person on the internet. [23:59] [brendan] Sometimes the internet feels alive, like it's a thinking breathing thing, made up of all kinds of people, and the people each have their own thoughts and motives, and it's awesome. [23:59] [brendan] Sometimes it just feels like I'm looking at cold, dead text. [00:00] [brendan] lost letters written to dead relatives someone left lying around. [00:00] [brendan] I read them anyway, but it feels futile. [09:12] [cp] brendan. [09:12] [cp] this is what you have a blog for.

The Mother Fucking Rock

Filed under: pieces, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 2:38 am

I haven’t evaporated! I did try to, but, you know, pain threshold. Everything’s still happening, unless something isn’t. There may be even more, I dunno. Anyway, in th mean time, here’s a little piece I wrote about Rock music. Consider yourself lucky that you’re reading this, and not listening to the Pat Boone cover of Enter Sandman. Seriously, dat shit not right.

Anyway, here’s the piece. I think it’s going to be a bit of the novel. I’m not sure who’s going to say it. For the record, the first time I really heard rock and roll, it would have been the Doors. I’m not sure which song. Jim Morrison made everything else work, though. Also, I like Cheap Trick.

It would tickle me to no end if every one (hah, since I know how many people that is, it’s funny, so really I mean anyone) would chime in with their own rock music moments. Come on, kids. I know there’s some neat ones.

The actual text is below the cut, and will probably disappoint you.

Filed under: writing, for screen, crazy guy, news, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 7:19 pm

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!

Gone

Filed under: comics, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 8:46 pm

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.

A Deeper Shade of Gone

Filed under: site shit..., comics, writing, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 10:06 am

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.

A letter from Lucius

Filed under: writing, pieces, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 11:50 am

My goal today was to write something that I liked well enough to post here. I hid in a coffee shop until that happened. Results are below the cut. It’s a little piece of the novel I’m writing, and it’s based loosely on a dream I had last night.

Teh Gone

Filed under: comics, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 11:54 am

At a rate too slow to generate interest or to actually be read, I’m slowly getting this first story posted. Here’s the next one.

In other news, the page for A Deeper Shade of Gone is going to change shortly. I’m not sure how shortly. I had all kinds of other things I wanted to say, but I don’t feel like it now. I may post again later. Of course, every time I say something like that, it doesn’t happen.

Unprecedented Productivity Strikes Local Writer

Filed under: comics, writing, crazy guy, news, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 11:19 pm

So, I just finished the first typed draft (meaning the second draft, but the first I’ll ever show someone) of Hallowed. The whole goddamned thing. Holy shit. It will still be a while before the likes of you has a chance to read it, unless you’re unlucky enough to be in my reading team. Of course, even they don’t all read it.

Whatever, though. Here’s a list of what I still need to do:

Find an artist

Figure out how to write a treatment

Trick the artist into producing a few pages for the treatment

Write a treatment

Perform oral sex on the editorial staff of one or more comic publishers

Howl my wordless anguish at the sky

Choke the living shit out of the artist for being a flaky artist

Profit (a very small profit, barely worth mentioning, really)

If you’re an artist who wants a piece of Hallowed, or perhaps a member of the editorial staff of a comic company who wants oral sex, email me.

I’ve got time for a little bit more work related news.

The novel is happening! Seriously. I’m surprised at how much I’m writing, and how real it feels. Creeps me out, really.

Gone is grinding along. Why don’t we all stab Shamus, for not being a little quicker with that. Hell, I’ve got work from other artists waiting in the wings for Shamus to hurry up. Seriously, dude.

There’s a new project! A magazine type thing, which will happen as my credit limit allows in the real world. I think I may have to self publish, on account of it being three shades of batshit insane. On the bright side, I think it will probably make so little money that I won’t actually have to pay taxes for it. Sweeeet.

Working…

Filed under: cautionary tale, writing, the future, crazy guy, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 12:18 am

Let’s see, I’m tired as all get out, so I’ll bullet point this:

Hallowed: Slowly nearing completion.

A Deeper Shade of Gone: I’ve got some artists lined up, and I’m considering hiring someone to stab Shamus if he doesn’t show me some more pages soon. I’ve even started a couple of new scripts, so there should be lots of content soon (in theory).

The Martyr: Tentative title of an upcoming collaboration with an associate from my past. It will probably be a while, but I’ll leak a page here and there. Expect a comic consisting almost entirely of people screaming at each other and getting kicked in the face.

Novel: As yet un-named, and kind of unfocused; you’ll hear more in the future!

So very tired.

Work update: I am so excited

Filed under: comics, writing, the future, crazy guy, disorganized mess — Brendan @ 6:59 pm

Well, I just scratched the last few words of the third issue of Hallowed into my notebook which means that I have completed the first draft of the entire series! All that remains is typing it in, editing everything, finding an artist, schmoozing editors, poisoning/stabbing competition, wrestling a bear, getting the artist to do something, writing a pitch, choosing cover art… Oh God.

I’ll leak some pages of script later to build anticipation.

Anyway, I also have a pile of artists lined up for Gone and my laptop is threatening to die at any moment. More news later.
